You are an entrepreneur. And that means you are the chief cook and bottle washer. Everything lands on your desk and saying that you wear many hats is an understatement. You got into the business because you like it, and you are probably very good at it. And while running your company you have become even more competent and can handle many of the issues that seem to pop up every day. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t use a hand once in a while. It is not only understandable, but it is comforting to know that you can have back-up on some of the more esoteric problems that you seem to face.
There are some obvious functions where you turn to an outside expert for advice and help. You really wouldn’t want to do the work that you hire out to your accounting firm. They have the tax expertise that is easier to hire in than to learn. They know exactly how to create reports that you can show to the bank or potential investors or another company where you need a line of commercial credit. Such outside expertise could be an advertising agency. You may be an exceptional engineer, but the creative juices that flow from the artist at an ad agency are not your strong suit.
So what other functions can be best served by employing a team that performs small business management consulting? Where else does it make sense to bring in a temporary addition to the brain trust that makes your organization go?
If you are like most small businesses, you have a dedicated staff that really makes the outfit click. But they may not always have the most current working knowledge of the fast changing world of business. New technology, new best practices and keeping a finger on the ever changing world of what is cutting edge requires someone that really spends their entire life doing just that.
Small business management consulting is where you as the leader should turn to get that temporary extra help to address a problem that once solved will not require further attention.
CSR is a small business management consulting group that can address the problems that you face. Using a time tested approach that starts with a well thought out plan, through implementation and finally to the results that you are looking for, we become your right hand man. Optimizing your organizational structure, analyzing the market, building your sales pipeline, planning for a new product release…CSR can bring talent to your table that you may not want or need to hire a full-time employee for.
