How can your business take advantage of the many resources available in your industry? When should you keep your services in-house, and when should you outsource? 

According to Ben Landers, small businesses often need to outsource work; that way, the team can stay in their zone of genius. In Ben’s field, most small business owners don’t accurately track their advertising and marketing campaigns. It can be difficult to afford in-house marketing — especially when your employees already wear many hats. That’s why it’s Ben’s mission to provide service companies with cost-effective, outsourced marketing efforts.
