Marketing Support

Its important for ABC to work towards creating a good brand image in the market. As this is a fragmented market and every company has very little differentiator, image of the brand will play a key role in generating leads and revenue in mid to long run.

Explore the possibility of unpaid editorial in the news papers. News paper articles provides good word of mouth

Regularly use mailer campaign and Google ad words to generate leads 

ABC can also organize annual event inviting existing and prospective customers along with some top companies which will help in creating a buzz. It will also help in creating a better brand image and word of mouth.

These marketing activities are cost effective and can be done simultaneously. The importance of these stems from the fact that familiarity with brand name plays an important role in generating revenue for the organization and also since ABC provides high quality service to the clients, marketing effects would be much more.

Goals and Objectives

Page 19: Growth Strategies for HR Outsourcing firm - HRO.pdf · strategy for their HR Outsourcing and consulting services in the Indian market • As part of the initial phase of the project,

Defining goals and Objectives

Organization level goal setting

The goals of ABC should be clearly defined because it keeps the employee focused, bring improved performance, keep them motivated and they don’t get into activity trap. It will also help in improving employee level communication with management

Goal setting for  departments or business units

ABC’s goals should be broken down to department and business unit level such as ERP or HRO unit goals, which should be further broken down into months and quarters. These objectives will be reviewed and will help both employees and management will take corrective  action on regular basis to meet objectives.

Goal setting process is an important activity which differentiates a successful company from an unsuccessful one. This will also help the employees to avoid activity trap which means doing the normal activity on a daily basis without having clearly defined goals or driving a car without knowing the destination. Goal setting process will help employee’s become more accountable, it will provide clear direction and sense of urgency to compete and survive, which will help ABC get the best out of their employee.
