Nearbound Marketing: A Solution for Ongoing Sales Challenges

There’s more than one way to skin a cat... and to get a lead. Try this strategy on for size and see how it works for your business!

You may have heard of inbound marketing and outbound marketing. But have you ever heard of  nearbound marketing?

On this episode of Straight Talk!, Ed Marsh, a growth and strategy consultant and the founder and principal of Consilium Global Business Advisors, discusses how difficult it is to even meet with a potential lead nowadays, let alone convert one into a sale, and how traditional sales techniques are working less and less.

In response, he introduces what he calls “nearbound marketing” as an alternative solution that can help get a foot in a potential customer’s door—which in return could produce more convertible leads.

To learn more about Marsh’s solution, watch or listen to the complete episode of Straight Talk! below.
