CEOs, Company Owners and Key Executives tell us…
Over a 6 year period I have interviewed nearly 600 business professionals
(and still at it).
Here are some of the primary sales and marketing concerns they expressed over and over:
- Customers/prospects don’t understand how significantly our products can help them— they just don’t view what we offer as unique from the competition.
- We provide great products but aren’t getting corresponding sales.
- Our company deserves to be at a higher sales level so what is hindering us?
- We may be wasting money marketing the wrong message to the wrong audience.
- Our message doesn’t seem to be making an impact at all.
- Some of our customers are buying products we sell from other companies—it drives me crazy.
“There’s no reason why companies should allow these
kinds of issues to go on without doing anything substantive
to change it once and for all.”
- Our distributors/dealers are vital to us but we are not anywhere near where we should be in seeing sales growth or at a level of relationship with them either.
- Customers and prospects don’t have us at top-of-mind. We need to get back on their radar screens and stay there.
- What can we do to get our distributors/dealers to pay more attention to our products?
- Our sales people are so focused on the big, potential RFP that they stop prospecting and if they lose the sale, there’s nothing in the pipeline.
- It’s amazing but a good portion of our dealers don’t even know the key differences and advantages of our products over the competitors.
These are only a few of the comments and concerns I have personally heard from a range of companies over the years. There is no doubt how much this hurts otherwise viable companies.
I have dedicated my professional career to solving these kinds of recurring problems and I would like to do the same, working with you.
Do you feel your company should be doing better than it has? Then we should at least get together and talk. The proper differentiation can literally change your business future at a fairly quick pace.
