IDEAS of Seagull + POWER of Inbound Marketing

 

1) BRAND = Sustainable Growth

Your brand represents your professionalism, credibility, and reputation. Everything you produce can enhance your brand identity or damage it just as easily. You should be constantly concerned with your image, your presentation, your reputation in the marketplace and how best to improve it in order to win more business.

One of the most beneficial and long-lasting outputs of inbound marketing is the effect on your brand identity. Content creation and thought leadership around your product and service positions you as an expert in your field.

We help you guide your business to share educational information about you products and services in such a way that they resonate with your potential customers. This helps you increase customer touch-point frequency, improve reach, and grow brand recognition.

Your brand grows to become a credible source of relevant information that people keep coming back to. When your customers are considering a purchase, you’ll be on top of their mind. This is what we call “sustainable growth”

 

2) Low CPL (cost-per-lead) = More Efficiency

The universal truth is “Business growth depends on more Sales”. You just cannot deny this!

You might have generated a lead database organically over the years or purchased one off the market. Either ways, your sales team makes calls, pushes emails, and tries to connect with prospects. If you really analyse every lead source and the time it takes, you can calculate how much each channel is costing you.

Keeping in mind the above acquisition channels, we also have to consider that there are significant costs to building a consistent sales engine to drive new clients. Cold calls may generate a new set of leads but the cost to acquire a single customer is pretty steep. So, how does one generate better quality leads? Let us answer that for you!

Fact - Did you know that it costs five times as much to attract a new customer, than to keep an existing one?

3) SCALABILITY = Future Proofing

For your business to be truly scalable you have to delegate responsibility, and trust your team. If you devote your time managing daily operations, you’re creating a severe roadblock for the growth of your company.

One of the most arduous obstacles in your organisation’s growth index is sales turnover. Quality salespersons build relationships and a robust lead funnel to continuously harvest new revenue from. But when they leave you, the funnel dries up and you are back to square one.
