Today we have our Magnetic Marketing Fast Implementation Bootcamp happening where we teach members the difference between creating Marketing Assets and “Doing Marketing.”
Earlier this week, I was working with a private client here in Green Bay. He has a fairly boring business, software for manufacturers to help them get the absolute most out of their internal resources.
He also has a VERY targeted audience as this software only works with one other software system commonly used by manufacturers to run everything from purchase orders to the loading dock and out the door to the client.
In his case, he’s similar to our Advantage|ForbesBooks business. High transaction value, which allows more money to be invested to acquire clients. He came to me frustrated because his marketing team wasn’t creating enough leads and, as a results, not as many sales as he’d have liked.
Now he’s very successful, but knew something wasn’t right.
We began by asking many questions, understanding the sales process, I interviewed him for a few hours, then his sales team, I visited the office and quizzed some of their team members. Asking about pain points that users of the software want solved.
This week we shot videos for a few hours that will now be put into a sophisticated system.
What’s it going to look like:
- Lead Generation Ads, targeted to our ideal software users
- They request our Shock & Awe Package
- We have a robust series of emails and mail driving to demos
- An outbound sales team can now follow-up on people who’ve requested information rather than cold calling.
This will be an asset.
But it took time to create.
This isn’t flip on your iPhone and do a Facebook live that disappears in a day or two. This is an asset that should last years for him!
Are you spending your time building one-off “marketing” tactics that perish faster than guacamole? Or are you building assets that last a year, five years or a decade or more with little change?
