HARDER! CHEAPER! BETTER!

When it comes to marketing, we as business owners and managers often search out the easiest option first.

The truth is, we have been tricked into thinking that effective marketing is flashy ads, radio jingles and glossy brochures.

More often than not, the things that actually work are often cheaper to implement and are the things that we would rather not do because they are hard work - like phone calls to past customers and seminars.

EVERY BUSINESS HAS THE SAME 5 BUILDING BLOCKS FOR SUCCESS

It's not uncommon for business owners to get stuck in a pattern where they are focused on marketing that is only about lead generation.

The truth is, it can be quite hard to create a massive increase in new enquiry year in and year out. A well-rounded marketing approach requires you to focus on more than just generating new leads.

ARE YOUR SALES PEOPLE AND MARKETING ACTIVITIES GENERATING RELIABLE, CONSISTENT AND REPEATABLE RESULTS?

ARE YOUR SALES PEOPLE AND MARKETING ACTIVITIES GENERATING RELIABLE, CONSISTENT AND REPEATABLE RESULTS?

One mistake many businesses make, is pinning all their hopes on "my next ad will bring 'em all in". The truth is, an increase in enquiry is only a small part in the equation of increasing sales and profitability.

If you have an increase in enquiry, it does not necessarily mean you are going to have more sales. Your ability to sell is directly correlated to your success, so it pays to invest the time in the development of strong selling and marketing strategies that work together, that are easy for your team to follow and provide reliable, consistent and repeatable results.

  • What our clients say

    Holloway's unique approach to helping their clients across both the sales and marketing functions is unlike anyone else I've worked with.

    Not only have they helped us overhaul and streamline our marketing strategy and collateral including web, digital, print and social, but they have also been integral in mapping out and documenting our sales system and processes. Together we have successfully configured our CRM setup including automations and reporting to help provide much needed visibility over our end-to-end lead tracking and sales performance. By helping us bring together the sales and marketing functions correctly, we now have a powerful set of strategies, systems and business support tools to help drive our own growth plans

  • What our clients say

    We are seeing results with a much more focused sales process. It feels good to be winning.

    The team at Holloways did a great job when marketing to us. Their approach to growing their own customer base made us think ″well if they can do the same for us, let's get on board″. We like their integrated approach; they quickly became part of the team and help drive our sales and marketing strategy as well as keep us on track.

    We are seeing results with a much more focused sales process. This wasn't the easy way out for us, it does involve change and effort, which was made clear going in. It feels good to be winning.

9 Common Questions About Working with Us

So, who are Holloway Hudson Burgess (HHB)?

HHB is a unique Business Growth Consultancy founded in 1986. The company was formed to help privately owned businesses achieve measurable growth through their sales and marketing efforts. We help businesses across New Zealand and Australia get consistent, reliable and sustainable improvements from their sales teams and marketing.

Unlike others who try to occupy this space HHB have shown proven expertise in all three disciplines required to increase profitable sales (1) sales systemisation and coaching, (2) measurable marketing, and (3) strategic yet practical business advice.

Why does my business need HHB?

There are three parts to your business, 'Getting the work', 'Doing the work' and 'Getting the money'. If you want reliable long-term growth 'Getting the work' needs to be just as systemised as 'Doing the work' and 'Getting the money'. In most businesses this isn't the case which is why companies hire HHB to achieve long-term sustainable growth. To make that happen we systemise your sales processes, regularly coach your sales and customer service staff and test and measure your marketing until you are spending less for every sale it brings in.

When getting the work is systemised you can turn the workflow on, and off as needed. This allows you to stay ahead of your competitors and reduces the risks normally associated with investing in growth - you can go ahead and invest knowing you have control over how much work comes in. Accountants love our tested methods of making growth more consistent, reliable and sustainable.

How are HHB able to help businesses, even those already at the top of their game, to sell measurably more?

The answer to that is quite simple: We do what sports coaches do to help the best athletes get even better - they study what the athlete is already doing right and get them doing more of it. In the example of HHB, your business is the athlete and we work alongside the people in your company who already sell the most. We draw out their strengths (which are often unknown to them) and get other team members doing what they do - then we coach them to make sure they keep doing the things that work.

Plus, we use low cost marketing to tell the selling stories your best people already tell. Marketing always works better when it says to lots of people; what your best people say to one person at a time.

What results have other businesses seen?

  • Reductions in workload, better bottom lines, sales teams that are easier to manage and deliver more consistent results - and the ability to make informed marketing decisions.

  • A New Zealand farm equipment company experienced a year-on-year growth in sales of 25% after we systemised their sales approach, coached their people used testing to uncover the things that now make their marketing work better.

  • A New Zealand engineering company achieved record sales when we systemised their sales approach and coached their reps.

  • An Australian swimming pool manufacturer had us coach salespeople across their 37 dealers and saw sales increase by 12% when their industry was experiencing a downturn. They also experienced significant improvements in all key areas of their marketing - their website is now the most popular swimming pool website in Australia, their social media generates enormousweb traffic and their 'How to Buy a Pool' Guide, generates record enquiry.

  • A small New Zealand company selling broadbandsatellites to farmers with poor internet saw sales go from three units per month, to ninety when we systemised their sales approach, coached their team and improved their marketing.

  • A group of privately owned NZ retail stores saw their sales team achieving a consistent approach and their marketing spend reduce

What do you mean our marketing will be measurable?

Do you get frustrated with marketing measurement charts that talk of 'impressions', 'click-throughs' and other metrics that are almost impossible to relate to your bottom-line results? HHB measure the things that are actually important in business - the number of quality new leads your marketing is generating, how many of those leads your team are converting to a sale and whether the average value of each sale is increasing.

We'll do that measuring with you. Our teams will work together to measure the five areas that are most important to the growth of your business: The number of new leads you are able to talk to, how many of them you convert, the average size of your sales, repeat business and referrals, and your bottom line. Then each month we'll decide together what improvements still need to be made to both your sales approach and your marketing.

How will I find the time?

How serious are you about achieving change? Great results aren't easy to achieve, otherwise everyone would be achieving them. But they are possible with the right approach and effort. The first few months of the change will be the hardest, not because of extra work, but because the tasks and the thinking around your sales and marketing approach will be different. We'll teach your people to stop doing the things that don't work and start doing the things that do. You won't work more, you'll work differently.

Will I have one point of contact at HHB?

Yes, that's imperative to getting the best results from the HHB system - you will have your own HHB Consultant. That person will produce your sales and marketing framework and then carry out the work necessary to achieve your goals - your consultant will systemise your sales approach with your team, coach and support your people regularly and plan, write and coordinate your marketing including social media, digital, web, video, and print. And where appropriate, radio and TV.

Your consultant has been rigorously trained in all HHB systems, is expert at delivering them and is already involved working with other HHB clients.

Your consultant will meet with you weekly to plan the work for that week and report on the last. Then during the rest of the week they will work with your people and on your marketing to complete the projects they plan with you in the weekly meeting
