The Thoughtful Entrepreneur 2156 - Sustainable Sales Mastery with The Diamond Group's Theresa Bassett
Strategies for Small Business Growth: Insights from Theresa Bassett
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group, to explore the strategies small business owners can use to scale beyond the seven-figure revenue threshold. With her extensive experience in sales and marketing, Theresa offers actionable insights into the challenges many entrepreneurs face as they aim for sustainable growth. She dives deep into the complexities of creating effective sales and marketing systems that drive predictable results.
The Importance of a Structured Approach to Business Growth
Theresa introduces Momentum, a multi-phase system developed by The Diamond Group to help small businesses build structured, sustainable marketing systems. The process begins with goal setting, market research, and strategy development to establish a clear direction. In the execution phase, businesses focus on creating high-quality content, managing campaigns across multiple channels, and monitoring performance using analytics tools. This structured approach ensures businesses stay organized and aligned with their growth goals, making it easier to scale operations while maintaining control over their marketing efforts.
Theresa emphasizes the importance of building a collaborative team to accelerate business growth. She highlights the need for entrepreneurs to focus on the “who” rather than the “how,” trusting their team to handle specific tasks. By bringing together professionals such as strategic account managers, marketing coordinators, and digital creative specialists, businesses can delegate effectively and maintain momentum. This collaboration enables business owners to concentrate on strategic decisions, rather than getting bogged down by day-to-day tasks, which ultimately leads to more efficient and impactful growth.
