Marketing Process



Q3 Lead Plan


running LI Sales Navigator through your account and working with the 360 team.In summary here is their general (conservative) timeline to get to our first contracted deals:
MONTH 1
Week 1 - set up LI campaign, start
Week 2 - creep out program, incremental contact
Week 3-4 - ramping up to 100+ daily, no anticipated client lead calls yet
MONTH 2
Continue process; ramp volume; secure 2-5 lead calls scheduled
MONTH 3
Continue process; ramp volume; secure 6-8 lead calls scheduled; ideally realize first closes
This is a time and numbers game. We feel confident Jeff and his team at 360 can perform. Now that we’ve engaged, let’s see how our first 3 months will pan out on leads we can convert to sales and deals.

200505 - Jason on updates


slack

After a lot of R&D over the last 8 weeks we have narrowed down to a lead gen company with a very personalized approach that Wes and I have just hired. The company is Saleslink360.
http://saleslink360.com/Lance is now grooved in and is running point to head up implementation of their program with us over these next several months and kick off the project. I am working with him and the 360 team to kick off this week with first outreach through Sales Navigator in LinkedIn. They use that in combination with another platform, along with a dedicated internal account sales rep who will be doing the outreach and initial contact.We have a generic email set up where all leads will be directed. From there we will hand them over for initial lead call and contact.Separately, we have 3 contracted salespersons. One in particular (Caine Thompson) is the the more qualified and we plan to hand over leads for initial client contact once we have solved process.From there, we schedule a call with the prospect for their initial free consult and due diligence call.  And at that point we will be ready to engage the client and ideally move them forward towards a blueprint SOW.With states starting to thaw out hopefully over the coming weeks getting doors reopened and people back to work, we decided now is our best timing to kick off the program and ramp up outreach so by June we can start seeing first real leads. Then June - Sept we anticipate building lead flow up to between 5-10 calls a month and ideally 1-3 client deals landed monthly.I wanted to find out what your work path looks like in the near future to engage as we discussed. As we would want to maybe get your participation on final scheduled initial calls. My proposal remains as offered which is a contractor position of Senior Solutions Architect on a commission basis to start out with, at a 25% commission on all blueprints to begin with.Anyways please let me know how you’re doing and how things look for you, and hopefully we can finally get this ball rolling.Thanks.

Hope everyone on your end is still doing well.

It's great you have a real sales organization that can build lead lists and salesmen for initial lead qualification.

I think you are on target with the slow reopening between June and September.

A lot of issues that weren't addressed in H1 will need to be planned in Q3 - a very good time to prospect as the planning landscape clears up.

The Senior Solutions Architect role is good. I hope we can build out a real project portfolio to deliver around the blue prints.

While my workload can be "lumpy" around deliverables as a contractor, I will have schedule flexiblity in many cases to join the prospecting calls as well as availability to work on projects.

I've been doing some presentations, client calls, defining the solution delivery process, architecture on Blockchain and Data Services projects, testing, project management, partner calls etc.

Still active at Hyperledger and MOBI meetings as well.

Keep me posted.

Thanks

Jim
