Why is clear communication important?

What are the benefits of clear communication?
• Save money - Less resources needed to achieve a sale. Higher prospect to customer conversion rates. Can spend less on advertising – if you stand out people will talk about you. With a clear position there’s better chance of sale materials being right first time and changing less frequently.
• Increase revenue - Competing less on price so increase margins. You have a more defined, defendable position.
• Faster growth - You’re more focused, talking to the right prospects, easier & faster sales, more efficient .
• Happier customers - This is my promise & I can deliver on it.• Happier team - More focus, more flow, more efficiency, happier
customers.
Achieve your true business potential.

Are you achieving your true potential?
• We are brilliant at..........................• What need is this satisfying for your customer?• Do you easily strand out, easily engage, easily convince?
For example when a prospect visits your website are they engaged in6 seconds, convinced in 3 minutes?
How do you rate your company communication?• 1 we’re shocking • 2 we’re fairly poor• 3 we’re ok• 4 we’re amazing
![Page 7: Digino Digital Communications and Strategy](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110115/54b589b34a795942458b4593/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Not achieving your true potential - WHY NOT?
Some possible reasons?
• We didn’t think about communication like that• We didn’t realise that good communication was such an
opportunity• We’re too immersed in the business to see what is brilliant
about what we do• We weren’t really thinking about our customers• Our communications were flat, factual, definitely not
‘resonating’• We knew what was great but we just didn’t have the
communication skills to articulate that

How do you solve this?
1. Develop Understand - develop a deep, true understand of your company, customers and competitors.
2. Find Clarity - see the opportunities, make the complex simple.
3. Then Clearly Communicate - excellent communication skills to explain & persuade internally and externally.

Develop Understanding – possible steps
Possible steps an external provider might go through to build up their understanding of your company, competitors, and customers so that they can help you see how best to clarify your core communications.
• Company – workshop(s) with management, listen to people in the company, walk around, use the product, read everything about the company, immerse ourselves.
• Customer – listen to the companies understanding, listen to the customer themselves (interviews, surveys), observe online discussion forums, examine search behaviour on Google.
• Competitors – buy from them, visit them, review their websites and any other sales materials.
• Leaders - find similar companies that are already excellent at communicating, learn from them.

Find Clarity
1. Think, reflect, discuss, research further.Seek the truth of the situation See the opportunitiesMake the complex simple
2. Write up the suggested approach3. Share it, challenge it, reflect on it4. Refine and firm up

Clearly Communicate
From this clarity all communications flowi.e. for marketing plan, brand, assets, website, advertising,
brochures, right down to the words you use every day.
The approach needs to be simple, focused and relatively fast . Tends to loose perspective and momentum if not moving quickly. The work need a strong leader as simple ideas, simple approach and change will be challenging.
