Agenda – Part 2

  • Existing sales channels: auditing where business comes from to identify which areas you could do more (or less).
  • 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 (as covered in Part One), building relevant referrals will not be too hard.
  • 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.
  • 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.
