sales
marketing Aligning Sales
and Marketing
The sales journey for a customer is not one driven by what we
might like to define as marketing and then sales, but by a continual
five-step process from Unaware through to Purchase. Seamlessly
integrating the different stages of a sales journey for the customer
makes it a lot easier for them to buy from start to finish.
At FortuneWest we have helped many of our customers refine
their own sales journey to align sales and marketing. In addition to
the headline result of achieving more sales, the benefits can be far
reaching, reducing the cost of sale, directly tying marketing activity
to sales performance and increasing profitability.

A taste of the
Fortunewest difference:
proprietary methodologies
To command your market you have to look both interesting and safe
Buyers first look for “Interesting”. What strikes the buyer, in their consideration phase, as
interesting could include factors such as innovative technology, a special offer or even healthy
company finances.
However, as time passes, and as the buyer moves steadily closer to making a commitment
to purchase, another impulse starts to come to the fore: Is it safe? Buyers also want “Safe”.
Convincing answers are needed to questions such as: Who else is using it? Is the vendor
credible? How does this product compare with others? Is there a warranty? Is the company
financially healthy? And more!
Sales are lost when your company or product is not convincingly interesting and safe.
FortuneWest implements the appropriate balance of interesting and safe messaging throughout
the lifecycle of a sale. FortuneWest safe initiatives are designed to convey predictable outcomes
and a tangible view of the future to make buyers feel safer.

The power of brand
to increase margins
and value of your
company
If product is King and customer service is Queen, marketing is Emperor. How you
present your company and its products to market, how well you communicate
with your audience, and how you invest in your customer’s experience will
determine your success.
But first: generate market intelligence to create
winning strategies and make the most of your sales
and marketing programmes
Winning business strategies, crafty marketing plans and natty designs do not
suddenly emerge from a void, no matter if some talented soul occasionally
dreams up a great creative idea overnight!
To help you make the most of your business development and marketing
programmes, FortuneWest has a number of research and market mapping
programmes, to ensure your business development activity will generate a full
return on investment. Discovery > Insight > Experience > Connect > Ignite

Creating the right assets
to help buyers on their
5-step sales journey
FortuneWest helps companies improve marketing strategy by
identifying when, how and why the market looks for products, to
improve sales by making it easier for prospects to decide and buy.
The way people buy has fundamentally changed in recent years and people resist overt sales
techniques. You will find it refreshing to adopt a simple, practical approach to marketing and
its relationship with sales.
An objective for any company is to become well known within its sphere of influence, whether
regional, national or international. A company also needs to build understanding of its purpose,
capability, products and services, which cannot be achieved in‘one hit’.
FortuneWest helps its customers take prospects from being UNAWARE of who you are and
what you do, to a state where they are AWARE of your company or product names. Next, we
create information or persuasion that is required for COMPREHENSION, to help someone
to understand what it is you do and why? Different tactics again are required to generate
CONVICTION that you are the right supplier to meet their needs, and more yet to reach the
point where they PURCHASE?
Each of these steps in a prospect’s relationship with you is different and requires a marketing
strategy that moves them from one stage to the next. Marketing and sales must work together to
facilitate the prospect’s progress from unknown person to customer, from unaware to purchase.
