DRT Strategies’ Post

Have you ever worked in a business like this? Team members get promoted for their hard work and dedication. Only then to recieve no support or training in their new role. I use the nightclub analogy. 🕺 Team members are the dancers on the dancefloor. 💃 Managers are the best dancers on the floor. ( You know the ones. The ones that other dancers emulate.) 🎶 Directors, however are the DJ's. Directors manage the room. They set the pace, the tone and the culture of the night. Will the dancers dance? Will they stand at the sides, confused? Will they go to another, better nightclub? How can your team transition through their respective roles: 🚫 Without training? 🚫 Without support? 🚫 Without a clear vision of the goals. The best example of support I can remember being given was by my good friend Kevin Kelly. He was my manager on my first day at Pitney Bowes literally 20 years ago!!! Kevin told me that if I wanted, he'd get me my 1st sale. He was happy to do it, but then I'd NEVER know that I could do it myself. I refused and got my first ever sale that day. Thank you for that Kevin. What was the best example of support you remember getting? #growth #training #support #ghost

Are your virtual events failing to attract the desired attendance and engagement rates? Check out the recent success we had with a virtual whiskey tasting! Initially planned for 25 prospects, we had to cap the event at 75 due to overwhelming interest. The attendees were highly engaged and had a lot of interest in our host company's product. One attendee even said, 'I never attend demos, but offering whiskey made it impossible to say no! What a great event!' Ready to achieve the same success?

One of my favourite things is when a "they'll never go for this" idea comes off. After a year of looking at very specific agencyland topics I wanted to do something different with the Alliance of Independent Agencies commercial group* and they let me. Looking outwards, what can agency leaders learn from their counterparts in other people-based industries? Say a restaurant group; a record label or as is the case in this first session... a football club. Expect new approaches to solving familiar challenges. Sign up below #agencylife #footballbusiness #ceo *That or it's the most convoluted approach to sourcing discounts on dining, tunes and tickets ever - you decide.

Stop by our booth at the HSMAI Commercial Strategy Conference to learn more about how we are changing the game when it comes to content marketing and revenue attribution! Looking forward to seeing you there.

Second venue in one location opened last month , on the same street 🚀 Footfall, is one of the most important elements when selecting location of your business. Questions to ask yourself: ☑️ Will you naturally generate customers based on your location? ☑️ What can you do different to stand out from the other bars and restaurants within walking distance from your location? ☑️ How can those bars and restaurants compliment what you offer and your menu? We have partnered with others bars within a stone throw away. Why? Because they offer something we can’t. We don’t do kitchens, or food. The overheads are too expensive and within this market it’s quite risky. We partner with other local business owners close by to provide our customers top quality food while they’re enjoying the best drinks on the street. This helps us have sell out Bottomless brunches, without having to worry about the food! How do we do this? Join our group in the bio!

Ask any sales or marketing professional… Launching new products and building new territories is not easy. Over a year ago my husband, Dean Peaple , joined this company to launch a new division of window coverings. Through operations and production challenges, changes in leadership and the minimal marketing support common with ‘startups’ - my husband never gave up! I have watched him be tenacious and creative, using common sense, guerilla tactics, and teamwork- always finding a way. I know the road is long, - and I admire my husbands patience and perseverance. When you work hard and see a reward with a Win like this- you have to celebrate! Most of us are so busy doing the work we do- we forget to take time to celebrate the wins. It’s as easy as 123… 1. Take a moment to reflect on your wins 2. Be proud of your accomplishments, 3. Share your gratitude with those that helped you achieve your goals. Celebrate the Wins!
