Step 3 – build your social profileSocial media is an extremely powerful web selling tool - just as long as you don’t use it to sell.

Your prospects use media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to communicate with one another. They want to have conversations about the things they’re professionally interested in.

You need to be part of those conversations. We make it happen

So when your prospects are interested in buying products or services from your industry, you’ll be at the forefront of their minds. You’ll be a trusted, approachable and well-respected resource they already have a relationship with. So they’re much more likely to come to you.

Step 4 – create remarkable content

If you say remarkable things, people will make remarks about you.

You’ll become well known.

And in a crowded marketplace, that’s a good thing to be.

We’ll create blogs for you that your prospects will talk about – because we’ll address the issues they’re most worried about.

Blog posts, emails, web landing pages, press releases, white papers, hints and tips, how-to guides, stories, pictures, video, audio, comments, chat, webinars, PowerPoint slides, cartoons, competitions, photos……and more.

Step 5 – personaliseThe more you know about your prospects, the more you can match your offerings to their personal interests, concerns and buying cycles. That in turn means more sales.

With powerful data gathering and crunching, you can be very precise about this. 360 Connect enables you to track which page on your website initially attracted your prospect; which pages they visited subsequently; how long they spent on your site; and whether they returned.

They respond to your offer by visiting a landing page – again, personalised to their interests.

That’s why conversion rates are very high. It’s a hugely effective means of marketing – and it delivers trackable ROI.

Step 6 – integrate everythingOne of the biggest and most expensive problems in sales and marketing is information silos. 360 Connect eliminates them all.

Instead, multi-channel lead generation and lead nurturing mean that every lead is followed up in the most suitable way.

Email campaigns are tracked using user open and click receipts, so we know exactly when the prospect read your offer.

We combine this with data from personalised landing pages. If they visited, yet didn’t buy, we can find out the reason using telemarketing.

Our highly experienced telemarketers qualify interest and can either close the sale, pass it back to your sales team, or nurture the contact using email, callbacks and social media.

Step 7 – Real-time analytics - ROI

Step 7 – Real-time analytics - ROI

A key advantage of 360 Connect is that you can prove it works.

Many marketing platforms are ‘hit and hope’. You devise a campaign... throw money at it... and hope customers come running.

But 360 Connect uses powerful real-time analytics to continually analyse results. As your campaign develops, it crunches more and more data. That means you can continually fine-tune every element, from an email’s opening offer, to a landing page’s conversion rate. If something’s not working, you can fix it – fast.

And if one element consistently pulls sales, you can immediately roll it out to other areas.

Are your conversations on LinkedIn attracting people to your site? You can show exactly which threads attract prospects – and set up similar questions.
