           When was the last time you reviewed your messaging across all of your communications channels?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;

            Delivering
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           clear value messages
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            for your products or services becomes more difficult when your marketing programs are siloed.  Social Media posts are disconnected from your email campaigns.  Your executive keynotes are not consistent with your sales pitch decks.  Are you being as clear as you need to be in a cluttered messaging world?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A strategic assessment of your integrated marketing campaigns may be required to refresh your messaging.  The consequences of having disjointed marketing messaging can result in having your target customers getting mixed signals as to the true value proposition of adopting your product.  If your customers get unclear messages, they will quickly move on from evaluating your company, before you even know it.  In today's product evaluation world, your customers do a tremendous amount of research before even contacting your company.  Your product or service does not even get a seat at the table, even if you think you have a superior technical and business solution for your target customers.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Whether you are looking for a Product Pivot, a Customer Segment Pivot, a Channels Pivot, a Environment Pivot or a Technology Pivot, Schapfel Tech Marketing Services offers a structured approach for you.  A free initial consultation is available.

           Is your marketing driving leads into and through the sales funnel?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Small and medium tech companies need to be highly effective in generating sales leads.  Do you seek to to be more effective in 2026?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The key metric is
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           low cost per lead acquisition
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           .  Broad, unfiltered list purchases increase the cost per lead and increase time to work the lead into a real opportunity.  Sales teams require well qualified leads.  The better the filter process, the faster the sales team can work the leads productively.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The key approach is
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           be intentional in your targeting approach
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           .  One size does not fit all.  Create and deliver clear, differentiated value propositions for each customer segment.  Evaluate how your value proposition resonates with your current customers, and map that into refining your messages into each target market segment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
