Often, as companies grow, they have to take incremental steps to growing their team. Whether they are hiring for ground-level work or executive leadership, it is often a slow and painful process. Yet, It can be costly and risky to hire before you need a full-time team member. But, if you do not — you risk overworking your current staff which leads to turnover and costly mistakes. Less obvious, but maybe more significant, is the lost potential. By asking someone to perform a job outside of their skill level, you could be leaving a lot of value on the table. This is why the traditional approach to growth is not an effective method for businesses.
A consultancy service helps navigate around these roadblocks. They add benefit by providing an experienced member to your team at a fraction of the cost and without the long-term commitment of a full-time hire. You may even gain a long-term partner to help coach your business throughout the future.
How Pellasota Can Help You
Pellasota, as a consultancy service, aims to help fast-growing food and agriculture businesses. First, we determine if our value is a good fit for their circumstances. We won’t enter into a partnership unless everyone is confident it is the best option on the table.
If there is a mutually agreed upon need and benefit, then we determine the scope of work together. Some companies need broad help, while others need a more focused approach — often in the form of a single project. By listening to the partner, sharing our food and ag industry experience and collaborating on a solution, we are able to create a bespoke plan. Finally, our team executes on the plan. For example, this can look like taking on team roles as de facto members of the company. Or, we can work side-by-side with the team members and offer support on projects as needed.
Whatever the situation, Pellasota Consulting believes that it is time to adapt. The traditional hiring and team building process is a model that should be left in the past. We are excited to listen to your needs and help propel your company’s growth to new heights.
