Company Without It
Low, poor, or inconsistent leads.
Unpredictable forecast and sales.
Few to no referrals or repeat customers.
Company With It

Giving people confidence to try and buy.
Enhancing their customer experience. Encouraging them to buy again and even refer us.
What’s our job in marketing?
What is success?
Our job in marketing is to PREDICTABLY help people, with problems we are good at solving get to know us, like us and trust us.
Marketing must drive sales, PREDICTABLE trys and buys. Effective marketing makes trials and transactions more likely, with less risk or trepidation about the decision being made.
Mature marketing thinks beyond the lead and the sale to service. Mature marketing impacts repeat business and referral business.
Successful marketing accomplishes that at a cost-effective rate.
