Overview

The HR outsourcing industry has seen significant growth in recent years due to the increasing need for businesses to outsource non-core functions. By outsourcing HR functions such as recruitment, payroll management, and compliance, businesses can save time and resources while also accessing specialized expertise. However, with the growth of the industry has come increased competition, making it challenging for companies like HRO to acquire new clients and expand their services.

HRO encountered difficulties when attempting to spread its activities to non-metropolitan Indian cities despite its success in Mumbai. Due to the presence of established competitors in these industries, HRO struggled to win over new customers. It was challenging for HRO to gain a foothold in these markets since the clients that these competitors had already attracted were unresponsive to their meeting invitations. Also, HRO found it challenging to forge connections with prospective customers due to a lack of familiarity with the local market and culture. HRO also faced considerable difficulties in attracting new customers when it sought to expand its services in non-metropolitan cities. In these markets, the competition was already strong, so HRO needed to find a strategy to set itself apart. HRO's goals to expand were in jeopardy without a strong lead generating and sales strategy.


Understanding the Challenges Ahead

The difficulties that businesses like HRO encounter are expanding along with the HR outsourcing market in India. Although being successful in offering over 200 clients high-quality HR recruitment and management services, the business knew that growing to non-metropolitan cities would call for a different strategy.

HRO encountered a problem that many businesses in this industry face after the opening of new offices in Hyderabad, Indore, and Jaipur: competition. They discovered that in these cities, their rivals had already made a significant impact, making it challenging for HRO to stand out and attract potential clients. The clients that their rivals had already gained were unresponsive to HRO's requests for meetings, which made the sales process even more challenging.

The new sales teams, which usually had 12 or more members, found that finding new clients was more difficult than they had anticipated once they began to work. They had trouble differentiating themselves from other HR outsourcing businesses because they ran into resistance, apathy, and mistrust from potential clients. The group realized they needed to develop a unique strategy in order to properly market their services and set themselves out from the competitors.

It was clear that HRO needed to take a more targeted and analytical approach to their lead generation and sales processes. It was at this juncture in their expansion they contacted Clicks and Sales for our services in digital marketing and lead generation. By working together, HRO was able to overcome their challenges and successfully acquire new clients in non-metropolitan cities.

Developing a Strategic Action Plan for HRO

HRO sought the advice of C&S to improve its lead generation and sales process. C&S performed a thorough assessment of HRO's lead generation and sales process as part of the engagement, which allowed us to pinpoint areas that needed improvement.

C&S thoroughly investigated HRO's rivals and found opportunities for HRO to outperform them. Based on this analysis, C&S created E-Books for businesses that concentrated on HR and PF compliance. The HRO web portal, which was advertised to a particular target market of businesses that were likely to profit from HRO's services, made these E-Books accessible for download. In the target market, this increased recognition of the HRO brand. This created brand awareness and recall of HRO in the target segment. Subsequently, C&S employed remarketing tactics to entice potential customers to book an online demo of HRO's attendance panel.

During this phase, C&S analyzed the following key areas:
