Grow Sales & Profit

Let me tell you..

Leadership & Management

Your business has outgrown its original form. Sales are booming. Tasks are overloaded. The hamster wheel is spinning faster and faster.

Back in the early days, as the Chief Commercial Officer, you could easily manage the business strategy, maintain close relationships with key customers and be a good team leader to your sales and marketing team. You also made sure that your e-commerce business grew as planned. This is the day-to-day life of many SME businesses.

One day you realise that you need help. You need to bring some structure and order to your e-commerce sales. Your challenge is that the business is not yet big enough to justify a full-time director with the experience to manage and develop the business to a higher level. Perhaps you want to expand internationally or develop new areas of business. E-commerce is a cheap and quick way to test whether your plans are sustainable.

This is why you should work with Alvdahl E-commerce Consulting. We will prepare your company for hiring a full-time director. With us as your partner, you’ll get immediate access to experience in growing your e-commerce business. You need expert feedback on how to grow your sales faster and as efficiently as possible.

Unlike an interim director or freelance consultant who works on a project basis, we are hired on a monthly contract basis. This hiring model offers several advantages for companies seeking specialised expertise and leadership on an ongoing basis.

Alvdahl E-commerce Consulting are equipped to handle specific leadership tasks that may be challenging to address within your current organisational structure. In a typical arrangement, they will be available for one or more days per week to work with you, dedicating their full working day to your business. Once the tasks are successfully completed, the contract can be terminated at the end of the month with no notice or commitment.

By choosing a fractional model, you can benefit from significantly reduced costs compared to hiring a full-time employee or hiring a consultant. As payment is made on a monthly basis, in advance, the financial commitment is a fraction of what you would normally invest.

Examples of Fractional Chief Commercial Officer tasks that can be undertaken include the following

• Developing and implementing e-commerce growth strategies.
• Expanding your business into new markets or international territories.
• Optimising conversion rates and improving the customer experience.
• Streamlining e-commerce operations and logistics.
• Conduct market research and competitive analysis.
• Improve digital marketing and advertising campaigns.
• Evaluate and implement e-commerce technology solutions.

However, the best approach is to book a meeting with our team to discuss your specific business needs and explore the most appropriate solution to meet your requirements.

If your e-commerce sales are not progressing as planned, or if you are seeking a more efficient return on your investment, hiring a fractional e-commerce director could be the optimal solution to drive positive change.

Before embarking on the recruitment process, it is vital to agree the specific management tasks that need to be achieved. The primary objective of hiring a fractional director is to fill the gaps that exist within your current leadership team.

Here are some examples of tasks that Alvdahl E-commerce Consulting can take on:

• Develop and implement a comprehensive e-commerce sales strategy tailored to your business objectives.
• Analyse and optimise your sales funnels to increase conversions and revenue generation.
• Improve the overall user experience of your e-commerce platform to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Implement data-driven marketing campaigns, including search engine optimisation (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and email marketing.
• Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify market trends and capitalise on new opportunities.
• Streamline and improve operational processes to maximise efficiency and reduce costs.
• Use analytics and reporting tools to track key performance indicators (KPIs) and make data-driven decisions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align marketing, sales and customer service efforts to deliver a consistent customer experience.
• Evaluate and implement new e-commerce technologies and platforms to improve functionality and scalability.
• Provide leadership, guidance and mentorship to your existing team, encouraging professional growth and development.

These are just a few examples of how we can help your business. To discuss your specific needs and explore how our services can best support your goals, I encourage you to book a meeting.
