Time to Hire a Marketing Agency?

Starting a new business can be stressful and at times you can feel overwhelmed. How do you know when that stress is not just a 2 o'clock feeling on a Wednesday, but rather it's a permanent workload that will not be going anywhere. In fact, the more success and business that your company gains, the bigger the burden becomes on you and your current team of employees to fulfill the needs of clients, potential clients, and most importantly, the company itself. Here are a few tell-tale signs that it is either time to expand the company or to simply hire a marketing agency.

HOW TO TELL WHEN IT'S TIME TO HIRE HELP!

What exactly is your title?

You have gone from being President & Founder to social media director, event planner, graphic designer, accountant, even the coffee runner. You find yourself back at your senior year internship when all you did was study, work, maybe sleep, and cry. This is a sign that your company has grown, but instead of enjoying your success you are swamped with work and suffering from sleep deprivation.

Home and work have no

difference.

The fine line between your work life and your home life have now merged into the blurry line that is your life. When you leave your real office you have lost the ability to "shut it off". Basically, your drive home has become a brainstorming session that lasts as long as 5 o clock traffic does and as soon as you open the door to your home out comes the laptop and before you know it it's midnight and you are on your 4th cup of coffee.

Jack of all trades and master of none.

Just because you can do something does not mean you should. If it takes you an hour and a half to figure out how to re-size an image in an email, you are not using your time efficiently. Spreading yourself too thin is a dangerous road to go down. The quality of your work when you first started is what made it possible for your company to grow as it has. If that quality level starts to decrease, so will your client base as well as your reputation.
