Commercial Strategy

Focus on what matters
A solid commercial strategy is essential to providing a clear view on who we are communicating with, what motivates our target market and the outcomes we are seeking to generate.
Without this, there is a real chance marketing budget will be wasted, sales teams will be talking to people who will never buy and and in the meantime the competition will be dissappearing off over the horizon.
Nobody wants to be a busy fool.
Having a plan in place not only gives you the confidence so you know why you are doing each activity, it also gives the board a clear message you have a direction of travel, and crucially, it gives you the chance to measure, analyse and optimise efforts as the plan is delivered.


Bringing clarity and order
Together, we can also layout the key performance indicators for your campaign so you know what’s working and what requires your attention.
It’s likely you will have some of the work already done. Our approach is to work with what is already in place rather than replace it out of hand. Let’s concentrate on capitalising on your efforts and filling in the gaps. If however, what’s there just isn’t going to give us the platform you need then you’d rightly want me to call it out as not fit for purpose.
What’s involved can be agreed with each client, but typically can include:

Vision, values, purpose

SMART goal setting

Key buyer personas

Map the buyer journey

Data audit

Content calendar

Go-to-market plan

KPI set, monitor, optimise
Testimonials
