For any entrepreneur, manager or decision-maker, clarity and transparency are essential in defining business goals. But how do we define clear objectives and how can we do this efficiently?
This is the case when the company's vision and goals are not well-defined. While many entrepreneurs or managers come up with general requirements such as "I want sales, I want recognition, I want profit", this approach does not provide much clarity for the marketing team.
Making 5 sales versus 50,000 is a huge difference, and it requires different strategies, as does the difference between wanting 1,000 views compared to 1 million views. That's why we need to be as specific as possible when communicating desired results to your marketing agency.
In this case, the approach is structured yet general. Any marketing agency that is committed to its clients' success will suggest defining objectives in a more detailed way. This may include a specific number of leads or sales per month, a desired average value per transaction, or reaching a specific number of online users.
For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that you conduct an audit prior to setting any business or marketing goal. The audit to provide clarity to both your management team and the marketing agency you are working with. By auditing we can spot certain trends, notice how effective past strategies have been, identify what should be improved, and many other important data needed to make a business successful.
At Remote Marketing, we always make sure that we know exactly where to start. We conduct an initial audit and assist clients in defining their goals in a specific way, focusing on current figures and desired goals. Such detailed structure allows us to better understand the journey and have a clear plan of action.
Having specific figures and data is essential to achieve your goals. These allow us to make realistic forecasts and adapt our strategy accordingly. Particularly for start-ups, it is crucial to have an initial testing and adjustment period.
Customer feedback also plays a critical role in this process. No matter how effective a marketing agency is, it needs to receive regular feedback. The buying decision is not always immediate, so it is important to identify a pattern and collect relevant data constantly.
For example, in the automotive and real estate industries, purchases can be difficult to track because no one always knows precisely when and where a purchase is made. Although CRM systems can help, they are not always complete. That's why constant feedback from the sales team and management is essential.
Setting clear and specific goals is key to ensure business success. Each objective and strategy has to be well-defined, customized and tracked to maximize effectiveness and results.
