Events as Part of Go-To-Market Strategy with Stefan Slattery

Events are a key element of the marketing mix. Our guest on this episode has unique insights into ALL of the elements of marketing strategy and spend, and on this one we touch on a lot... Mostly addressing how events play a part in different ways to driving sales and visibility.

Learn about...
- How in-person events provide valuable opportunities to connect with professionals, expand networks, and learn from others in the industry. They are crucial for building relationships and driving sales.
- That having a well-documented tracking and reporting system is important for attributing success to events. Understanding the impact events have on the customer journey, even if the sales correlation is not immediate, is key. Collaboration between marketing and sales is crucial for effective follow-up and nurturing of leads generated at events.
- Events should be viewed as opportunities to create personalized experiences and make meaningful connections with potential customers. It's essential to focus on providing value and building brand loyalty rather than just selling. Adaptability is also crucial, as not every event or strategy will lead to immediate success; finding the right timing and approach that aligns with the target audience is super important.
