Inbound Vs Outbound Building Materials Sales #62
Another example of how the building materials industry is years behind other industries is the over reliance on outbound sales. The sales person identifies a prospect and pursues them. In the worst case it's a cold call. While outbound sales can be an effective way to grow, companies who have focused on growing their inbound leads are outperforming companies who focus on outbound. Ideally there is a balance of outbound and inbound sales opportunities.

Make It Easier For Your Customer #48
The levels of customer service and support that building materials companies are declining. As their sales go up they are not investing in the areas that affect their customers such as customer service, technical support, shipping, and accounts receivable. Contractors, builders, dealers and distributors are all seeing how companies make it harder to do business with them. The companies who make it easy on their customers will grow faster.

Social Media and Building Materials #47
If you are not active on LinkedIn and Twitter you are making it harder on yourself and your building materials company to grow your sales. There are a large number of architects, builders, contractors, dealers and distributor companies and employees who are very active on LinkedIn and Twitter. There are many social media channels but I find that LinkedIn and Twitter are the leaders in reaching business to business customers.
