AlertSource is a team of seasoned executives (past CEO's, COO's, Presidents, SVP's of Marketing, VP's of Sales, VP's of Business Development, Etc.) who provide focused on-going support to improve top-line business growth, through a low monthly commitment.
We improve businesses by offering sage advice, assisting in identifying and leveraging technology, providing a proven methodology, and rolling up our sleeves to push a project through when the need arises.
We are a team of dynamic leaders who act as catalysts for positive top-line business growth. Our goal is to improve businesses of all sizes by applying proven methodology, leveraging new technology, and providing new ideas to spur business expansion.
Alert Source is an innovative new concept, a business development agency...
As a Business Development Agency, we help organizations take control of their sales, marketing, and communications programs to expand and extend their reach. This might include reworking sales methodology, updating web resources, introducing social media initiatives, assisting in identifying potential acquisition targets, incorporating new technologies to improve effectiveness or reduce costs, etc. The ability to come in and extend the executive team is an AlertSource hallmark.
Generally, a complete business development program can be created for a signficantly lower cost than a company would spend on the salary of one VP. This is achieved by leveraging our pre-developed methodology and the level of experience our team can bring to bear. Additionally, because our team is focused on providing a strategic solution, we can be more objective than an internal resource would be.
Too many businesses are taking a shortsighted approach to the current economic conditions. Viewing only cost cutting measures and hiring freezes as the best approach to weathering a temporary business-cycle slow-down can cause a firm to miss signficant opportunity. We at AlertSource agree that disciplined spending is a virtue in every economy, but the old english adage "penny-wise, pound-foolish" can become a reality. For example, economic downturns are a great opportunity to capture market share. Your marketing "voice" is never louder, because others aren't competing with your messaging, and for this same reason, your costs are actually lower. By turning up your sales and marketing efforts you will weather the downturn better, as well as come out of it with more momentum than your competition. Do not turn down your messaging effort.
Innovative deal structures are also something that AlertSource can bring to the table in setting up a relationship with our clients. We recognize the value that we can bring to the table and are willing to structure pricing based on our results. Please feel free to ask about these options when you speak to a representative.
On-Going Support
Our most basic and useful service is our BizDev Advisor program, where for a low monthly commitment a firm receives a set number of hours from our team to provide on-going advice as well as implementing any agreed to programs.
Upfront
Initially a setup phase will be conducted to set alpha data points and clearly outline objectives.
Weekly
On a weekly basis you will, depending upon your agreed to preferences, have an on-site or virtual meeting with your primary consultant.
Monthly
Monthly or quarterly, depending upon client size and complexity, the AlertSource executive team will review progress of the client's program as well as brainstorm ideas for improving their business. A monthly report of actions will be provided.
Annually
An annual program review is conducted and report provided to the client outlining the degree of success of the program overall, as well as an updated plan for the proceeding year.
One-Off Projects
Beyond the day to day assistance of your business through the advisor program, clients may find that they require one-off projects where additional resources must be brought in to complete immediate requirements. AlertSource provides this by making its executives available as needed or bringing in outsourced specialists as required. All one-off projects are negotiated seperately at competitive rates. Here are a couple of examples:
Strategic Analysis
Sometimes making a sound decision requires more than a quick review of the situation on the ground. A strategic analysis allows for additional time to be invested to gain intelligence before making a critical decision on entering a new market, or deciding on potential acquisition targets, etc.
Interim Executive
Our team can field an executive on a full time basis for a limited time to allow for a permanent replacement or for the previous executive to return. Allows for a sobatical or extended leave without losing momentum.
Sales/Marketing Program
Organizations that have outgrown their business models may require a program to be created. We develop innovative custom programs for sales and marketing departments.
Are you frustrated with your sales or marketing efforts? Know you could be doing more with social media technology, but don't know where to start?
