Imperative # 7 - Unlock Your Culture
What is Revenue .Digital?

According to an Economist Intelligence Unit survey, high-level marketing executives worldwide intend to reclassify their Marketing function as a Revenue driver.

Today's organizations are at a cross roads of change as it relates to how they invest, manage and monitor their efforts to find new customers.  From the marketing, sales and customer service requirements to managing the culture of the business,  growth oriented organizations need to integrate, iterate and innovate the entire experience they offer their audiences .

In the past, these operated as silo's independent of one another in such a manner that the left hand never knew what the right hand was doing.  Sales operated on its own  plowing the fields while marketing was sprinkling the fields with seeds and rain. When the prospect became a customer, all the intelligence, conversations and trails of information and customer knowledge where either in someone's head or on a laptop.

Revenue growth strategies for success mandate that every business must operate as a singular unified service designed to integrate the entire fabric of marketing, sales and customer service such that the "experience" investment can be measured completely. 

While this may appear to be logical and evolutionary in advancing the modernization of the business, the greatest impediment is culture.  Culture is the mesh and fabric of success for every organization who want to achieve greater outcomes and growth.

Culture is the human equation that separates each business from its competitors and when operating in harmony, makes the business significantly more attractive to new buyers and trusted by customers alike.


Do you know the real cost of your sales and marketing?

It is a bold statement to suggest that culture is what holds back an organizations' success and sustainability, however it is a frank observation that only a few brands get it.

We are all familiar with the Disney experience. Disney manifests from the inside out, a culture of genuine purpose to serve guests in the most exquisite manner possible.  And while it is not an easy assignment to achieve, it is born in the DNA of the organization from the start. It is also the very foundation of companies like Amazon have figured out the formula for success lies in the culture.

So what does culture have to do with revenue and digital?  In The Age of the the Buyer, it is everything.  Buyers are no longer an old shirt you can put on to be comfortable in. Buyers are younger in their thinking, They take action on purpose and they know what they want when it is presented to them in a transparent, honest and in a manner that is trusted.  Those buyer actions mirror what the culture of the companies they chose to do business with, the ones they choose to continue to business with and the ones they choose to abandon. 

So how does digital play in culture.  It too is everything because everything is about being digital.  Your business must think digital from the start as a means to maximize the quality of the experience to your audiences... for doing it the old "manual" way is no longer sustainable. 

Simon Sinek's book "Start With Why"   - The purpose, cause, or belief that inspires you to do what you do is about defining the culture of business.

For those of you who understand the mechanics of a automotive engine,  the most important piece of the vehicle is the timing belt as it is the only way to and engine can operate. '

For those of you who are more familiar with computerization,  the only way acomputer can work is with a quartzclock that is part of the computer CPU.

Without a timing belt and without a clock crystal, the system cannot run itself.  It needs some form of governor to keep everything operating as required.
