The best sales are about building real connections. Not selling. As our own Brian Hicks says: “𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦: 𝘉𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘉𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭. 𝘋𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘰𝘧.” We wanted to share this philosophy with more people.

Remember us saying we got x3 conversions after switching to omnichannel? Take an example: Our client had too many competitors (they're in the finance market). With a million rules and regulations to follow and everyone else fighting for the same clients, it was a nightmare. We knew traditional methods wouldn’t cut it, so we tried something new: a mix of email, Linkedin, and intent cold calling. In just one month, we had 30 meetings and kept going. Long story short, we brought them 𝟭𝟳𝟴 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟵 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 = 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟵 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. Normally, in this industry, you’re lucky to get 5–10 meetings a month. To us, it was another proof that omnichannel is a new must. Not in some distant future, but right away. How do you think, why did it work out?

“𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥. 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥. {𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳_𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯} 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥.” Are they, indeed? Maybe a little true, but let’s be real: relying on one way to reach clients is like trying to build a house with one tool. Just won’t get you far. Dreamdata found that 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝟲𝟮 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟯 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀. Plus, the average sales cycle is 192 days, and you’re usually dealing with around 6 people who have a say. So, you can’t just sit in one spot and expect clients to come to you. You’ve got to be where they are and remind them you exist. That’s where omnichannel comes in. ❌ Omnichannel isn’t about spamming people on every platform. ✅ It’s about creating a smooth experience for your clients, no matter where they are. Imagine this: You see a fridge you like in a store, check reviews online, receive an email with promotion, compare features and prices, buy it online, confirm your order via call, and then pick it up. In omnichannel done right, every touchpoint should connect. Your clients should be able to chat with you on any platform without repeating themselves. When we finally got this, our sales meetings started bringing in 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Want to discuss a tailored omnichannel strategy for your business? Leave a + in comments 👇🏻

What if we’re doing our promotion the wrong way? 🤔 Let’s be honest: We all talk about what we want and have to say. And rarely do we talk about what our customers want to hear. Each of us knows that to resonate with our potential clients, we have to: → Be where they are → Study what they need → Show the solution to their pain points But do we really do all of that? In today’s podcast episode, our very own Michael Maximoff and Anthony Kennada from AudiencePlus discuss: ◾ The importance of data-driven marketing (led by the Netflix example) ◾ The 2 most difficult things in being a founder ◾ How to motivate teams to take ownership of their work and much more.

What keeps us as a top-notch agency? 👉🏻 Hiring top talent 👉🏻 Choosing the top tools 👉🏻 Optimizing inefficient processes That’s why we started using the PandaDoc app for HubSpot to help our sales team prepare and edit master service agreements faster. Before, they spent hours and even days on that. Now, creating an agreement and sending it to the client takes only 5 minutes instead of 1–2 hours it used to be. Overall, it saves 90% of their time and allows them to focus on revenue-generating activities. As Julia Sorokovikova, our Head of Sales Operations, puts it: “With the PandaDoc app, we can have MSAs ready in a matter of minutes. The sales team is less stressed, and the delivery team is more confident in their work. It’s a game changer.” Curious to see the exact steps we took to achieve it?
