There are several reasons why now might be the time to hire a strategy freelancer. This includes:
Time — As you are hiring a freelancer dedicated to strategy, with experience, they can quickly help formulate strategic plans to ensure you move quickly. Another advantage of hiring a freelancer gives you both the flexibility in working hours (evenings and weekends), and the ability to do work at very short notice.
Skills/knowledge — Hiring a specialist strategist will mean they may have worked on similar projects to yourself and will have proven results. You will be able to leverage this experience to your advantage, as they will have learnt what has worked well and what hasn’t. Giving you peace of mind your business is being guided by an expert.
Ideas — An experienced strategist has the ability to bring a new perspective and generate new ideas that you may not have already considered for your business. Their experience can help contribute a new approach and can bring a new dynamic to your business.
Results Driven — A good strategist will have a clear view of their role and what they can bring to your organisation. They can help set expectations, including achievable goals, how they intend to deliver on those goals, progress updates, and key milestones, and finally the specific results that will mean a successful outcome on your project.
