This is the question on a lot of business owners and CEO's lips when they are looking at how they grow their business. The number one thing that needs to be addressed is:
‍
How to maintain and grow your existing customer base, whilst at the same time attracting new customers to your business?
‍‍

The second question is then...
‍
What is the most effective channel use? and what will deliver the best ROI for my business? 
‍‍

We have traditionally invested heavily in expensive sales teams to go out and promote our products and services to customers by phone and face to face. The landscape is certainly shifting.  The day of the 'cold call' is effectively dead, with this resulting in very poor engagement. Our customers are becoming more sophisticated and as a result we need to adapt our business models if we are going to compete.
