Growth services are services geared toward one common goal, driving growth and revenue.  For growth services to help businesses reach their revenue goals and objectives, growth services work collaboratively and holistically through strategic planningmarketingsales enablement, communications, and technology. A growth agency is uniquely prepared to handle all these tasks expertly. 

Often, growth services are confused with marketing services.  To understand how growth services drive revenue, let’s evaluate the similarities between marketing and growth. 

Similarities between marketing and growth agencies: 

  • Marketing strategy 
  • Marketing analytics 
  • Marketing training and development 
  • Positioning  
  • Branding 
  • Multi-channel marketing 
  • Marketing ROI 
  • Staffing 
  • Leadership/Team Building 
  • Public Relations 
  • Content Creation 
  • Marketing Technology  
  • Lead Generation 

As you can see, marketing and growth share a lot of the same services.   

However, growth services are also responsible for: 

  • Profitable Growth 
  • Sales Strategies and Execution 
  • Helping Sales and Marketing Work Together 
  • Product Development and Expansion 
  • Strategic Business Planning 
  • Customer Retention and Growth 

To successfully grow as a company, the company must be driven in a growth ecosystem with all parties in the growth ecosystem collaboratively working together to drive growth.  A silo approach does not foster growth.  Buyers are savvier when purchasing products and services.  They can go online and Google options and compare prices, features, and benefits.  Due to the revolutionary change of buyers, the strategy and management of the buyer’s journey cannot and should not be broken up between two different departments.  Marketing and sales must work together. 

Growth services will often include: 

By working with a growth agency that provides growth services, it will not operate in a silo because the key unique selling proposition of utilizing growth services is that the agency will work with leaders in a business to remove the obstacles of growth.  Growth agencies work all leaders because they understand that while they may drive revenue through marketing, sales, communications, and technology, their business must be equipped to handle growth.  Therefore, growth agencies will work with all leadership of a business to drive growth.  Growth agencies KPIs will be centered on sales revenue, but also EBITDA.  Growth services drive revenue growth, but profitability and COGS are not overlooked. 

Who should consider hiring a Growth Services Agency? 

A business that has plateaued but seeks to grow, should consider a growth services agency.  If you have no marketing and sales or have a small team of marketing and salespeople, you could benefit from a growth services agency.   

Here is what a Growth Agency can do for you: 

  • Have the experience to understand what really impacts a company’s growth from both a product and marketing perspective. 
  • Look at the company holistically to understand how to create sustainable growth through, partnerships, pivots, customer service, etc. 
  • Challenge the company’s most senior managers about the direction of the product or service, the revenue model, the company USP, or the problem the company is aiming to solve. 
  • Extract a company vision from or for the CEO. 
  • Have the experience and knowledge to influence the product roadmap. 
  • Understand how to work with engineers and techs. 
  • Initiate new opportunities and acquire new customers. 
  • Nurture, grow, and retain customers. 
  • Practice growth hacking. 
  • Evaluate data and results to create buyer personas, improve revenues, and minimize costs and expenditures. 

A growth agency can help a company move toward a growth culture.  A growth culture is a set of beliefs and organizational mindset focused on helping employees develop their limitless potential.  Companies with a growth mindset believe that skills and abilities can always be improved, and that the greatest purpose of the work employee do is to develop their skills and abilities.  Ultimately, companies with a growth mindset are not afraid of challenges and setbacks.  A growth agency can work with a business’s leaders and teams to help build and foster a growth culture.  As Robert Kiyosaki said, “Successful people don’t fear failure but understand that it’s necessary to learn and grow from.” 

A growth agency will help you to pivot and adapt when changes needs to occur, and a growth agency will inspire and help a business lead the pathway for growth.
