New combined sales and marketing service for SME’s
Sheffield based businesses CQ Strategic Marketing and AT Management Solutions are teaming up to launch a new combined sales and marketing service for SME’s and have already won their first contract for an international manufacturer.
Jackie Cook from CQ Strategic Marketing has worked in marketing for 20 years, with 15 years in the manufacturing sector. Angela Taylor from AT Management Solutions has worked in sales and manufacturing for 25 years. They recognised a need to combine their experience to help SME businesses that may not have their own in-house sales or marketing resource. CQ Strategic Marketing work with a number of associates to provide clients with a complete marketing service including marketing strategy, planning and ongoing management with an experienced team of professionals in graphic design, web design, hosting and maintenance, digital integration of IT, SEO & PPC, social media management, digital animation, video production and PR. The addition of a sales professional will provide a more comprehensive service for the full business development pipeline. AT Management Solutions provide sales strategy, management, training, risk and forecasting analysis and business development.
Jackie said “I have worked with many companies where we put in the marketing strategy and activity which generates sales leads for the business but there is a gap then in terms of following up that lead, the development of a long-term potential customer relationship, managing getting on framework agreements or getting on preferred supplier lists. I see this association with Angela as meaning we can help our clients maximise the return they get on their investment in their marketing.”
Angela said “My experience shows that an excellent personal understanding of each client needs is critical for long term mutually beneficial business. This understanding supports the generation of new business and winning more opportunities, developing relationships, and developing key accounts. There is a symbiotic relationship between sales and marketing – a dual aspect approach, enhances growth potential and presence versus your competitors. Being at the forefront of your clients’ or target clients’ mind through a multi-channel promotion represents best practice. I see this collaboration as providing a complete customer centric approach.”
To launch this new service Jackie and Angela will be presenting a FREE webinar ‘Connect to Thrive – Courting the Customer’ for Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce on Thursday 5th November at 10am till 11am. To book your place, please visit the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber website:
