Outside Looking In Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Outside Looking In (OLI) marketing consulting group special?

Outside Looking In consulting grew out of a successful marketing seminar series of the same title: Outside Looking In: A Marketing Event that has been presented to audiences TAG Technical Marketing Association, AeA, and GA State University J. Mack Robinson College of Business. Emil Walcek, Bob Scaringe, and Bruce Cotterman, principals in the group, not only have impressive business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing backgrounds and experience that extends beyond the Atlanta, GA area to International markets, but each has a unique ability to hone in on issues and solutions with the highest likelihood of ROI.

At what point should I take OLI up on your consulting offer?

Before it's too late. Seriously. A logical approach to growing a business and winning market share can save a business. Another point of view may confirm or negate a marketer's own ideas. And the earlier in the marketing planning process this can occur, the better the chances for success. You owe it to your company and your career to take advantage of this unique introductory consulting offer provided by OLI to remove doubt, confirm suspicions, or implement a new plan.

How do I know if I have marketing issues that may be resolved with outside help?

Think of OLI as marketing insurance. Whether managers realize it or not, stakes are generally high for most business-to-business marketing efforts... high enough to limit exposure to risk of failure. In addition to the consequences of a failed campaign and wasted funds - market perceptions, loss of competitive advantage and confused customers suffer. Often, a simple analysis of customers, prospects, even internal and channel sales personnel will point to effective marketing options, and how to implement them for the best return. Marketing surveys, and a neutral point of view, are best rendered by outside, third party providers like OLI. The question is: can you really afford NOT to engage OLI?
