Who?
The 'Outcome Marketing' book, along with the vibrant community we're cultivating around it, is tailored for leaders of SMB companies. Our objective is simple: demystify marketing. We present you with a playbook, a step-by-step guide to implementing systems and processes that ensure consistent, positive business outcomes.
Are you a CEO, cautiously signing off on marketing expenses, questioning when—or even if—they'll reap rewards? Or perhaps a marketing professional weary of the hit-or-miss approach, of seemingly random acts of marketing? If you seek tangible results, this community is for you.
What?
Outcome Marketing'—both the book and the budding community—is your playbook if you're at the helm of an SMB. Our cause is to take the mystery out of marketing. We lay out a clear roadmap of strategies and tactics, illuminating the oft-black art of marketing. Discover how establishing repeatable systems and processes can consistently yield positive business outcomes.
Our collective will bring together SMB leaders and marketing service providers, all contributing to a narrative crafted and curated by the authors of 'Outcome Marketing'.
Why?
Every time a CEO approves a marketing expense, there's a lingering uncertainty: when and if the investment will bear fruit, and just how bountiful the harvest might be. On the frontline, the corporate marketing stalwarts—CMOs, Marketing Directors, and Managers—are exhausted from navigating the labyrinth of trial and error, weary of seemingly aimless marketing efforts. For those who seek to make the change, 'Outcome Marketing' offers clarity in place of confusion.
How?
Our methodology is anchored in completeness and consistency. It's not about fleeting trends or momentary buzz. It's about repeatable strategies, tactics, systems, and processes—far beyond the flashy creativity often associated with 'Marketing'.
We meticulously dissect and understand the business, leveraging data-driven insights and offering proven strategies and tactic which can then be tailored to your unique needs. By harmonizing the art and science of marketing, we ensure that every step, from strategy inception to execution, is calibrated for maximum efficiency and impact.
So What?
Our North Star? The outcome. And the pinnacle of those outcomes is pipeline generation. When Marketing consistently and scalably fuels the pipeline, it sets off a chain reaction: Sales rejoices, the CEO is gratified, the board is content. But the ramifications extend even further. In a world saturated with messages and campaigns, businesses that operate with an outcome-oriented mindset stand apart, enjoying lasting customer relationships, superior brand resonance, and, ultimately, tangible business growth. With 'Outcome Marketing', not only is Marketing fulfilled but the entire organization celebrates the cascading victories.
