Growth strategy with a holistic approach lays the groundwork for future business success. It ensures that everything you're doing in the company to grow will compliment each other and evolve as you want and expect. The best growth strategy is one that is constantly improving, so it's important to hire someone adaptable who can synthesise data to continually improve the company's KPIs.
A great growth strategist is able to bring to a company:
- analytics, reporting and troubleshooting,
- strategic directions across all channels,
- experimentation and identification of new opportunities,
- conversion rate optimisation,
- people, resource and agency management,
- strategy and planning.
Interestingly, there is no formal training for a growth strategist, so examining their past experience and ways of working is extra important when considering a new freelance hire for this particular role.
Begin by defining smaller and bigger SMART goals, which a freelancer will do with guidance from the company as these could already be available. Then a Growth Strategist will develop ways of supporting these goals. Selecting the correct tools and channels and implementing relevant strategies is the reason a Growth Strategist is so valuable. Analysing the results after following a particular strategy/strategies will allow your Growth Strategist to assess what worked and what didn't, allowing them to optimise the strategy and move forward. This is when new SMART goals can be executed and the growth and development of your company is properly looked after.
