2. “Marketing is really just about
sharing your passion, and
it applies to all functions
of your business &
customer journey
(not just before the sale).”
3. Key Challenges of a Services Company
1. Shifting to more short-term, project-based work (it’s a buyer’s market)
2. Difficulty managing surge capacity - the ability to scale up and down
on a project by-project basis is incredibly valuable — and complex.
3. Need quick access to highly specialised skills. “This demand presents a
real dilemma for providers already working with slim margins: They can’t
afford to keep specialists on the bench, yet they also can’t turn away
good work that demands such specialization.”
4. Increased expectations for performance and transparency.
Providers must continually prove and reinforce their value.

5. Key Challenges of a Services Company cont’d
• Deciding on what activities to do, and in which order, to maximise ROI. How to know what to do, and when
to get the biggest bang for your buck?
• Lacking marketing expertise in-house to plan, execute and report on marketing campaigns
• Misalignment between marketing and sales resulting in missed revenue targets/growth opportunities
• Lack of systems and processes to produce consistent marketing, build brand awareness, capture and nurture leads,
and provide a memorable experience for users throughout the multiple touch points of the customer journey.
• Insufficient data to truly understand what’s working and what’s not, and an inability to make smarter business
decisions in terms of allocation of resources and budget.
