Jon Headlee Nothing formally we subscribe to AHD.com is a resource for hospital data. We have access to some past (2-3 years) resources that give us insight to prospect organization structure and services.
When you consider Competitive Reviews, specifically, where does the team most need to improve? Where is the greatest opportunity for the team?
Luisa Banks, VP Marketing and Business Development consistent positioning with proof of impact to prospect's business (either through case studies or clear understanding of business goals)
Jon Headlee We need to tighten up how we position, show and sell our services - specifically digital when we are in a digital only conversation. We have been blessed with great clients that trust us to help them in new areas of their organization beyond traditional marketing and adverting, but we have not translated how to sell additional services effectively into new prospective opportunities - which are sometimes other departments, HR, Business Development and the C-Suite. We do the work well with existing clients, but we have not had to sell this work in a competitive situation, so our story is not a "sharp" as it needs to be to stand out and get noticed and then chosen. We are too vague in some areas of our proposals, because in the early stages there are many unknowns. We are perfectionists, so we don't want to give information that may not be accurate at the time we are being asked to provide the details, therefore it can come across as soft or not clear and therefore not helpful to our prospects.
Is there anything else that would provide insight into your new business goals, opportunities or challenges?
Luisa Banks, VP Marketing and Business Development see sharepoint folder
Jon Headlee Because we are healthcare only focused, we have deep category knowledge and experience and a team of experts that we have not effectively or consistently leveraged to showcase our true level of areas that we can help marketing teams - get more effective work done faster. Our site is too portfolio driven with too many bigs words and not as clear as it should be. It's not built with a B2B focus to get people to connect with us -- we are working on a new site in the 3-4 months. Opportunity: We have dedicated BD leader and two other support members to consistently execute what ever we design, develop and have the capacity it make it happen.
