The 4 Essential Marketing and Selling Processes

1. Finding

Before you can effectively sell and market your product or service you must know who your target audience is and how to find them:

  • Who do you want to target?
  • Why do you want to target them?
  • What do they want?
  • How will you find them?
  • Where will you find them?

2. Getting

Once you can visualize your target audience you need to align the benefits of your offer with your prospects needs, wants and desires. This message to market alignment must then be communicated effectively to your target market.

  • What are the benefits of your product or service?
  • How/Where are your target prospects currently being served?
  • What are the deficiencies in your competitors offering?
  • What are all the components in your offer?
  • What will be your headline?
  • How will you price your offer?
  • What is your Unique Value Proposition?
  • How will you apply the Marketing Equation?

3. Keeping

Congratulations getting a new prospect into your marketing and selling process. Perhaps you have even made a sale! Now you'll want to shift your focus to keeping your new prospect engaged and ultimately converting your prospect into a customer!

  • Do you have your nurturing process defined?
  • How often will you contact them?
  • What additional value will your prospect need to see?
  • What proof do you have?
  • What questions will your prospect have?
  • Does your prospect know how to buy?

4. Growing 

Congratulations again. Now you have a customer and the opportunity to deepen your relationship and hopefully sell addition products and services.

  • How will your competitors respond?
  • How well did you deliver? Did you exceed expections?
  • When you analyze your delivery where could it have gone better?
  • When all costs were accounted for did you make sufficient profit?
  • What do the service delivery numbers show? Areas for improvement
  • What cross-sell and up-sell opportunities exist
  • Joint venture opportunities?

Within your business there are opportunities for profit improvement in each of these four systems. When we work together one of the first things we'll identify is within which of these processes the biggest return on investment lies and that is where our work will begin.

"My marketing team was doing all the "right" things the experts told us we should be doing and we just weren't seeing the results that my board of directors wanted to see.  I had heard about Scott and his new approach to lead generation marketing and decided to give it a try instead of the canned solution proposed by our big name ad agency. Scott's turn-key approach went exactly as he said it would and produced results that exceeded everyone's expectations. It's like having a new person on my sales team!"
