Hi All,
I have the opportunity of receiving equity in and working for a company that supplies a product for energy infrastructure projects (I'm being intentionally vague on what the product is). I would be in charge of increasing sales through marketing and sales (details below). The customers are other businesses either electrical contractors or electrical equipment distributors.
Company Details and Background:
- In operation for 6 years
- Revenue = $1M 2020, 1.1M 2021, projected revenue of $1.3M 2022.
- Customers: B2B - Electrical Contractors and Electrical equipment distributors
- Active Salesforce: None, $0 spent
- Marketing: None, $0 spent
All our business has been word-of-mouth and the company operates with 3 employees 1 runs design/ engineering, 1 runs accounting/billing, and another runs customer management/operations.
Questions:
If you were to run a b2b business that has seen steady growth, and has spent $0 on marketing and sales, and would like to increase revenue, what would you do?
Here are my thoughts, let me know what you think:

Here are my thoughts, let me know what you think:
- Create Linkedin marketing campaigns targeting Electrical equipment suppliers and electrical contractors. Our customers tend to be very active on Linkedin as opposed to other social channels.
- Email marketing: Run an email marketing either with CTA to go to our website and/or educate potential customers on our product.
- Sales: Actively call electrical contractors and distributors and pitch them our product.
- Build out an ecommerce store and retarget existing customers.
