Ask me how to solve for your market engagement challenges in customer contact outsourcing.
I’ve been trading as LDB London since 2003, working with CX BPOs to take their story to market, and bring the market to them.
Some Words About Me
I’m fascinated by customer matters, because ultimately, the customer matters. The niche operators in the customer management sector get this, but often lack the expertise and experience of joining the dots in their networks – across colleagues, partners, and industry bodies to make sure their stories are heard. That’s where I come in.
The Orchestral Market Engagement Model
There are many channels to tell a corporate story. Like instruments in an orchestra, when they play together or in different combinations, it has to be with purpose, reflective of what has come before and what’s coming next. The Orchestral Model of Market Engagement is a flexible approach which seeks to apply robust market engagement techniques to deliver quantifiable results while articulating the function as an investment activity in the future health of the business, not simply in-year budgets.
Areas Of Expertise
Working in sales and marketing roles for more than 30 years I’ve seen BPO acronyms come and go, sales philosophies trend and disappear, and numerous technology solutions rise and fall that propose to support a company’s growth and its marketing and business development teams. But fundamentally, it’s still all about relationships – with partners, colleagues, media and clients or prospects in the markets served. Core components to building these relationships include:
- Social selling
- Content
- Awards programmes
- Events & conferences
- Networking
- Management & measurement
