Our Process
There are critical brand touchpoints throughout the customer
journey from pre-purchase to purchase to post-purchase that grow and build customer
relationships. While B2C marketing largely relies on the customer’s experience
with the product, B2B marketing is primarily relationship driven, relying heavily
on customer experiences with your organization—with your people.
We help clients identify the critical brand touchpoints and
align strategies and tactics to deliver a unique brand experience at these crucial
touchpoints in the customers’ journey.
By identifying and communicating these critical touchpoints, it quickly becomes clear to others in the
organization that brand building and brand nurturing is not just the responsibility
of the marketing department.
Who do your customers interact with before the sale? Certainly
your sales force—through
cold calling, sales calls, and capabilities presentations. Often even earlier at trade
shows, through sales and marketing support, or customer call centers. With whom do they interact
at the transactional stage? Sales and marketing, project managers, often executive
leadership, and perhaps design, engineering, or other professionals from your organization.
And after the sale? Most likely sale follow-up and ongoing account service from your
sales force. But also others, like customer service, order fulfillment, shipping, installers,
technicians, help centers, tech support, the parts and service desk, and others.
At every point, your customers experience and evaluate your
brand. We help our clients identify the most critical touchpoints and then develop
the tools and implement strategies to deliver the brand, convey brand differentiation,
and build brand loyalty. To lead prospects and customers from interest to engagement
to advocacy. To convert brand loyalists into brand ambassadors who ultimately
become some of the best “salespeople” you
have.
