​Show Objectives - The Why
The purpose of today’s show is to give you an overview of what we talked about this season of Sales and Marketing  for Stage III companies. The information we covered the last ten weeks is an in-depth set of sales and marketing topics which deal with the items that need to be looked at implemented and refined  when your company has entered into Stage III

Remember at Stage III you are a business that is getting ready to consolidate growth to date, solidify your systems and processes and get ready to level up to Stage 4.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:
  1. Making sure our objectives fit with those of our customers
  2. Is our sales process one of surprise and delight for our customers or is it like pulling teeth? Where are the road bumps?
  3. Are the expectations we are creating through marketing messaging being delivered at the end or are we breaking our brand?
  4. What are all the touch points or “moments of truth” on the customer journey
  5. What are the metrics and benchmarks we need to be across and how are we performing?

What You Need to Know - What we covered
  1. Align Marketing & Sales Objectives with Customers - the operational realities of understanding how our customers use our product or service and what their results are.
  2. Align Sales Processes with Customers - looking at it through a marketing, sales and service experience perspective are we delivering on the expectations we are creating.
  3. Understand Customer Usage (User Friendly & Results) how is our product or service working for them now they are using it. 
  4. Characteristics of Best Customers - understanding how the customers are buying, who are my best accounts and why cost of acquisition in comparison to top line sales.
  5. Opportunities to PLUS 1 the Relationship  - if you are going to improve the customers experience how do I surprise and delight them in some way. The one percent that creates raving fans.
  6. Opportunities to Increase Share of Wallet with best Customers  - What opportunities do I have to increase purchase frequency, upsell, cross sell or diversify to grow your wallet share with your customers?
  7. Identify New Users for Existing Offer  - Now it's time to identify who else is out in the market that we haven’t reached and who is floating in the adjacent markets that we need to talk to.
  8. Balance Between Selling to the New and Servicing the Old  - The difference between Acquisition and Retention and what it costs you on both sides of the coin. How to evaluate your processes to ensure you have a balanced book and who contributes to the journey.
  9. Customer Recovery - You are never going to get it right all the time. Deliver on promise and recover when you don’t. The hidden path to profitability in the long term.
  10. Sales Metrics & Earn Rate - How to interrogate your numbers and ratios to ensure that your team is running on all cylinders, where coaching is required and what to look at.
