Course outline
15 classes
Diagnosis
Going through a diagnostics session we will simulate the process with a few use cases from the class. During this process, you will clear out your short term vision, will clarify your current state, and make a clear plan of action for bringing the vision to life.
Users vs. Buyers vs. Decision makers
In this session we will first map out the value chain of the startup to clear out who are the decision makers, the users, and the buyers throughout the B2B sales cycle; whereas we will try to look at the decision making process of the B2C businesses. We will show some use cases and then each of you will clarify and build your own chain, and pinpoint the people to target in the organizations. For each target audience, you will find the channels through which they can be reached while leveraging your current resources. You will try to get in touch with them.
Target audience - Demographics
After having clarified where to find your audience, and having conversed with them, you will start explaining the demographics, finding the channels for each group and start building a lead list from there.
Psychographics
A deep dive in the psychographics will help you build the basis for good marketing tactics. Through this session you will explore your lead list from an almost intimate level. You will write down their aesthetic and language preferences, you will explain their day, their triggers, and their purchase behavior. From here you will group and categorize them.
Competition analysis
Through competition analysis, as well as feature and value comparison, you will be able to build the knowledge for handling objections that come from leads, as well as build the basis for messaging that will differentiate your startup within your market. In this session you will build your competition matrix, as well as audit their sales and marketing channels.
Positioning, value proposition
Having clarified your audience, and your competition, you will now dive into your values. You will learn about brand strategy, build your positioning statement, clear out the look and feel, the messaging and your story.
Building channels and materials
Now that you have all your map built out, it’s time to execute. In this session you will start using the tools you need to build your lead generating channels. Those could be: Design of ads, posts, landing pages, business cards, emails, content building, events, webinars, lead magnets etc.
Pitching and Meetings, and negotiations
As your initial meetings start to kick in, you will need the follow up materials to push your leads down the funnel. In this session we will talk about your company blurb, emails, decks, setting up and managing meetings, LoIs, MoUs etc.
Building Funnels and CRM
This session is about hygiene. You will be talking to a lot of people. Receiving a lot of emails, and very soon will forget who you talked to about what. So we will build up the funnel and start using CRM tools to be able to nurture your leads.
Let the games begin
It’s time to focus on your game and bring it all in. Any challenge will be solved together with the class and pitching in each other’s network and resources for each other will be the core focus. Yet, whoever manages to use those resources best and fast, will be able to score more!
