Typical challenges faced by professional services companies

1

Sales depends on personal networks

New business is generated through personal contacts, reputation and the network of the founders or senior consultants. A systematic, repeatable sales process often does not exist. If partners leave or reach capacity limits, there is no basis for further growth.
2

Marketing without measurable value contribution

Marketing activities run parallel to personal sales instead of providing targeted support. The contribution to customer acquisition remains unclear, budgets are questioned. There is a lack of dovetailing between thought leadership, content and specific sales processes.
3

Long, trust-based sales cycles

Complex consulting services require trust to be built up over months. Decisions involve several stakeholders on the client side and are delayed accordingly. Without structured touchpoints and consistent communication, opportunities fizzle out - or are taken over by competitors who are more present.

Our approach to professional services

inboundfriends has been working with consulting firms and professional services in the DACH region and international markets for many years. We know the special features of the industry from practical experience: personalized sales via partner networks, the need to build trust and the challenge of communicating intangible expertise in a tangible way.

Together, we develop a strategy that dovetails marketing and personal sales. Thought leadership is systematically developed and content is orchestrated along the customer journey. The result: marketing activities that make a recognizable value contribution for the organization and go hand in hand with the partners' sales processes.

On this basis, the operational implementation follows: HubSpot implementation, development of marketing automation and continuous demand generation. Success is measured by pipeline growth, conversion rates and the quality of the opportunities gained.
