iDigress with Troy Sandidge

Do you want to generate more growth for your business? Of course, you do. But the biggest thing holding companies back from achieving their desired growth comes down to perspective. How do you perceive your marketing, messaging, and marketplace? How does your ideal client profile (ICP) perceive your marketing, messaging, offering, and brand?Have you considered you've been focused on the wrong ICP, which is hindering you from achieving the growth, sales, and benchmarks you need?Are you doing too much inbound when you should be doing more outbound or vice versa? The reality is many are running their marketing/sales operations like driving a car that needs an oil change, new tires, new fluids, and has a bad transmission but think just keeping gas in the tank is enough to get to their destination. Sadly, it's not!

Who in your organization is genuinely responsible for growth? Is it marketing? Is it sales? Do you know?  Is your organization even running and tracking things in an optimal way for you to know what's working and what's not?The reality is that many teams, departments, and groups can be doing their jobs but aren't making any progress because they are not doing their jobs as individuals that complement the strengths and negate weaknesses for the organization's greater good.I keep it raw and real (and a little edgy) in this episode asking a lot of questions and hoping it compels you to truly think about your teams, the way you do marketing, your sales tactics, and the overall health of your business.Beyond The Episode Gems:See what the HubSpot CRM can do for your business at HubSpot.comSee all of the podcasts on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkWatch Agency Accelerated Episode: How To Prove ROI To Agency ClientsDiscover how Agorapulse is helping businesses measure the impact of social media and prove ROILearn more and join the Social Media Pulse Community for freeGet Two Free Months of Agorapulse on me: Social.Agorapulse.com/FindTroyBuy my book Strategize Up to get the blueprint for maximizing the growth potential of your business.#####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews• Get Strategy Solutions & Services: FindTroy.com•  Buy Troy's Book, Strategize Up: FindTroy.com/Strategize-Up•  Follow Troy on Twitter: Twitter.com/FindTroy•  Follow Troy on LinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/in/FindTroy
