You still need the same things

• Lead generation
• Customer acquisition
• Client engagement
• Competitive advantage

But, what you’ve always done isn’t regularly attracting new clients, and you can’t rely on word of mouth anymore...

Buyers are taking control. They're tuning out old-school marketing and sales tactics that are impersonal and interruptive. These figures speak for themselves:

• 1.62% cold call conversion rate!
• 200 Million numbers on the Do Not Call List
• 44% of direct mail is never opened
• 86% of people skip TV commercials

And there might be signs that you could benefit from improving your sales and marketing performance...

1. Just be using Outlook and Excel to manage, track, and forecast
2. Using different systems like MailChimp, nothing is connected, and this means you can’t track ROI
3. Sales are going well, but you’ve never spent time understanding why your Ideal customers choose you
4. Does your sales team have a lead qualification framework to they win better customers and sales?
5. Do you see marketing as just publicity or do you link marketing activity to your revenue goal?
6. Do you publish content that presents your company as a‘thought leader’?
7. Do you see your website as part of your sales team, generating leads and helping to win customers?
8. Is your business lacking a defined and consultative sales process?
9. Does your sales team struggle to connect with leads, respond quickly, and engage with leads at the right time?
10. Is it easy to track and monitor all sales and marketing activity so you improve based on facts?
