Marketing

Have you ever gone the length of creating a website with your companies branding and marketed in your territory/area to your target audience? If so, what were the results?


Secondly, other than social media posts, email blasts, networking etc. What type of marketing are you doing/ have done on your own to attract new clients?


More info

Target audience is small-medium businesses.

Product is software.

Position is 100% commission but own book.

Product is great but brand recognition is low due to never penetrating geographic area.

Do this and tell us how long it takes for your own company to send you a cease and desist letter for using their branding without their permission.

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
Yep this one right here, likely to be a big nono from a company standpoint.

Kind of sounds like a waste of time, if you ask me.   Do you have marketing that can build a page for you so you can hit the phones and start doing actual sales work?

No need to go through all the effort if marketing could do it for you…or use an intern

Would we trust the intern though? I guess it can't be worse than marketing... Ehh fuck it

If you're going to do that, just go balls deep into marketing and make the jump. Sounds like TONS of ongoing work and dealing with your internal teams getting mad at you for not staying brand-congruent.

Your time better spent finding a company that has a well established brand.

"Sell me this pen" is a trap. Any candidate that actually tries to sell the pen gets disqualified. Ask questions about pens. Keep asking.
