What are your sales goals?
What is your APR (Activity / Productivity / Results) to achieve your goals? What is your
marketing investment to reach you goals?
What does your sales cycle look like? How do your clients decide to do
business with you? Why did they choose you?
Outside - in person sales calls - networking events
("You're In Sales: Get Over It!")
Define Your Target Market
Client events, appreciation/welcome gifts, sampling, loyalty cards
Trade shows, community events & activites
Mailing to both clients and prospects
In-store / 4-walls marketing
(most neglected - or abused piece of real estate)
There's a reason they call it "social"
Notes
Any promotion paid to a 3rd party distribution channel: TV / Radio / Print
/ Billboards / "Promoted Posts" on Social
Partnering with a NFP for a Win/Win/Win
Aligning with cooperative/non-competitive companies which serve your
specific market - not necessarily a leads club
Outside groups where you can be positioned as the expert
