Part of the groundwork includes a strong Unique Selling Proposition that differentiates your business from your competition. We’ll define your marketing plan, design your branding, and define exactly who your target audience is and what messaging engages them the most.

2. Marketing System

While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, there is a common framework that produces results across all businesses in all industries. We’ll implement a system that will allow you to create a thriving business.

3. Website that connects with your audience

Success online depends on your ability not only to be found, but your website also needs to connect & resonate with your audience. Your website is the center of all your marketing and must guide your visitors to take the necessary actions that turn them into customers. We’ll turn your website into a lead generation maching.

4. Promotion & Lead Generation

Having a terrific product or service is not enough, people need to know your business exists. You’ll learn how to cost-effectively use paid ads like Google, Facebook, and Linked Ads to target interested prospects and drive them to your website. This includes how to set up and launch a cold email outreach campaign that replies and appointments on your calendar.

5. Follow-Up & Nurture

Not everyone buys the first time they visit your website or business. We’ll guide you through how to use Email Marketing and Marketing Automation to nurture your prospects through each step in the buyer’s journey from Awareness to Decision.

6. Educating your market

With almost every industry being overcrowded it’s critical to understand how to use content to attract, engage, and retain your audience by creating and sharing relevant articles, videos, and podcasts. We’ll coach you through how to share and post content that establishes expertise, promotes brand awareness, and keeps your business on the top of your prospect’s mind.

7. Sales Enablement

Getting people on your email list is not enough. You need to be able to close deals and make sales once you have a lead in your pipeline. We’ll setup a sales funnel, teach you how to qualify prospects, and how to set up your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform to automate your sales process. This will all work whether face-to-face or over Zoom.

8. Keeping Score & Measuring Results

Success in business today is driven by finding key insights that lay hidden in your data. There are key performance metrics every business should be measuring to track progress toward their goals. We’ll walk through tools like Google Analytics and Databox to connect all your performance data in one place and set up automated dashboards and notifications.

9. Partnership Marketing

People trust pre-existing relationships and the recommendations of their friends. Partnerships open up new audience opportunities by leveraging this trust. We’ll help you form strategic collaborations between you and two or more businesses where you’ll all help each other reach your respective business goals in less time, with less effort.

The origins of Small Business Unleashed™

In 2001, a year after the dot com bubble burst, Michael Alos decided to start a sales enablement consulting business. Starting a business while the stock market was at a low and the economy was struggling, provided to be more challenging than anticipated for him. Even with his experience previously having run his family’s manufacturing business for years, along with a background in sales, Michael’s consulting business got off to a slow start.

If his sales team were able to get the right prospects on the phone or face-to-face, they were able to close new deals successfully. The challenge was filling the pipeline with enough new leads during a down economy.

That’s when Michael went to work on building a marketing engine that leveraged some practical core concepts, along with technology tools to automate the processes, to produce a predictable pipeline of leads.

Combining this new marketing engine with the sales enablement skill set he and his team developed, laid the foundation of Small Business Unleashed. Now, Michael and the team at truDemand, have made it their passion and purpose to help other business owners achieve success by unleashing the profits that are hidden in their business through Small Business Unleashed framework, coaching, and online training programs.
