If your business is considering bringing in an external marketing consultant, it's likely that the in-house marketing leaders will have (and should have!) a lot of questions. These questions might include:
Will the benefits Marketing sees actually warrant the time and expense of the engagement?
Does the consultant have the relevant experience to understand your business and give valuable insights?
Will they work with your team to make changes, or will they just hand you a list of unrealistic recommendations?
At How To SaaS, our team is made up of marketing professionals, and almost all of us have been in this position. We've asked these questions, and we've often been frustrated by how vague some consultants are in their answers.
