Bold Thinking. Smart Execution.
Rather than separate the strategic thinkers from the creative minds, we insist that they work together, from start to finish. This discipline allows us to identify the right idea from a sea of countless good ones. The results are measurable.
The Problem with Sales
Sales and marketing desire the same end result, but that is about all the two disciplines have in common. Understanding this difference, and encouraging a positive dynamic between the two, is critical to success in presales. Ideally, sales and marketing should fit “hand in glove,” but this is rarely the case when a sales driven company partners with a marketing driven company to achieve presales. The reason is that the two companies are not truly integrated, and often do not appreciate their different, but parallel, roles.
The Problem with Marketing
A “sales-only” organization is focused on the project on the ground, while a “marketing-only” organization is focused on the project that lives in the minds of consumers. Neither mindset is correct. Both are necessary. Like a team of horses, they need to be equally strong and well-matched. One of the more common mistakes in presales is to give free reign to a marketing company that produces gorgeous materials that are of little use to the sales team, or that arrive too late in the process to be effective. Run-away marketing is one of the easiest ways to lose money and time in presales.
