Values
1. The most important thing is not leads — yet leads confirm what matters most
You can always invent a conversion funnel — a sales funnel. And in every internet marketing course they say that the most important thing for any business is to get leads with it. This shows up, for example, in traffic management or content marketing.
But why does a business need leads if its only goal is leads?
A person does not live just to buy, and that’s it. A person lives to leave a trace in life. To feel that they were here, lived, existed. Everything they buy and consume is help along that path.
Working with us, you get to understand the nature of the souls of the people who need a service or a product from your brand.
By the quantity and quality of leads we confirm how well we have understood the people who need your brand.
2. “Consumer” is the wrong name
Consumption is one way human life expresses itself. We like the word “lead” — it describes a situation where a person is interested in a brand’s products or services.
But we also put this meaning inside “lead” — “people who need your brand”.
And the more leads there are, and the better they are — the better we have “brought two lonely souls together”.
Your brand and the people who will be grateful that you do what you do.
3. People are the centre of all our exploration
Every ad campaign we set up, every piece of content marketing we invent and deliver. Every marketing strategy. Every niche and every brand within that niche is an opportunity to get to know ourselves and to get to know others.
By getting to know others — we get to know ourselves.
And this process is strictly cumulative.
Because it improves each time.
We learn about people through brand owners or decision-makers when we interview them about brand values and the problems the product or service solves.
We learn about people when we gather information to embed it into the brand’s marketing strategy.
We learn about people when we map out the conversion funnel for acquiring a lead.
We learn when we create ad creatives and launch them in advertising to test whether they work.
When we get numbers that confirm or disprove our models.
When we come up with content topics and then analyse how they perform within the algorithms.
When we analyse the stages of implementing our strategy.
And each time we invent new tools and ways to understand a person. We have become aware of our path and are moving towards innovations we will still bring to the market.
And everyone learns who works with us. We share our experience and grow it through collaboration.
We want to be outside of time, because we want to stay in the market for a long time.
In the darkest times, like now, and in the brightest times too — which will surely come one day.
4. What our hommage is about
Sales = love*truth² is that very hommage (from French hommage — gratitude, a tribute) we are talking about. And it points to the famous formula E=mc².
If you didn’t know: nothing in this formula is accidental, and everything is in its place.
The formula says: a body’s energy (E) equals its mass (m) multiplied by the square of the speed of light (c²). The speed of light squared is a kind of “conversion factor” that shows how much mass can be converted into energy and back again.
How to read our interpretation? Sales are made of love for people multiplied by truth squared. For love we stand on humanism, and for truth — on a scientific approach.
Truth is the “conversion factor” for love that turns our effort into a sale.
That is how “sales” become a fair exchange of energy between a business and its client. No hard selling.
Love for people is a humanistic goal. A product and a business must be useful and needed by people. That is possible if a brand finds the language of “love” with its audience. Then the client answers with “love” in return.
The scientific approach is needed so we do not live under the illusion that this connection is working. We need to be confident that, together with the brand, we really are trying to care for the audience, and that we have actually found the right audience that needs that care.
