The Challenge Infinity is a management consultancy firm that offers a range of services including Six Sigma training and implementation. Infinity approached Marketing Angels to help attract a total of 44 delegates to a series of Executive Briefing events. These Briefing events were designed to provide an opportunity for businesses to gain a better understanding of the benefits of introducing Six Sigma practices to their business. The Process Marketing Angels worked with Infinity to identify key target markets, review the competitive landscape and develop relevant marketing messages to clearly articulate the benefits of attending a Six Sigma Executive Briefing. A highly targeted direct mail campaign was developed, incorporating a clear and concise covering letter with a simple promotional brochure/registration form to generate bookings for the Executive Briefings. Important to the success of the campaign however was a comprehensive follow-up telemarketing campaign. Our telemarketer worked a total of 1060hrs over an 8.5 month period. The telemarketing campaign involved making contact with 500 companies on the Infinity database. We typically made contact with several contacts within each company as part of the process. The Results 100% success. We exceeded the target and delivered 60 delegates in total representing a total of 23 companies. Of the companies who attended the Executive Briefings, 5 converted to clients.Plus, the marketing campaign also generated direct business for Infinity from prospects who were ready to implement Six Sigma into their organisations, by-passing the need to attend the Executive Briefings. The campaign achieved a 100% return on investment.
Work through the priorities section of the workbook. Note: A good guide to help attendees priorities is to get them to write on a separate list of paper their top 10 things to do. Them get them to prioritise the list by writing next to each item how long each thing will take to do. Then have them write next to each item again – which will have the biggest impact on sales/revenue. With 10 being the highest impact and 1 being the lowest impact. They can then prioritise based on the thing that will take the shortest amount of time whilst having the highest amount of impact.
Close the day. Ask for feedback forms to be filled out. Note – ask for video testimonials. Explain we will link to their web site as part of the testimonial process.
