Not long ago words like analytics, social media, lead nurturing and content marketing were rarely used when talking about sales. Are you trying to develop a business the same way you did five years ago? If so, it’s time to adjust your sales strategy because the fundamentals of strategic selling have changed. Today your Website, Social Media, Search Engine Marketing, Email Marketing, and Content integration are at the foundation of great sales and marketing plans. We’ll show you how to generate more revenue by building a fresh sales and marketing strategy using the new media and communication tools of today.
Think about it. Is your sales strategy built for today or are you still selling and marketing as you did in the year 2007 or before? Do you have the right type of people in your organization to sell today?… Is your marketing cutting edge?… Do your customers talk about how great you are?… Have you given them a platform to share those feelings about you with others?… Do you have the right tools to get people to respond and recommend you?
As shown in the below pictures… the processes of sales and marketing have gone through enormous change over the last decade. We used to fill our traditional sales funnel with as many new names as possible by cold calling and other antiquated ways of generating leads. Today, successful companies create interactive websites and online initiatives that share valuable content with prospects and customers. These companies understand how to communicate with customers and prospects online as well as face-to-face. They are getting leads through Social Media, referrals from past and prospective customers and they have figured out how to create word of mouth buzz for their product or services.
There was a time when you could market with only TV, Radio or Print and people would respond to your message and buy. Today you might still use traditional media but in order to compete, you must do more. People buy differently today…they do research, ask questions, research more, ask for recommendations, research more and then buy.
Are you set up to market and sell that way today? As the above funnels show, today’s great companies grow online through Word of Mouth Marketing and Social Media. The model has changed and we can show you how to adapt. We will show you how to build your business by becoming partners with your customers, vendors, and prospects. We work with companies to Bridge The Gap between old antiquated sales plans and today’s new social media and marketing tools.
If you are not selling and marketing with today’s new media tools you will eventually be forced to compete only on price and that’s not good for any business. Think about it, as recently as seven years ago social media didn’t exist. Facebook was launched in 2004, LinkedIn in 2003, YouTube in 2005 and Twitter in 2006.
