Danielle Croce, Commercial Director at Intastite said:

"The workshop was a great opportunity for the management team to get a deeper understanding of what marketing is, and how each team member can contribute to the overall strategy no matter what their role. This could be as little as contacting existing clients, upselling new features or providing knowledge share for further business development opportunities."

"We Have Integrated The My Marketing Button App To Ensure That Our Marketing Activity Is Targeted Towards Achieving Our Objectives"

"iTCHYROBOT worked with Margaret at Red Button Marketing & Training as part of a workshop to give us an external perspective on our marketing strategy and we have integrated the My Marketing Button App to ensure that our marketing activity is kept focused and tracked to keep us targeted towards achieving our objectives.

We hope to roll the app out to the team to encourage co-ordination and a bit of healthy competition."

"We Took Away Action Points For How We Can Achieve Our Marketing Goals"

Mia Harding, Marketing Officer at RTC North said:

"This Strategic Marketing Training Course from Red Button Marketing has really made me aware of what we are currently doing and what we still need to do, taking away action points for how we can achieve our marketing goals."

"We Have Seen An Increase In Our Meetings With Prospective Clients And We Are Delighted That We Are Reaching More People With Our Message”

Paul Drake, Commercial Director at Sapere Software said:

“At Sapere we are focused on supporting businesses with amazing software solutions and were keen to reach out to more businesses to help them with our expertise. We knew we needed dedicated resources to undertake cold outreach work, so we employed candidates who had values that aligned well with our business that also had a “can do” attitude and a willingness to pick up the phone.

As a software business, we are specialists in our field but we knew we needed support when it came to cold outreach and marketing expertise, so, with no hesitation we reached out to Red Button Marketing Training who specialise in marketing process and telemarketing training. We engaged with Mags at Red Button Marketing Training who put together a bespoke training package that would offer ongoing support to our team. She focused on outreach techniques that meant our team had more in their “backpack” to help them on each call. Since our work with Mags, we have seen an increase in our meetings with prospective clients and we are delighted that we are reaching more people with our message.”

"I Feel I Can Plan An Efficient Marketing Strategy
Broken Down Into Manageable Tasks"

A key takeaway for me from the Marketing Planning workshop is that Marketing is not just down to one person in the business – the whole company is involved in some way however big or small. Marketing can be broken down and managed with simple tasks.

I’m a very visual person so I think the My Marketing Button software will help me get tasks done more efficiently and keep me on target. With the help of my new knowledge and the software access I feel I can plan an efficient marketing strategy broken down into manageable tasks.

"The Support I’ve Had From Mags Since Has Also Been Incredible"

Tees Components' Beth Martin, Contracts & Marketing Officer said:

"The button methodology really hit the nail on the head of how marketing within a business goes beyond Social Media etc and actually encompasses much of your day to day activities.
For me, the session with Mags was so beneficial because it allowed me to join the dots and gave me tools to be able to explain each individual's role within an overall marketing plan.
As a result, we’re experiencing what is potentially the busiest time the business has seen and has helped us develop a strategy where we can be consistent in our messaging and output even when driving sales may not be such a priority.
The support I’ve had from Mags since has also been incredible. Having someone to chat through things with and giving an external point of view has been so helpful."

They Had Gained New Knowledge & Insight Into How To Set Out & Create A Sustainable Marketing Plan For Growth

"We engaged the services of Margaret Bradshaw of Red Button Marketing and Training to deliver content on our Pitch Perfect programme. The programme is about preparing businesses for investment.

Margaret delivered a session on the subject of developing an effective marketing plan. This was in order to both offer a connected process that would underpin business growth but also to showcase to investors that they were ready for the next stage and armed with a powerful and clear way to make best use of any investment received. In addition, the content gave delegates a way to showcase their businesses to potential investors as there was time spent on reaching a target market.

The session was well received by the delegates. They said that they had gained new knowledge and insight into how to set out and create a sustainable marketing plan for growth."
