It's data. Data is king. Data is knowledge. Without data, how can you move your company forward?

Let's first take a look at the 'buyer's journey' and how it's changing right in front of us.

The way we engage with our buyers online needs to change. Currently, the foodservice equipment industry is disregarding two very important phases of the buyer's journey, which hinders our ability to sell. We must engage with buyers well before they are ready for a quote, but how?

TMC Digital Media is not for every foodservice business. Let's take a close look at some of the keys to successful partnerships with our clients.

Foodservice manufacturers rely on their reps and distribution networks to sell. But when reps and distributors are responsible for selling 20-30+ different brands, if not hundreds or even thousands, how does your factory ensure your products and solutions stay top-of-mind in this über competitive foodservice industry? 

Today's marketing and sales playbook has changed. In fact, at TMC we now call it a cookbook. Gone are the days of cold-calling and interrupting your prospects. Today's marketers and salespeople need to work smarter, leveraging online tools and social media in order to engage with buyers on their own time. ABC (Always Be Closing) is now ABH (Always Be Helping). Just this morning, I read another article about how the digital marketing medium is outpacing traditional advertising like TV, etc.

The New Year is almost upon us. That means it's time to look back on the previous year and to look forward to what's in store for 2016.
