How Can We Help?
Is This Your Situation?
- Sales reps can’t get to qualified buyers (fewer returned calls, cold-calling isn’t
working and very expensive).
- Marketing is disconnected from the selling process. It doesn’t link
you to your best prospects.
- Your partners aren’t leading
with your products or creating net new
opportunities - they’re order-takers.
- Need to generate more leads so Sales Reps can close more deals.
No matter what’s going on in your market, chances are the pie
isn’t getting any bigger. At least not for the foreseeable
future. Deals are fewer and farther between. And your bigger
competitors are coming out of the woodwork, trying to reach into
your business base.
I’m not telling you anything you don’t know.
What’s Changed?
It’s not just the economy. It’s Google and
the entire selling process.
1.4 million is the number of searches conducted every minute.
60% of these searches go through Google. (as of December 2007, com Score’s Search study of
Internet statistics show Google’s share growing 62.4 percent!)
B2B Buyers make an Internet search their first step in the
process of finding new suppliers and vendors
-- and the B2B
search engine of choice? 75% use
Google. Enquiro Business to
Business Survey, 2007
Google is now the main artery between a qualified Prospect and
your small business.
You might still be hanging onto the same formula for generating
new business I learned when I started my career at Intel in
1979. It went like this:
100 dials on the phone = 20 meetings = 10 proposals = 1 or 2
deals
Today, Selling & Buying are very different.
No longer a news flash, it’s much more
difficult for a Sales Rep to cold-call their way to a
meeting. And e-mail? If you're not skilled at
writing emails that can read and responded to, you are quickly
marked as a spammer.
Buyers simply don’t want to see you.
Why? Because the Internet has created such a free flow of
information, Buyers no longer need to talk with a Sales Rep to
get what they need to do their job. Today, Buyers have all the
leverage. For the early steps in the buying cycle where needs
are uncovered and opportunities are explored, a Sales Rep has
been replaced by an anonymous Google search.
But many B2B marketing and sales people continue
to sell and market like it still was 1979. Trying to survive
only on the power of personal referrals and how much territory
their Sales Reps can drive (or fly).
Add to this: A tightening economy and bigger competitors with
deeper wallets and you’ve got reason for concern!
Global 2000 B2B firms are leading the way
Global 2000 are taking full-advantage of their heft and balance
sheet to use the current market conditions to make huge
investments into automating their marketing and selling
“systems.”
It doesn’t matter if you’re selling software, hardware, office telecommunications systems, ball
bearings or designer thumbtacks, B2B Sales and Marketing is in
high-gear for sweeping change and the Global 2000 are leading
the way.
Why are big companies doing this?
Simple: Because they must. They’re suffering with the
same escalating selling costs you are. Salaries, T&E, training,
insurance benefits. And, they recognize Buyers now have all the
leverage.
It’s called…Disruptive Change.
I invite you to look up the latest Gartner report on
Multichannel Campaign Management (MCM). MCM is like
SalesForce.com on steroids. MCM is about automating all the
complex selling steps and follow-up procedures into the
business logic of a marketing system—giving you a distinct sales advantage.
The good news is there's still time to
build a demand generation system that will
increase lead flow and reduce the cost of sales. We call
it our Automated Marketing Platform. And rather than trying to
figure it out on your own, we provide the B2B marketing expertise to help you create your own Automated Demand Generation System.

How We Do It
Looking for a Better Way...
Finding qualified sales reps and channel partners is NOT
getting any easier. Sales costs are up and the challenge of
getting in to see new Prospects is real.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, however, let’s agree on
the problem we’re trying to solve by answering this
question…
What IS the Objective of B2B Marketing?
Let me ask you a question: “When your Sales Reps have the
opportunity to meet with a qualified decision-maker, how
often do they win the business?”
What would your answer be?
After posing this question to literally thousands of people,
I have yet to have one single individual give me a
percentage below 50%. The most common answer is 70%.
That means, 7 out of 10 times, you eventually win the
businesses once you meet with a qualified decision-maker?
Then we should ask ourselves this question: So why
aren’t you getting in front of more qualified decision
makers and being given consideration?
The main problem isn’t what you do in the meeting.
The problem is what you and your entire Sales and Marketing
Team must do to get more meetings with qualified
decision-makers. Right?
Given that you are still reading this web page right now,
I’m going to assume you are not getting enough
meetings or are unhappy with your companies ability to
generate quality leads.
The #1 Objective of B2B Marketing is to Create More
Opportunities to
Meet with Qualified Decision-Makers.
The #1 Objective of ATS Marketing is to show
you how to build
an Automated Demand Generation System that creates more
opportunities for sales to meet with Qualified
Decision-Makers.
The reasons you will ultimately invest in ATS...
The Power of Unbiased, Third-Party Experts…
And The Lack of Available Talent
When companies have a marketing problem like trying to
figure out how to create more opportunities to meet with
qualified decision-makers, they bring in highly-paid
experts. They might hire someone like Stephen Covey (7
Habits) or bring in the A-Team from McKinsey or Bain.
But, for most sales teams or companies that isn't an option.
There’s a real shortage of true (B2B)
Demand Generation experts who are willing and capable of
helping you build a marketing system tailored to your unique
needs and budget.
The advantage of an unbiased, third-party expert’s advice is
undeniable—no argument there. However, if you have tried to
find a B2B marketing consultant to help you drive top-line
revenue, you already know the challenges.
In reality, most
are consumer/retail marketing “suits” masquerading as B2B
Marketers. Or worse—have ZERO first-hand sales experience.
And for those with sales experience, their selling was for a
name-brand corporation with a gigantic marketing budget.
This is why folks like you and me have to find other
alternatives for B2B education—for the strategies that
create more opportunities to sit across the table with a
qualified decision-maker.
This doesn’t mean there aren’t any good B2B marketing
consultants out there. The reality is there ARE good
consultants—several joined with us to create AMP. But
with millions of B2B businesses —there simply are just too few to go
around.
To effectively service such a large market, our business
model utilizes the Internet, e-mail, tele-seminars and other
virtual replacements for face-to-face meeting time.
While never a true substitute for the real thing, the
cost-efficiency of virtual B2B marketing training is obvious
(and eco-friendly!). We believe it’s how businesses
can get the strategic marketing advice they need to run
their business, while making
it affordable.
What I recommend you do next is
schedule a no hassle, zero obligation, exploratory meeting
to discuss your revenue generation needs. There are
several ways to do this.
You can call us 877-449-1900. Send a
