Your Communication Strategy

Your first communication to Paula immediately captures her attention. Inside the hanging file folder is your business card, a letter to her and a very engaging report that positions you as a valuable resource. Your letter states that throughout the year you will be sending her information which will help educate her about your industry and the trends that will affect her company.

The Communication Strategy

We are not primarily trying to sell. Our goal is to help you stay top of mind with your prospects. Your prospect or client will receive communications from you that educate them, give them insight or helps them make better decisions relating to your product or service. They will be much more likely to seek you out when they are ready to buy.

We will spend 10-30 hours with you formulating your prospect communication strategy for the next 12 months. We will use your words, personality, voice, strategy and handwriting in developing the content. We will make sure it gets delivered to your prospect or client on a consistent basis and in a personal, non-marketing way.

Most long term sales are the result of building relationships with your clients beginning with a casual conversation and building a bridge of communications. OSA facilitates an easy way to maintain this relationship between you and your prospect who will become your client, the OSA way!

You will be working with the creator of the OSA service, Craig Harrell, and others to develop your strategy. He is the President of Rainmaker Marketing and will take a personal interest in helping you to achieve your lead generation and new business goals and objectives. As a 20-year sales veteran he understands what it's like to be on the frontline.
