When was the last Time you…

Why do we make things so
complicated?
![Page 15: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Land mine #1 Marketing, Sales…what’s the difference?
![Page 16: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Marketing…Sales…
Which department matters most in a company? Marketing or Sales…
‘What comes first? The chicken or the egg?’
![Page 17: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Marketers need to have sold something to be effective in marketing!
Marketers must understand the pain of trying to ‘make the sale’!
Selling isn’t easy!
Marketing…Sales…
![Page 18: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sales discipline
Sales’ ability to reach sales targets established in the Business plan – Imperative.
Account Managers go through consistent prospecting process till a sale is made.
Marketing…Sales…

Marketing…Sales…
![Page 21: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fact:
strong link between Sales & Marketing.
always seek feedback from sales (reading market, understanding competition, fine tuning products/ services).
NO feedback from sales? that’s a problem. Either:
1) Sales don’t have your number/email/ channel to give to feedback, 2) Not welcoming feedback? 3) NO environment for sales to give feedback.
Marketing…Sales…

Listen to the music!
![Page 23: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Land mine # 2: Customer Experience – are we ‘In Synch’?
![Page 24: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
One magic moment where your company is evaluated.
Product/service
Performance
Interaction with customers
How services are delivered
‘Moment of Truth ‘
![Page 25: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
‘When passengers see a coffee stain on the
tray table in front of them, they automatically
assume that we have engine troubles.’
Tom Peters (Passion for Excellence, 1985)
‘Moment of Truth ‘
![Page 26: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SMS for an outstanding balance on client’s bank card:
Cod ID client XX8644YY: La 06/02/2012 suma datorata este
67.41 RON. Restantele se raporteaza Biroului de Credit.
‘Moment of Truth ‘
![Page 27: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Assessment:
1. Total lack of politeness. No ‘ ‘we would like to raise to your attention’…
2. No explanation – Straight to credit bureau.
3. No warnings; ‘out of the blue’. No emails, no attempt to call/ perhaps enquire as to why unpaid or inactive.
Contradiction:
Enormous budgets for ATL advertising in TV, Print and outdoor with 3 Romanian sport figures.
‘Moment of Truth ‘
![Page 28: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Result:
Client canceled the card, rather all cards.
The solution:
All touch points and customer facing departments to be in unison.
Product Managers/Marketing communications need to be attentive what:
Customer care
Retention/loyalty
Collections teams are sending to the customer via SMS.
‘Moment of Truth ‘
![Page 29: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
All customers bring value!
Marketing OWNS the messages to customers!
All messages to customers, have to be CONSISTENT !
‘Moment of Truth ‘

Stick to the Shtick
![Page 32: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Land mine #3: Dealing with apathy. How Branding can instill a killer instinct
![Page 33: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Customer complaints are vital
how we are doing
Opportunity to solve problems
What’s worse than a customer complaining?
A customer that does not complain (…and
walks).
Dealing with Apathy
![Page 34: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
SOUL
is what the Brand represents…
it’s the promise delivered every day.
Dealing with Apathy
![Page 35: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Let me give you an example – yes… banking! 4 years ago debit card renewed/ needed to wait for my new card. after 1 week… after 2 weeks ‘nope not ready yet’… after 6 weeks, finally get my card! Fast forward 4 years now. Same bank! bank calling to deter potential fraud debit card had to be renewed! 5 weeks to get a renewed card after multiple calls
Dealing with Apathy
![Page 36: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bright looking employee reaction: ‘Humm’
NO Initiative,
NO attention to the customer,
NOT a bit of empathy!
Dealing with Apathy
![Page 37: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
WANT to find the answer
HAVE the initiative
WANT to kill himself for the brand
WANT to please his customer
WANT to make a difference
FEEL part of the brand!
Dealing with Apathy
![Page 38: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The brand makes it happen!

Land mine #4. Of course the campaign is integrated…
![Page 41: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Common integrated campaign pitfalls
Pitfall #1: Media that don’t reinforce each other
Pitfall #2: Create a budget first, metrics second
Pitfall #3: Awareness vs. sales
Pitfall #4: Delegate and forget
Of course the campaign is Integrated!

Ask agency or team making the proposal:
• ‘The TVC will complement online how?’ or
• ‘Prove to me that customers will see same message in 2-3 different media, creating call to action?’
•‘Explain link between Outdoor and web banners?’
Pitfall #1: Media that don’t reinforce each other
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
![Page 43: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Adding any combination of media is EASY
Getting them to work ‘in synch’ is NOT!
The messages : Consistent
Choice of media needs to build a 1-2 punch
Must complement each other.
Pitfall #1: Media that don’t reinforce each other
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
![Page 44: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Common mistake: Set a budget first, then spend later on a variety of media.
The justification to coming up with budget first could be: a) Slow sales
b) Competitors are not advertising as much or
c) The state of the economy.
Pitfall #2: Create a budget first, metrics second
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
![Page 45: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
Pitfall #3: Awareness vs. sales
It is possible to design Marketing so that the initiatives and tools you create can generate customer revenues.
Look for an agency that can focus on:
creation
execution ..and
integration of all Marketing initiatives
![Page 46: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
Chief Marketing Officer Sales-and-Marketing Pro:
see results
maintain the consistency of the message.
CMO has to be diligent enough to have created a succession !
Pitfall #4: Delegate and forget
![Page 47: Building top line revenues with marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5470f679b4af9fa30a8b49cb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
You must consider the following: 1) Who’s the target of marketing campaign?
2) Initiatives follow the marketing plan?
3) Goals this campaign seeks to achieve?
4) Are Leads captured?
5) Monitor the results?
Of course the campaign is Integrated!
