If you want more customers to buy your product or service, you need to build trust with them first. Trust that you won’t let them down, that you will deliver the outcomes expected, and that they won’t regret their decision for choosing your company.
Companies that are focussed on ‘selling the meeting’ don’t build trust. In an effort to look for the ‘needle in the haystack’ that’s willing to buy from you now, their hungry SDR team churn and burn the market. Ever downloaded an eBook and had a sales team call you non-stop for the next few months?
Doesn’t build a great deal of trust does it?

Today we are sharing step 2 of our framework to create complete end-to-end organizational alignment. This is the solution to start driving a much more efficient acquisition system.
Step 2 is all about building relationships with your target customers and getting them to buy from you.

If you're a CMO, CRO or Head of Sales, you should be asking yourself: how can our teams work better together to drive more revenue, in a more efficient way?
We've come across so many organizations that have bloated methods for acquiring customers. They're loaded to the brim with hungry SDRs who have 'book the meeting at all costs' as their mandate. They've handcuffed marketing and reduced them to 'lead gen' to feed the sales machine.
The result? A 'spray and pray' method that doesn't work unless you have serious cash to burn. Marketing, sales and customer success are incentivised to behave in ways that compete with each other. A poor customer experience. And a high level of churn and dissatisfaction at customer success.
To answer your prayers for a 'better way', we've teamed up with 7x ex Head of Sales, Adem Manderovic, to bring you a combined marketing and sales system that will completely align your business. It will help you build a growth engine that allows you to win more customers for less, and reduce churn.
It gets sales, marketing and customer success to all play on the same team.
Today we are sharing step 1 of our framework to create complete end-to-end organizational alignment. This is the solution to start driving a much more efficient acquisition system.
Step 1 is all about laying the foundations in place for your revenue engine before you go-to-market.
Tune in and learn:
+ How to define your next best market
+ How to reposition your business to make it a 'no brainer' for future customers
+ How to prioritize your next targets by cataloguing the market
