EXCERPT Ask yourself these questions: - Are you afraid that new innovative companies will take away your business with a disruptive customer acquisition strategy? - Did you see a decrease in effectiveness of your current sales or customer acquisition strategy? - Is your company struggling with its first and second steps on social media? Or are you quite active online, but not really generating the expected additional revenue? - Have you noticed that some marketing actions are able to generate a lot of interest and engagement, but you don't have a clue how to replicate this result? - Are your marketing and sales departments not teaming up, acting together and therefore not reaching their full potential? - Do you have the impression that sales and marketing are separate businesses? - Have you heard of growth hacking? If so, do you believe it is a marketing technique only for technology startups? Did you answer yes to any of the questions above? Then you're on the right track.
