A solution to a problem
To overcome this, firms in the growth phase tend to do the following. They either allocate an existing resource to look after their marketing strategies, this is likely to be a professional in a completely different discipline such as the office or general manager, or one of the team, who has been ‘naturally’ proficient in winning work. Or they hire a marketing professional in the early stages of their career. This approach is understandable. However, it puts a great deal of pressure on that individual. After all, they have no experience of having delivered these services before.
