You may have heard it from many sources, or you may have just learned about it yesterday, but inbound *is* the future of marketing. Even so, for the average business owner and marketing director, the future is not here yet, and there's just too much to do today to learn a whole new concept, process, and tool in order to keep up. Are you feeling like you have no choice? To enter the world of inbound do you ***have to*** hire a full-time inbound marketing manager? No, there is another choice and it can save you A LOT of money!

Have you ever considered outsourcing the work to an inbound marketing agency instead? Not to toot our own horn, but you should seriously consider the option.

We'll use ourselves as an example:

[Responsive Inbound Marketing](https://www.responsiveinboundmarketing.com/) is a full-service inbound marketing consulting company that can handle all of your inbound needs, from website service and SEO to content creation and reporting, for a fraction of the price of hiring a full-time marketing manager. Not only do all of our packages cost significantly less than the average full-time marketing manager, but they allow you to save up to $2,000 in fees when joining the HubSpot Platform, with which we partner. It doesn't stop there. When you use Responsive Inbound Marketing's services instead of hiring someone full time, you can save over **$60,000.00** a year!

 In fact, we wrote a whole white paper on the subject! If you might want to free up your marketing budget and consider the differences between hiring a marketing manager in-house vs an agency download the white paper:
