Rob Rutkowski's Consulting Portfolio



Fierce Selling Systems builds top-to-bottom automated growth campaigns, using my unique Fierce Selling System.  We create and implement the system design, creative, strategic messaging, integration with sales, operations consulting, management consulting, and all analytics and tracking.

Few marketing companies take such a comprehensive approach.  We offer deep business, marketing, sales and advertising experience, integrated for one result: bottom line growth.

Our consulting work is the equivalent of a full Marketing department, including a VP of Marketing and VP of Sales, at fraction of the cost.

We sometimes take on copy writing projects, but only when we are convinced the marketing staff can design a proper campaign.  Sadly, this is not often.

Complete Growth Campaign 1:

Paul Sheriff and Associates, Inc (PDSA) Campaign

Brief:
PDSA sells high end consulting solutions for custom applications.  They have a sterling reputation and are headed by a 'celebrity' CEO that is a regular speaker and author.  We designed Paul Sheriff himself as the very visible spokesperson for his capable team.  Fierce Selling created an ongoing system to first reveal the problems with custom software development, and second present the ways PDSA solves them.  This leaves PDSA as the obvious choice.

Challenges: PDSA projects start at $250,000 and go into the millions.  There were many variables outside our control for contracts to close (client's budget approval, managerial bias, business timing).  Our strategy puts PDSA constantly in front of application developers and application managers, so at any given time some prospects are ready to begin the buying process.  We provide an abundance of evidence and tools to position PDSA as the unchallenged expert.  Also, we continually feed the house list (500 - 1000 new developers and application managers self enroll each month, all automatically).


Step 1: Lead Generators to feed house list and constantly trap ready-to-start-buying prospects



Lead Generator:
Trade Show Booth with multiple booth headlines and full strategy before, during and after show; traps 100 - 500 new names for house list.
