Building Marketplace Awareness

The challenge for this company was that while the company had a very high conversion rate of the quotes to jobs, the awareness level of the company was quite low within the industry. As the owner spent most of his time actually working with existing customers, he had very little time for new business development.

Prospecting for New Business

I set up a prospecting plan for this company – (assembling a database of suitable prospects to target, calling each prospect company to get the buyer name, doing a further call to get to speak to the buyer to introduce the company and invite them to receive the companies’ eNewsletter).e

eNewsletter

The sign-up rate was very high and this allowed the owner to write useful eNewsletter material which we sent out using free email software to all the prospects.  The email analytics provided key information which meant that any further prospecting activity could be much more targeted, concentrating on those prospects who have actively shown an interest in the company and also maintained high awareness levels of the company. When the owner followed up these companies after a period of time, he found that he was much more successful in gaining meetings with the buyers in these prospect companies and generated sales as a direct result.

“Rosemary did a fantastic job with our digital marketing campaign. As a result of Rosemary’s work, we are now in contact with a hugely increased number of potential new clients. The project involved rebranding the organisation to better inform clients of what we do, work on our website and setting up an industry-specific newsletter which worked wonders in raising our profile with clients. Now when we pick up the phone they know immediately who we are; this has made the sales process so much easier and so much more successful.”

An original fundraising idea by myself, this was an idea that tackled the waste generated by the excess of presents that young children get for their birthday by setting up a system where some guests would be invited to donate instead of buying a present. The birthday child then got a special Pass the Present pack from Oxfam Ireland as an acknowledgement of their small sacrifice for those less well off.  I created this idea and worked as a volunteer with Oxfam Ireland from inception to the launch. This involved creating the concept for Pack materials and doing radio, TV and press interviews. This project ran from 2008 until 2017
