Scaling your business to $1M and beyond requires serious marketing savvy.

You’ve got to know how to get your audience’s attention to consistently improve your visibility, attract new leads, and drive conversions that boost your profitability. That’s why it’s SO important to understand the 6 Pillars of Marketing Success.

When you build your marketing strategy on the 6 pillars of marketing success, you’re going to see better results from your marketing initiatives, better ROI on your advertising dollars, and more growth for your business.

A solid foundation for your marketing starts with:

1. Brand Strategy and Positioning: Successful marketing relies on strong, authentic branding that appeals to your ideal customer. You’re customizing every aspect of your marketing, including color palette, fonts, graphic design, and verbiage that speaks directly to your target audience. Then you must position your marketing message in a way that reaches the right people at the right time. That means strong messaging and CTAs that tell your audience who you are, what you do, and what you want THEM to do.
   
   
2. Lead Generation Funnels: You can’t maintain consistent growth without a steady stream of qualified leads. Use your CRM to create compelling sales funnels and lead magnets and connect with prospective customers.
   
   
3. Lead Nurturing and Conversions: Attracting new leads is only half the battle. Once you’ve connected with a prospective customer, you have to nurture that relationship through communication and engagement. You must understand every step of the buying journey and meet clients at every point in order to drive conversions.
   
   
4. Client Relations: Customer satisfaction is the key component to sustainable growth and long-term success. You have to take care of your clients, answer their questions, educate them about new products or services, and solve any problems that may arise. The more invested you are in your customers, the more loyal they’ll be to your business.
   
   
5. Partnerships: Nobody gets to the top alone! Collaborating with strategic and referral partners boosts your brand visibility, expands your reach, and benefits both of you. Referrals are worth their weight in gold, so partner with other entrepreneurs to sing each other’s praises and enhance everyone’s success.
   
   
6. Analytics and Organization:  Analytics drive your decision making and help your business improve. You should be tracking your numbers in your finances, your CRM, your program management, your team management, your social media, and every area that supports your overall marketing goals. Your analytics are going to measure your success, show you what’s working, and show you the areas that need improvement. If you don’t use your metrics to take the pulse of your marketing efforts and optimize your results, you’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.
