Where expansion is
NOT just a buzzword
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Competitived Consulting do?
We are a marketing company that performs outsourced sales and marketing, including corporate promotions on behalf of our clients. What this means is, instead of our clients using their own internal marketing or sales force; they outsource to us and actually hire us to do it for them. They provide the different promotions and services and we are responsible for representing them to the local business market.
- What is direct marketing?
Direct marketing is the practice of delivering promotional messages directly to potential customers on an individual basis as opposed to through a mass medium.
- What would be my daily duties?
This would depend on the position the candidate were hired for. Some positions include but are not limited to:
Administration, Sales, Corporate marketing, Team Management, Collateral design, Test Marketing and Working on Pilot programs
- What is the advantage for a client to use your service?
For clients that have never had a sales or marketing team, we can offer them a service that is more effective at reaching target markets than traditional forms of advertising (such as catalogues, media, telemarketing, commercials, and print ads). Our scope and range is unlimited. Clients that have an internal sales force find that our team will not only out perform theirs, but that we will do it at a lower cost. Traditionally, we will enter into pay-for-performance contracts with our client, which means that for many of them it is the first time in history that they have been able to name their own price for a new customer.
- Where is the company located?
Our main office is located in Austin; please see our contact page for more info.
- If I'm a potential client, how would I find out if this approach could work for me?
Before committing long-term to a new campaign, a test market is done to ensure that it is mutually beneficial for both us and the client. A typical pilot program would be worked on for approximately six weeks at a cost of approximately $10,000. If proven successful, we will commit ourselves to the client for a longer time period.
- Does anyone at Competitive Consulting work from home?
No, we stress the importance of classroom teaching and teamwork.
- Why does Competitive Consulting call itself "The future of outsourced marketing?"
There is more to the claim than the growing business trend towards outsourcing and the extraordinary popularity of face-to-face marketing and sales in the age of information. We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to changes in the business world and evolve to meet whatever challenges face us. Free thinking and questions are encouraged. We are constantly collecting feedback from our customers and our clients and improving everything within our own power. The promotional campaigns, office routine and teaching seminars are constantly evolving as new ideas are suggested. Employees are encouraged to step outside their comfort zone and are given challenging but realistic goals on a daily basis. Every week, the entire office will sit down as a group to address current issues. Problems are resolved as a group and decisions are shared, not handed down.
- What are you looking for in a candidate?
We are looking for ambitious, charismatic individuals capable of excelling in a business, leadership, and sales position. Experience is helpful, but complete training is provided.
