What's the Process?

First, we talk. All good projects begin with a good conversation. You may already know exactly what you need, or you may need help figuring it out. Your marketing needs may be tactical, or they may require a more comprehensive and strategic look. So, first we have a conversation.

For strategic issues, the next step is often spending some time with your team or key people — a facilitated discussion among participants with varying viewpoints or insights always evokes a clearer picture. We emerge with a sharper understanding of the core issues to resolve or areas of highest opportunity. And then we get busy.

The circle below depicts an ideal sales and marketing strategy and plan. Which piece of the circle is missing or broken within your organization? Minerva Marketing can help figure it out, then review, repair or build the missing arc. Once the circle is complete and well-operating, you can watch your "circle" roll toward the revenue and clear results!
