Management’s job is not to see the company as it is…but as it can become. John W. Teets CEO Greyhound Corporation
In today’s business climate persuading people to take action is harder than ever. In fact, just getting their attention can be challenging.
Studies show that prospects and customers are much less inclined to participate in your sales process than they were even 10 years ago. Successful companies understand that establishing a beachhead for effective engagement with buyers, and even employees for that matter, requires effective strategy and compelling support materials. PriMarc has been providing both for over 20 years.

Clarify Your Real Value to the Market Effective Messaging and Positioning Strategies
The first task of sales support material is to cut through the barrage of information that bombards prospects each and every day, and clearly communicate the unique value your company represents. In today’s market, terms like “leader,” “innovative,” and “pride” do very little to advance the sale. You need to express your value in terms that motivate your prospects to take action.
Our goal in messaging and positioning is to create specific messages for specific targets in order to ensure the greatest possible impact, while developing a central theme under which all the messages can unite.

Based on the agreed strategies, PriMarc develops messaging vehicles to communicate your value to all constituents, internally and externally. Messaging vehicles can include one or all of the following.
Websites Your website is one of the first places prospects will to go to see if they can determine the value your company might bring to their operation. PriMarc will make sure that value is communicated front and centre.
Video Research by Forbes, Forrester and many other organizations confirms that companies using video marketing in their online promotional efforts are converting more prospects into customers and educating those customers better than competitors that don’t use video.

Presentations Will better presentations really improve your business development efforts? That depends. If you ever find yourself in a close race with your competition, then more professional, flexible and consistent presentations will definitely make an important difference in your business development efforts. (Check out iMarc to see if our professional presentation platform might benefit you.)
Information Folders It’s vitally important to package details about your products or services in a framework that opens a place in the prospect’s mind to receive the information. A four-page 8½ x 11 folder with a pocket for inserts is one of the most effective means of making sure your key messages are communicated before you ask prospects to absorb the details of your information or proposal materials.
Direct Response Vehicles In the current sales environment, the challenge is to get prospects engaged with you at some level – even if they won’t initially see a sales person. Direct response vehicles offering something of value in return for a response are the ticket to starting that interaction. Important: The “offer” can’t be a cheesy “specialty marketing” giveaway, like a ball cap or a pen. It must be directly related to your business and be legitimately useful in helping prospects improve their own business.
