Episode Overview

Dave Currie's agency, The List, is now a privately-held company with 80 employees. With a headquarters in Atlanta and another office in New York, they serve both the United States and the United Kingdom. For those two markets they offer actionable sales intelligence, for anyone who sells to national advertisers or their agencies.

Actionable sales intelligence is predictive sales intelligence that businesses utilize to know when to approach their key prospective clients, how to approach them, who to approach and why to approach them. The how and the why are often overlooked, but are necessary to ongoing organic growth.

The List itself uses this approach and is a shining example of its efficacy. They've produced 25% growth year over year - and that is true organic growth, not from acquisitions. Dave explains this growth has been a result of a quest they began four years ago. They tapped into and fully utilized the power of building the right ecosystem to provide predictability and consistency in lead generation, which ultimately led to growth in sales.

When they had fine-tuned that model within their own agency they took it to their clients. Today that's what they educate and provide in the marketplace.

Dave explains the process in greater detail on this episode. He also explains why it's more important to get the right deals at the right time than to simply get more deals. According to Dave when conditions are right there are triggers in any industry that cause a change in need. If you can track what is happening in prospective customers' businesses you'll see indications that they are more ready to buy than the rest of the market.

Finally we wrap up with a discussion on the greatest lesson he has learned in his time in business, and why the days of the "one to many" marketing and sales approach is long over. There's all of that and so much more on today's Grow My Revenue with Dave Currie.
