Are You Getting Beat by Distributors With Digital Sales Strategies?

Do You Want to Increase Sales and Profits? Of Course You Do!

Ongoing and increasing sales begins with capturing more leads on-line, following up with those leads, and ensuring they see the right sales and marketing collateral at the right time.

YOU can do this. You can compete. You can improve your results. And WE can help you do it!

Take a Look at the Graphic Below

Steps 1 through 4 illustrate the typical lifecycle of a long-term loyal customer and how/where they interact with your digital media.

Now more than ever, it’s time to ensure that every interaction with a prospect or customer, every impression they receive, is on point with meeting his needs and deliberately moving them closer to the next sale.

Customer Lifecycle

This is where digital innovation comes into play! It’s where you can excel by following the Digital Sales Readiness Program below!

The Digital Sales & Marketing Readiness Program™ for Innovative Distributors

A Digital Sales & Marketing Solution That Builds and Strengthens Your Position in the Market, Preparing You for the Future of Digital Innovation for Many Years to Come

Align Sales and Marketing Team

Create a Clear Direction for Your Sales & Marketing Teams

Get your Sales & Marketing Teams working together toward a common goal — more sales!

Step 1 of The Digital Sales & Marketing Readiness Program™ has us working shoulder-to-shoulder with your VP of Sales and Marketing on a plan of action that we will put together for you and carry out successfully.

Here’s how that’s done!

Create Buyer Personas

Fully Understand Your Customers and Their Needs

In Step 2,  we’ll work with your salespeople and other internal resources to create buyer personas for each of your customer segments, identifying their goals, struggles, and pain points. Together we’ll create a plan to leverage that information in order to create hard-hitting, on-point sales and marketing messaging that speaks directly to each of your audience segments.

Our proprietary Buyer Persona Worksheets for Distributors™ will reveal information about your audience that you’ll wish you knew years ago!

Here’s how that’s done!

Content Creation for content marketing

Communicate the Value You Offer to Your Customers

Are your customers and prospects aware of how good you are at what you do and how valuable a partnership with your company can be?

In Step 3, we’ll work on how you’ll communicate with your customers and what you’ll tell them about your capabilities and willingness to serve them well.

You’ll show them you’re a company who is always interested in meeting their needs over yours. The result of this step? Your customers will think they cannot run their businesses without you!

Here’s how that’s done!

Marketing Automation

Choose Your Marketing Automation System

In Step 4 we will help you decide what technology you need to get your messaging shared.

We will usher you through the research and decision-making process and ensure you make the choices that are best for your company.

Based on the solutions you’d like to promote, and the audience segments you’d like to target, we’ll create the sales funnels and workflows to go with your new system.   

Here’s how that’s done!

Lead capture, nurture, convert

Capture, Nurture and Convert Your Leads Into Sales

In Step 5, we introduce you to Lead Scoring and Tracking so that you can measure and determine the difference between a Marketing-qualified Lead (MQL) and a Sales-qualified Lead (SQL).  

Your Sales and Marketing teams will walk away from this step knowing how to measure the viability of each lead and when the lead gets passed over to Sales for closing.

Here’s how that’s done!

Susan Merlo

Let me get right to the point. You’re an expert in your business, and I’m an expert in mine. 

I’ve worked with a LOT of distributors. Most distributors, probably like yourself, have never needed or wanted any sort of marketing. Most considered marketing to be a luxury. And, that’s understandable! The typical distribution business relied heavily on their salespeople and their salespeople’s relationships.

But times have changed, and to ensure your business continues to thrive, it’s important to put the systems in place that discover, generate, nurture, and convert quality leads to keep your salespeople going. Some consider this a Marketing function, others consider it a function of Inside Sales. Regardless, these steps are crucial to your Sales function and the future of your business.

Because of the Internet and other threats to your business, your competitive edge depends on the quality and quantity of the solutions and services you offer. But, you’ve got to get the word out to those who need you, and stop the cold-calling … because no one is answering their phones.

The Digital Sales & Marketing Readiness Program™ for Innovative Distributors positions you so that you can 1) communicate your value and generate quality leads ‘en masse,’ and 2) attract prospects and customers who are actively looking for the services and solutions you deliver.

In other words, your salespeople can make cold calls and knock on doors, or they can be closing deals with the companies who learn about you and call you because they want what you offer.

Rather than struggle alone with decisions about what to change, where to invest, and what will work, bring in a team to support you. Together, we will discover the answers you need and teach you and your team to do it on your own. Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job so you can be self-sufficient!

I think you’ll find it easy to trust me. You’ll learn, immediately, that my interest lies in your success and the ongoing success of your business.
