Did You Know . . .
That in all B2B (business-to-business) interactions, in any industry, 60% of sales growth is generated by existing customers, 30% by word-of-mouth and referrals, and only 10% by new customers?
Data is important because it never lies. However, the art of using it effectively means you have to look at the data and let it “speak to you,” as opposed to overlaying the data with your own biases and opinions.
The secret for success lies in analyzing the financial data captured from your sales,at least every 6 months, to keep your pulse on your sales and tweak them when they need adjusting.It’s this in-depth analysis which will give you focus and always the path to follow to make profits.

Fran Piggott
I don’t have a degree in marketing, yet over many years in sales and marketing, I worked out that my success came from focusing on my customers rather than my products. Consequently, knowing who my ideal customers were I was able to build a relationship with them by nurturing and keeping them happy. In this way, I built up a loyal base of customers through trust and service excellence to continually meet my sales targets.
I was ruthless in persistently only targeting and acquiring profitable A and B customers, whilst ditching time and resources-wasting C customers. When you first get started, you sell to everyone because you don’t know who your A or B customers are. Unfortunately, some of the customers you take on board are not the customers you enjoy working with and you soon realise how profits sucking they are … you can even end up subsidizing their businesses and keeping them going … these are your C customers!

I learnt how to package and promote slow-moving profitable products with popular fast-moving products.
Forecasting sales and setting sales targets was easier to predict when I knew what and when my A and B customers bought from me. I used a product matrix for re-selling, up-selling and cross-selling to these customers.
New customers arrived through word-of-mouth from my loyal customers, and asking them for referrals. I also acquired fresh new customers by attending networking functions, making sure I ‘fished in the right pond’. And, using social media myself, proved to be a great source for generating new qualified leads.
I always believe in creating systems, that’s why I’m sharing my 60-30-10 Marketing system with you. It’s a timeless, simple and easy to use model that has proven to work efficiently and cost-effectively, with the least effort for the greatest return.
