Partners
No one can be expert at everything. This is particularly true in e-commerce, where no one can even know all the moving parts, let alone, be proficient at everything. (Arrows in the Quiver). This brings us to partners. Amazon can hire anyone they want to. You probably can’t. If you try to contemplate the number of skill sets and competencies you would like to have in-house, it can be overwhelming. That leaves you “partnering-up” at a lot of different levels: vendor support teams, independent contractors, part-time help and consultants.
We spend many hours every week staying up-to-date in the evolution of best practices affecting e-commerce strategy and marketing. We never stop interviewing and vetting prospective vendors for our clients. The net result of this process is a list of “trusted resources” that we can recommend to our clients.
Our consultancy is primarily about strategy. Partnering is essentially about tactics. Once your strategy is set, and assuming you can execute (major caveats) the name of the game is a never-ending series of small enhancements. A relentless focus on small improvements is what distinguishes winners from their competitors. There is no silver bullet. The silver bullet, as it were, is the compounding of all the small changes over time. Competition in e-commerce is brutal and getting stronger. The day you stop investing in enhancements, is the day you start ceding market share and customer loyalty to competitors. It is the day you start going out of business.
