Tl;dr - Growing a manufacturing company is hard, and getting harder. There are loads of inspiring and creative people with expertise in various specific disciplines. They're valuable resources. The reality, though, is that success requires weaving many of those together. It's about doing many things well, and in a complementary way. That's the purpose of the Industrial Growth Institute Podcast - to help folks in the B2B industrial world take a journey across all of these critical facets - in theory and actionable detail. I hope you'll join me and my guests for that journey!
Tackling Industrial Revenue Growth in Detail
Industrial revenue growth used to be about hard work and sales technique. Marketing meant trade shows, printed brochures, journal ads and Yellow Pages (maybe some Thomas Register thrown in.)
Sales was built on a Day Timer, quarters for pay phones, cold calling and networking.
Today there are still trade shows, and hard work and sales technique are still differentiators. But not much else is the same.
It's time we're honest about that, and face the complexity of revenue growth full on.
That's why I'm launching the Industrial Growth Institute Podcast. Please check out the trailer below for more detail. You can access it in video on YouTube, or audio across all common podcast apps.
