January 2011

So we have started a sales program about 6 months ago and we are finally starting to see some real fruits of our labor. Rick Roberge of Kurlan and Associates was so happy with some of our recent progress that he asked if I would like to share this win on The Rainmaker Maker blog (a sales blog used by Rick to educate and help the non-skilled salesperson learn better sales skills).

Brandwise has seen some pretty amazing growth this year. Our website grade has improved 125% going from a 79 grade to 99. Grade your own site here Website Grader.

On top of this we have seen big improvements
in other areas as well:

• SEO Moz Rank: 250% improvement
• Traffic Rank: 433% improvement
• Indexed Pages: 518% improvement
• Being Found via Organic Searches: 138% improvement
• Blog Subscription: 240% improvement
• Reach (followers, leads, subscribers, etc): 129% improvement
• Visits to site compared to 2009: 280% improvement

This is all online marketing items. We have also seen a big increase in the type of clients and type of service we are now offering clients. Several of our clients are looking for more longterm strategic work. Because these clients are signing on longterm, they too are seeing more and better results from their marketing.
