Marketing, Branding & Lead Generation

It’s often said that nothing happens until something gets sold. But nothing gets sold until the phone rings. Or the website form is submitted … or the lead comes in in general. But how do you make the phone starting ringing?

In this three-day bootcamp, co-founder of iMarket Solutions and contracting business owner Gary Elekes takes you on a deep dive into all things contractor marketing. You’ll get the marketing fundamentals, like understanding the need for a marketing plan, marketing calendar and lead & sales forecasts, as well as a greater mastery of advertising and its concepts in general. But you’ll also hone in on specifics – including how to develop more compelling, effective ads, how to leverage financing, and even how to tap into the Yellow Pages.

Topics Covered:

  • Lead tracking systems
  • Marketing calendar
  • Advertising tactics
  • Marketing programs
  • Distributor marketing programs

PLEASE BRING A WORKING LAPTOP OR DEVICE THAT HAS MICROSOFT EXCEL SO YOU CAN WORK WITHIN THE SPREADSHEET TEMPLATES THAT WILL BE PROVIDED.
