Are you misusing your marketing dollars by being unable to effectively integrate various marketing tactics?

Offer a consistent message, at the correct frequency, with the correct mix of offers to get prospects interested. Lead generation is a multi-step process that takes multiple touches to draw in prospects. And not all prospects respond to the same message, so mixing it up will give you more opportunities to get the attention of prospects.

Are you misusing your marketing dollars by engaging in activities that do not produce ROI or are considered "Vanity Exercises"?

Running an ad in your local paper may reach 19,000 people; but if they are not part of your target market, it is a wasted investment. If you have a local office and are trying to build community credibility, this may be an approach for you. but targeting your ad campaigns to the type of clients you want will narrow the focus and should increase your ROI.

Are you misusing your marketing dollars through a failure to communicate your value?

During any type of communications with prospects, you are being evaluated as to what it would be like to work with you. Helping the prospect understand the value you offer is the same before he/she becomes a client, as when he/she actually does become your client. Consider every message you send: written, verbal and non-verbal.
