Gnowit can generate more leads for your business by discovering media surrounding important sales-driving trigger events
As you see, I've written a trigger warning here – I will be using this word a lot in the next 10 minutes, so if you find yourself sensitive to Sales, I advise you cover your ears.
So what do I mean when I mention sales triggers?
1. I don't mean triggering someone to buy your product; I mean finding somebody who has already indicated they are ready for your product, without even knowing it.
Beach volleyball: I'm not going up to people telling them to play beach volleyball, and therefore to buy my product; I am finding those who already plan to play. I am looking for planned events like beach days, tournaments, and company picnics that I can approach and offer a good deal to.
2. It's the marketer's job to find them and put the right product in their hands.
Here we have a pretty typical sales process – millions of words have been written on these concepts in the past, so I will only quickly touch on them.
The goal of any growing startup is ultimately to find a reliable base of customers to purcahse your product. Here is a typical example of how you can reach that point:
Company tracking
There are two types of businesses you may like to track; those you have previously done business with, or those you have identifed as potential leads you wan to win
1. Businesses you have already associated with can still be significant, because there is nothing better for the marketer than a repeat customer; you can track discourse such as news or awards; an excuse to reach out and congradulate your contact when things are going well (typically a good time to pitch a sale)
2. If you've identified a lead you would like to win, then you can identify…
Grand opening, product launch, company growth (HR software), funding round, managment shakeups
