Companies today are facing a tsunami of change. The rapid evolution of AI technology, acceleration of go-to-market strategies, and demand for cost-saving solutions are all affecting how businesses operate. Generative AI applications like ChatGPT and DALL-E 3 are offering many benefits, while also impacting workplace dynamics through restructuring, layoffs, and job role changes.
Forward-thinking Global Companies, Language Service Providers (LSPs), and Technology Providers are scrutinizing their strategies and increasingly considering outsourcing. They are finding that outsourced solutions enhance their operations by elevating efficiencies, offering specialized expertise, and growing their bottom line.
Among the many outsourcing options available, two stand out from the crowd:
- Go-to-market support through Sales as a Service
- The integration of AI into core business processes
Let’s take a closer look at these outsourced solutions and how they can support the growth of your business.
The Changing Business Landscape
Global Companies, LSPs, and Technology Providers face a dual challenge of integrating cutting-edge AI into their operations while simultaneously identifying new avenues for growth.
AI has the potential to revolutionize businesses but integrating it into daily operations can be complex. How do you identify the right solution, then find the time to vet it and implement it? How can you determine what the ROI will be for this investment? Does your organization have the right staff to support AI? Before you start seeing the benefits from AI, there are a lot of questions to answer.
For those seeking expansion, new technology initiatives must be balanced with the practicalities of finding new revenue streams in an increasingly competitive market.
Common approaches often include opening a sales office in a new market or identifying new sources of revenue within existing accounts, but neither option is a guarantee of success.
External Expertise Offers a Competitive Edge
The dynamic nature of the language industry and the current pace of AI advancement requires agile and adaptable solutions, which are often beyond the expertise and capacity of internal teams. Many technology initiatives tend to fizzle out due to the substantial time investment required to evaluate and vet different solutions.
Identifying new sources of revenue can be similarly difficult. In-house teams may not have the bandwidth or experience to navigate new opportunities with existing customers. New market expansion can easily feel overwhelming when faced with the legal, financial, and logistical realities of opening a new office and hiring a sales team in a different country.
An outsourced team of experts who provide deep partnering can be the answer that will move the needle for your organization.
Sales as a Service and AI: New Approaches to Global Growth
Pioneered by Group-Q, Sales as a Service offers agile solutioning and creative business development with top-tier supply chains for translation and localization production.
Unlike traditional models where sales efforts are entirely managed within the organization, Sales as a Service provides an experienced global team that works alongside your sales and account management teams. Group-Q’s approach is to focus on existing client portfolios to identify quality opportunities that drive short-cycle sales revenue growth.
Group-Q’s team possesses over 20 years of experience partnering with well-known global enterprise and localization companies. The team’s approach starts by reviewing your processes and technologies to develop bespoke programs that will enhance your offerings and deliver increased revenue.
The Sales as a Service model also supports Global Companies, LSPs, and Technology Providers who want to grow their business in the US market. This model is especially useful for firms that may lack:
- In-depth local market knowledge
- Resources to build and sustain an in-country sales force
- Skills to strategize with customers and identify new revenue streams
Instead of hiring a team of US-based sales reps, Group-Q simplifies the process by representing you as your local team, allowing you to avoid the complexities of US labor laws and get right down to business.
