SOS DirectAll this marketing technology is nothing without a strategy

With the rise of digital channels and platforms, there are more marketing technology solutions available than ever before, more than 5,000 software solutions available for marketers in 2018.

But all this marketing technology is nothing without a strategy. Ultimately, a marketer’s goal is to increase sales and drive customer retention.

People in business often hope and expect to do business the first time they meet a prospect. Yet studies reveal that only 2% of sales occur when two parties meet for the first time.

The 2% who buy at a first meeting tend to be people who have already looked into the subject matter, and already know what they’re looking for. If they meet someone who ticks all the right boxes and they get on well, then business may well be transacted. But that is far from the norm. The other 98% will only buy once a certain level of trust has been built up. Continue reading →
