MARKETING & REVENUE

Design and Build a Better Marketing System

Build marketing around how your customers actually buy and measure it against opportunities and revenue.

We start with the reality of your business and customers, and design a system around that.

This can range from lead generation and nurture, through to CRM, pipeline, attribution, sales handover and feedback.

Second Order can design and implement the complete solution, working with your existing software and platforms where they make sense, and recommending something new only where it genuinely adds value.

Why B2B businesses need a Fat Funnel

B2B sales cycles can take months or years. Over that time, buyers appear, go quiet, change roles, revisit the market and interact with your company in different ways.

Conventional funnels narrow, assuming that at each stage a prospect either moves forward or drops out. In B2B, the answer is often not yet.

A good marketing system keeps those relevant prospects in view. It creates sensible ways to nurture them between buying moments, while continuing to bring new prospects into the top of the funnel.

That is what we mean by a Fat Funnel: the middle gets stronger over time rather than constantly leaking potentially valuable prospects.

Done well, that creates a compounding advantage. Each campaign, event, piece of content and sales conversation can add to an audience the business understands and can continue working with.

The sooner you create your Fat Funnel, the faster the benefits will accrue.

THe SECOND oRDER DIFFERENCE

What is genuinely different about our approach?

A wider view of marketing

We don’t just look at different marketing stages in isolation. We follow the path from positioning and demand through to pipeline, sales and revenue. This means you get a marketing system that can be measured against real world outcomes.

Custom designed for you

There is no standard Second Order funnel to install and we are not tied to a particular agency model, marketing channel or software platform. We start with what is already working, how your customers actually buy and where the real gaps sit.

Built for the long term

Markets, customers and technology will change. We design the underlying processes and system to be robust enough for today and adaptable enough that you don’t need to start again every time a channel or platform changes.
