A UNIQUE ALLIANCE OF SALES DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING
AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCED BY
KULLBERG CONSULTING GROUP AND BROADREACH PARTNERS



BroadReach Partners, which helps companies maximize their sales pipelines, through its proprietary prospecting and business development process and hands-on staff of senior sales professionals, has entered into a strategic alliance with the Kullberg Consulting Group (KCG), which, itself, is a strategic alliance of sixty companies representing all disciplines of marketing and marketing communications.

Improved Marketing and Sales ROI
This alliance provides KCG the ability to offer its clients the uniquely qualified sales pipeline development services of BroadReach Partners, thereby improving the ability to increase and measure the ROI of marketing and marketing communications programs developed by KCG.

Similarly, the alliance provides BroadReach Partners the ability to augment its clients' marketing, market research and marketing communications programs, before or during its long-term client engagements to build a sustained sales pipeline.

A Win, Win
Marketing and Sales Departments often do not work in close coordination and, in today's environment, where many people are involved in the purchase decision process, working in concert is a critical need," said Gary Kullberg, Chief Executive Officer of KCG. "The Marketing Department wonders what happened to the sales leads it generated, while the Sales Department wants less focus on introductory sales leads and more focus on well-qualified sales opportunities," he continued. "Our alliance integrates two outsourced, senior level, professional teams--one sales and one marketing--for a coordinated go-to-market approach that substantially improves ROI from the new business revenue generated," he concluded.

This exclusive association between BroadReach and KCG also provides clients with significant flexibility, as the various services can be individually picked, "cafeteria-style". And, no service has to be included, as the client chooses only what is needed. Further, because it is a strategic alliance, and not a partnership, clients are not paying for the staggering overhead of this wide range of professionals, even if they could be found under one roof.

"Since our founding in 1993, our mission has been to fill our clients' sales pipelines with highly targeted, strategic sales opportunities, using our unique process of marketplace identification, initial senior level sales contact, and relationship-oriented ongoing sales development process," said Phil Arturi, Managing Director of BroadReach Partners. "Often, however, Fortune 1000 firms are not able to effectively integrate marketing communications with sales messaging prior to entering a new market. And, in rapidly changing markets, even timely mid-course corrections to marketing communications programs are difficult because of the tight coordination involved, resulting in lost sales for everyone," he continued.

"But now they can access this expertise, to everyone's benefit, while knowing that they're working with senior level executives at every position. Neither of our groups uses less talented juniors to fill in," Arturi concluded.
