Marketing as Leadership

 

If you stopped sending marketing communications,
would anyone miss them?

Is your sales force happy with the quality of prospects you're handing over?

Do customers think of your company first when they have a problem you can solve?

If the answer to the above questions is "no," do you want to change that?

You work hard to build brand awareness with industry leaders, customers and prospects, as well as those inside your company. Yet marketing isn't thought of as delivering results that impact revenues, shorten sales cycles or as the key driver of customer acquisition.

"...only about one-third of the sales managers and sales reps in B-to-B companies regard marketing as very valuable..." Marketing Champions: Practical Strategies for Improving Marketing's Power, Influence, and Business Impact, Young, Weiss, Stewart, 2006

Marketing has tremendous scope, and the challenges are mounting in today's complex B2B environments. The more savvy your prospects become, the harder it is to engage them. They don't want to be sold, they want to be educated. They want results and they want to know they're going to get the right ones if they work with you.

It's time for marketing to reinvent themselves as a critical strategic component in driving the momentum of company success. To do that, marketing must change the perception that they're only useful as the bullhorn or "fluff" generators of the company.

Choosing to reinvent marketing is a commitment. You don’t decide to try it and then abandon it after a few attempts. Your company is a good candidate if you want to:

  • Prove marketing's impact on revenues.
  • Build active relationships to streamline buying cycles.
  • Be the “go-to” company for “X” solutions. (and you know what “X” is)
  • Build momentum further within the sales pipeline.
  • Focus outside-in.
  • Innovate and operate at the edge of the "norm."

If you have a CRM and/or Marketing Automation system in place, you have the foundation infrastructure and data we need. Marketing Interactions will help you take advantage of that investment to increase momentum that leads to downstream revenues. Bring marketing the respect it deserves within your organization.

If you're ready to move to the next level of marketing effectiveness, let's talk about what's possible.

Influence Ripple
"A ripple is formed each time content is distributed. Many small ripples can lead to larger ones. Both have value. Larger ripples are fewer in number but greater in reach. Smaller ripples can be greater in number but more targeted."
