Using Social to
Find New
Business
Business Development issues you
(and all our clients) are facing
Challenge 1: No Focus On Differentiation
• Company position is indistinct
• Sales & Marketing talk about generic features &
benefits
• Deals and sales are won/lost on price
Challenge 2: Lack of Repeatable Process
• Operations, including Sales and Marketing seem
to be done differently everytime
• No Process for creating repeatable, sustainable
customer delight
• No Process for creating additional current-
customer sales
Challenge 3: Ideal Customer is Anyone..
• No clarity and focus to messaging
• No consistent feedback loops
• No referabilty
Challenge 4: No Systematic Approach for
Finding New Customers
• No content repurposing
• Website underperforms
• “Hope” for referrals
• Traditional Marketing programs underperform
Challenge 5: No Calendar
• Marketing activity of the month
plan
• No consistent way of getting the
message out
The Big Problem
Business Growth is
unpredictable and inconsistent
Its not your Tactics…
…Its the lack of business

Leading Results Core Marke8ng Mantra
• Don't talk about the products you sell; talk
about the problems you solve.
• Then talk about the remarkably different way
that I will experience working with you as you
solve those problems.
• Be sure you tell me what I get; NOT what you
do. Because I don't have 8me to figure out if
what I need is what you do.

Adop8on Risks for Customers
1. “Who are you, how do I know you’ll be in this space a year from now?”
2. “What does your product do (and what does it not do)?”
3. “Do you actually have a product we can install and use?”
4. “How is your product different from the other ones we (could) use?”
5. “What cri8cal problem does your product help us to solve?”
6. “Which of our peer companies use your product with good results?”
7. “How difficult is your product to install and implement?”
8. “How will your product impact the way I/we work?”
9. “What proof is there that we can achieve the results you promise?”
One risk is an issue.
