Most Marketing Cloud staffing RFPs ask for rates and résumés. That selects a body shop. Ask operating questions instead.

Questions that matter

Who is on-point when a journey breaks on a Saturday?

Are specialists cross-skilled, or do we buy three people for one send?

What is the onboarding clock — weeks or days?

Is there a trial window before invoices lock in?

Can we resize the bench without rewriting the SOW?

Will the same team operate what they implement?

How RHG answers

1-week onboarding. 90-day no-invoice trial. US-based talent. Flexible resize. Cell Ops / Build / Next as the product — not a rate card of strangers.
