Most companies have a website, do some marketing, and have sales activity. BUT, these are usually seen as completely separate. A Business development person might say ‘I have nothing to do with the website’. WHY? The only reason to have a website should be to generate leads and sales. It’s no longer about spending some money on things you ‘think’ you need. It’s about seeing sales, marketing, website, trade shows, contacts lists etc etc etc as one thing. It’s about seeing all of this together to track revenue from each piece of activity to achieve your goals. This is why we’re a Business Growth Agency.
The Tree Group is a business growth agency that helps Automotive companies in the UK with at least 10 people and a desire to grow by 15% in the next 18 months through lead generation, customer acquisition, and client engagement.
We combine 50 years of Automotive experience with an Inbound approach to sales and marketing and the HubSpot Growth Stack to give you a competitive advantage and so you know the ROI from all sales and marketing activity. We strive for targets, measure results, and help you continuously improve over time.
We’re actively helping our clients sell in Automotive, with a specialism in helping our clients sell their products and services to vehicle manufacturers, parts distributors and retailers, and consumers. We’ve built up a contacts database of over 10,000 decision makers in Automotive, Motorsport, and Defence, and we’ve helped our clients generate 133 net new customers.
We get your sales team setup and selling within 1 month using our HubSpot CRM implementation service. We know this works because we’re already actively working with Automotive companies. Then we launch your first marketing campaign within 90 days. After that, it’s about taking an agile approach to review, recommend, and improve every month.
Before we start working together, we get a sense of you. We want to work with good people and companies who we can help in new and unique ways, who are open to change, and want to learn things they didn’t know. Let's also be really honest; retaining clients is far more profitable than losing them. We consider that Value = Retention. And the benefit to you, and the difference between our Business Growth approach and companies that only provide sales or marketing or content or websites is; Everything we do is about strategy, tactics, and proof of results.
Well, first, we are specialists in Automotive so we know the market. We see your sales, marketing, and website as one thing and that’s how we can focus on generating awareness with your Ideal customers, attracting them to your website, converting website traffic into leads, nurturing those leads to give them reason why you over your competitors so they’re ready for your sales team, then helping your sales team win and retain new customers.
