In case you missed it…. these are the highlights

Who are your agency’s best fit customers (as defined by Products they sell and markets they want to sell into)?

The Selling Factory’s best-fit customers are services companies looking to sell their products in the United States.

What sets your agency apart from other Sales Agencies when it comes to serving your ideal customer?

The Selling Factory sets itself apart from other sales agencies by employing 100% college students, with over 600 students having worked for the company to date. Based primarily at the University of Florida, they have expanded to other universities across the Southeast, and are exploring further scaling across the country.

What are the Top 3 tips you would give Buyers to increase the probability of achieving the result they want with your agency?

• Prioritize working with a Sales Agency that operates with integrity and authenticity. Be upfront about your expectations and seek a partner who is honest about the realities of a marketing strategy. Aim for a long-term relationship rather than constantly switching marketing plans.

“…Be alert of salespeople who simply say “yes! to everything – it’s a red flag for inauthencity…”

Choose a Sales Agency that maintains genuine communication and is transparent about their capabilities and what they can and cannot do. Embrace honest partnerships that build trust and long-term success, rather than settling for short-term gratification that lacks substance.

“…A Sales Agency that truly values your business will be upfront and straightforward, even when they have to say “no”…”

• Align with your Sales Agency on the expected ROI and the true selling cycle of your business. Understand that different industries have varying selling cycles, so don’t make hasty decisions based on short-term results; instead, work closely with the agency to establish a clear understanding of your business’s unique selling cycle. This mutual understanding will help prevent premature termination of the partnership and increase the probability of achieving the desired results.
