Here is just one example of how it would be utilized in a corporation:
Example 1: Sales Rep has high level meeting with VIP prospect. After Meeting Rep logs onto our online ordering system. Rep picks a Corporate Brochure, Demo CD, A Company logoed Golf Windshirt XL (they both dicussed golf so the rep thought this would be a thoughtful addition) and checks out. At Checkout Rep is given opportunity to upload a letter (rep uploads a “Thank you for meeting me, here is the literature I promised and a little something for the links” type Letter Doc.) Rep submits order. In many cases we can have the order w/ custom letter out same day.
RESULT: VIP has impressive follow-up next day
The fact is we have developed an exceptional solution that will help large corporations address a variety of issues associated with the distribution of marketing materials such as: response time, hoarding, version control, waste, cost allocation, fulfillment, admin assistance, kits, assembly etc.
Here is my problem! I am a smaller company, (approx 1 million in annual sales) we do not have a national sales force or established sales channel. This solution requires us to both find organizations that feel the pain of poor material management and then find a champion in the organization that will be able to drive the entire company into a different (but better) system of marketing material management and ordering. If we find the organization and the best contact, we need to fairly quickly establish a level of trust without ever having done a spec of previous work for that corporation. We have had a great deal of trouble finding that individual within an organization that is willing to try and champion a service such as our through the corporation. In fact we are having a good bit of trouble finding a cost effective marketing strategy.
All suggestions are welcome
