Selling More: Identifying & Utilising Routes to Market Workshop

Online, delivered via Zoom, ,

Date: 27 May 2022 - 9:30am - 12:30pm

This workshop looks towards external growth opportunities and approaches to sell more.

We consider whether you would get a stronger foothold by creating a market niche and how to best align yourself with other players in the market in which you wish to grow.

Agenda:

Ruling your niche

A brave yet highly effective strategy is to narrow down and focus on a particular niche. The advantage is there will be fewer competitors who know, love and serve your target market as you do.

Brand You

how to capitalize on the personal brands within your team to create a reputation at thought leaders and ensure this creates more revenue for you.

Piggybacking – who with and how?

Joining with another brand can attract more business for both parties. A good strategy for business-to-business brands, piggybacking works particularly well with associations that want to add value to their members, e.g., with a free limited-time trial of what you are offering. We will explore how to identify the right organisations in your market with whom you could form a win-win alliance. Considerations include assessing the potential organisation’s values and what benefit you could bring to your audience.

The science of referrals

Receiving tailored and relevant referrals is a process. In this workshop, we look at how you can build referrals in a way that opens a dialogue with your customers, rather than treating them as a sales force. If you are continually delighting your customers, building relevant referrals will not be too hard.

Email Marketing where to start?

Online workshop, via Zoom, delivered by Glued Limited, Zoom online

Practical tips and tools for using this key tool for marketing your organisation

Have your sales channels been limited by Covid-19? Looking for new or additional ways to engage with your customers and or prospects? Overlooked email marketing as an overused or out moded form of marketing and communications?

Glued have specifically written this workshop to encourage those just starting out on their email marketing journey. During the lockdown we recognised that this Cinderella discipline was coming into its own.

Rob Harrison and David Wilson of Glued will take you through some of the key facts and figures about the effectiveness of email marketing. They will also cover: key tips on list purchase; reviews of the main platforms; fitting email marketing into your sales process; creating, running and monitoring campaigns. Peppered into this learning will be interactive exercises on: how to profile a target email marketing list; writing engaging subject and head lines; and, selecting imagery that helps you say more than the sum of the parts.

You can just attend the workshop. Or you can upgrade to also receive a workbook to take away and develop your thinking. Or you can ‘upgrade’ to get the workbook and a post event consultation to support you in getting to your first email campaign theme OR list profile OR setting up your email platform.
