This guide explores and explains how to harness the power of your data and turn your CRM into a revenue-generating growth machine.
Your company’s image is its brand, and so the brand becomes the embodiment of the features and benefits of the company itself. To lay a strong foundation communicating your company’s value proposition internally and externally, you must ensure your brand foundation is solidly in place. In fact, according to Forbes, consistent brand presentation across all platforms increases revenue by up to 23%. By defining the key elements supporting your brand you can ensure your brand is well-positioned from others in the market.
As I recap and ponder last year, I thought about memorable marketing trends and game changers. The Mayweather vs. McGregor fight came to mind as a significant marketing moment. I was one of the millions of people who purchased the fight on pay-per-view. Initially, I expected that Conor McGregor would disqualify himself by doing some sort of Mike Tyson antic, not necessarily bite his opponent’s ear off, but maybe kick Floyd Mayweather in the head. Granted, I did buy the fight for the hype and entertainment with the understanding that I was losing money. However, what I did not expect is the value I received in this epic bout. What I bought was a strategic, organized, marketing powerhouse that satisfied the marketer in me.
Getting leads today isn’t difficult; however, getting targeted and qualified leads is a different story. That’s because no lead is created equal; every company, and each team within those companies, defines a qualified lead differently. Since there are no boilerplate answers when it comes to B2B lead generation, companies have to get creative and be specific with their goals.
In order to build a better customer profile, you need a clear definition of your target customer. This may seem obvious to some businesses, but the reality is, it’s an overlooked aspect of B2B lead generation and building your business in general.
Putting together a better customer profile will not only give your business stability, it will also provide a better engagement and return to help the bottom line. But building your customer profile the wrong way can have negative long-term and short-term consequences. While you may have an ideal customer profile on paper from a financial standpoint, the best customer profile may come from other measurables you can’t find on a financial statement. These benchmarks could also provide more sales lead generation in the future, which will lead to more business and a stronger customer base.
