outsourcing model
You would like to start an e-commerce expansion but don’t know where to start.
So you start your search on your web browser. Most of the search terms lead you to E-commerce Agencies.
After an initial selection and a few conversations, you already know what to expect.
Millions of gold coins, expansion in a short period of time, relaxation and drinks with a palm tree right after signing the contract with your dream agency.
And then…a month passes, a quarter, another and another and not much actually happens.
Sound familiar? There are plenty of stories like this. This is because of how the agency model is structured and, in this case, the e-commerce agency.
Say enough of that!
Opt for something different.

Forms of teams

Advantages

- Shared teams are just as effective as dedicated teams
- Immediate access to specialists
- Dedicated project leader

A few words about building e-commerce internally.
Very often, building a team internally is more difficult and more expensive.
Why is this?
Very often, as entrepreneurs, we do not look at cooperation with external companies holistically.
And we want to build teams internally within our own companies at all costs.
But building involves recruitment, post-recruitment with implementation, laying out processes and managing the team. All this costs money. Additionally, if we don’t know e-commerce then it will be very difficult to bring the right people into our company. And e-commerce specialists are very highly valued.
Therefore, choosing an external company like LetsPRO will result in:
- You don’t have to recruit or worry about unsuccessful recruitment
- You get immediate access to specialists without having to wait
- We do not have to manage a team, we simply delegate tasks to an external company
- We save money by using b2b billing with an external company
- We save time running the team and invest it in something else.
