Communication

Have you ever found yourself at odds with someone over a misunderstanding, or simply “out of the the loop” based on poor communication? I know I have. In fact, it may be safe assume that many of life’s problems come from poor communication. Based on the this idea, we have worked hard to optimize a business model that “closes the loop”. Now, you’re probably thinking, “this is obvious.” However, sometimes even the most obvious ideas are the most overlooked or simply ignored.

What is Closed-Loop Marketing?

Closed-loop marketing is a way in which sales teams report to marketing about what happened to leads that they received, which helps marketing understand their best and worst lead sources. This creates a situation where the visitor-to-lead and lead-to-customer process is more efficient and effective.

Your ROI will benefit

1. As a business, ROI (return on investment) is foremost.
2. Closed-loop marketing makes it possible to provide a SLA (service level agreement), which sets forth tangible goals for a marketing campaign. This boosts ROI.
