Target
Fine Tuned Segmentation Improves Response Rates

Values, goals, personalities, and attitudes are what make people tick, not their demographics. When you understand how your customers view the world and what drives their decisions, your customized messages will add value.

 

Offer something of value and they will respond to ads, offer feedback, promote your brand and provide information about themselves.

 

Supplement your brand through online tutorials on the proper use and extended reach of your product.

 

If you must use demographics, focus beyond demographics. For example, rather than targeting people with income > $100K, target based on net worth, home value, length of ownership and the presence of children, pets, etc.

Irrigation [drip] marketing
Drip Marketing Tip
Use on-demand email marketing to resend newsletters, promotions and important messages to new email addresses that have been acquired after a recent campaign has already been launched.  Why wait until next month when you can begin the drip marketing process as soon as they opt-in?
Email Marketing
Email Marketing Tip
Send auto-response emails to website visitors who request information on various topics.  This cuts down on mundane calls to your contact center and ensures consistency in the information relayed to  customers and prospects.
Marketing Planning
Planning Tip
Online plans enable marketing, sales and support  executives to participate in plan development.  Easy sharing of key elements of the plan with team members fosters alignment and enables feedback. This participative activity is more valuable than the plan itself.

Focus on Prospecting
Sales Scouts Blaze New Trails for Hunters

Top sales pros do not fit the prospector profile.

They focus on prospects that are most likely to close the quickest and don't consistently prospect for new business.
 
Smart companies compensate by adding a scout to the sales team in order to maintain focus on target market sales prospecting.
 
Sales scouts blaze new trails into fertile territory for more effective hunting.  Their profile includes many years of business experience with a propensity to do research and spend time understanding the target audience.  They have a low-key but winning attitude and are naturally motivated to understand each prospect individually and build an early stage relationship that softens up the prospect for the hunter's approach.

 

Recently, we discovered BroadReach Partners, a company that nurtures targeted prospects that do not yet qualify as sales funnel entries so that hunters may focus on the most qualified opportunities without distraction.

INTAgLIO would be pleased to introduce you to BroadReach Partners [Stamford, CT] if you would like to discuss your needs for a sales scout.
