3. Free up key staff to focus on mission-critical projects.

4. Objective viewpoint. Bring a new fresh perspective to your business by outsourcing projects.  Hiring a consultant who has extensive experience in your industry can be a tremendous value to your organization over the long term.
5. Access expertise your team does not possess – Your team may lack experience in a specific area – like social networking or e-mail marketing.  Outsourcing allows you to access that expertise on a temporary basis.
6. Motivate your team – Hiring an outside marketing expertise will certainly motivate your team to do better.  Even though they are hired on temporarily, your staff will still view this as competition – there is always the possibility that they could be replaced by this new talent…
7. Lead a Pilot Program – Don’t use existing resources to manage a new unproven marketing concept.  Hire a consultant to lead the launch of the program and allow your team to continue to focus on the proven money making initiatives.
8. Stay ahead of your competition – Using an experienced consultant can help your leap over your competition by completing a research assignment or keeping track of competitive activities – something your team may not have time to do or time to do it well.
9. Boost Employee Morale Employees who have survived layoffs are grateful to have a job but are very stressed out with the large workloads they have been left with.  Marketing departments have been cut to the bone and stressed employees don’t perform as well.  By alleviating their workload on a temporary basis will encourage higher quality work.
