MARKETING & SALES SHOULDN'T BE
THAT HARD TO DO
- You've invested a lot of time and resources in your marketing but are disappointed with the results.
- You have no structure to your marketing processes, it's not repeatable.
- Your website isn't generating quality leads.
- You have not clearly identified your competitive differences vs. your competitors so you struggle to describe your unique attributes to prospects.
- You’re getting some leads from your website, but you struggle to capture sales-qualified leads.
- You are unclear as to who your best customers are or how to attract more of them.
- You lack quality content to attract quality leads.
- Your website, social media campaigns, and email marketing efforts are disconnected. You struggle to create a unified process.
ENGAGE YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
During the first phase of our process, the engagement phase, we define your customers, your brand story, and your competitive advantages. These three elements form the building blocks for the successful growth that follows.
CONVERT PROSPECTS INTO CUSTOMERS
The convert phase is the second step of our process. We define the journey your buyers take, then make sure they find you when they set out in search of solutions. We make sure you have lead magnets to attract prospects. And we make sure that once those prospects visit your website, the site is sales enablement ready to convert those prospects to customers.
SCALE YOUR PROCESS FOR GROWTH
In the final phase of our process, we focus on implementing an ultimate growth plan for client success. The scale phase is when the earlier building blocks are put into maximum action. Everything here is focused on growth -- growing web traffic, growing leads, growing conversions, and growing sales.
OUR APPROACH ENSURES YOUR SUCCESS
Our proven marketing process is your path to greatness. Our logical progression of strategy and tactics ensures you end up with marketing and sales systems that deliver results. At Inbound 281, we follow three stages along our path to growth: Engage, Convert, and Scale.
ENGAGE
-
Customer Development
The first thing we do is define your customers. We call these Personas. Personas are realistic depictions of your customer. We capture everything about them – their business wants and needs, their challenges, their decision-making criteria, and the best ways to connect with them. Personas ensure your sales and marketing efforts stay centered around the actual needs of your customers.
-
Brand Narrative
A brand narrative defines the essence of a company – who they are, why they are in business. We work closely with you to develop a narrative that captures exactly what makes you unique in the eyes of customers.
-
Competitive Advantage
Competitive advantages are what distinguish you from others in your industry. These real-world fundamental advantages become the cornerstone for sales and marketing campaigns.
CONVERT
-
Buyer's Journey
All buyers go through a predictable sequence of events when making a purchase, from first becoming aware they have a need to researching solutions to making a purchase decision. We document the steps your buyers take along this journey, then create content to ensure you are top-of-mind when buyers make that final decision.
-
Growth Website
In the digital age, your website needs to be your best salesperson. We assess your site’s performance then work with you to optimize the site for lead capture and sales conversion.
-
Lead Magnets
Lead magnets are things like ebooks, case studies and whitepapers that prospects download as part of their buyer’s journey. We help you create lead magnets that buyers will want to download.
SCALE
-
Growth-Driven Design
Growth-drive design is an efficient and productive method of designing and developing a website. GDD websites evolve through continuous improvement, resulting in a measurable, high-performing website.
-
Growth Marketing
The growth marketing phase pulls together all the previous efforts to create an optimized, efficient, multi-channel marketing machine. At this stage, your marketing channels are clicking on all cylinders.
-
Growth Leader
The growth leader phase uses continuous improvement to fine-tune your sales and marketing efforts. This is the stage where your marketing further separates you from the pack and you achieve market dominance.
HERE’S WHAT OUR PROVEN PROCESS CAN HELP YOU GET IN THE END
Our step-by-step system removes the guesswork of building a successful lead generation machine. Our path to growth is easy to implement and guaranteed to succeed. We guide you every step of the way, as we’ve done for many very happy clients. At the end of our process, here’s what you get:
