Singapore is fondly called the “Lion City” while others call it “Garden City because of its greening policy, populating the island with tropical flora, gardens and parks, but in the business sector it is mostly known as the “Little Red Dot” due to business potentialities it possesses that attracts many investors from all over the world.
In the recent survey made by Hawksford, a total of 16,096 new businesses registered in Singapore in Q1 2017. The IT industry holds the biggest percentage and with most headquarters inaugurated. This progress in Singapore’s business industry shows how fast businesses twist and turn in the Lion City which could be translated to how busy companies’ big bosses are, and maybe how time and chance could become so evading for lead generators like us. The old cliche “if there’s a will, there’s always a way” withstands but has gotten broader this time “if there’s a will, there’ll be multiple ways”, and one good example is the Multi-Channel Marketing.
The convergence of the different marketing tools and strategies is fully leveraged by many industries as they are able to keep hold of their target decision makers via the multi-channel marketing tools. Take a few, not so complex tools that work effectively:

Content Marketing
This offers a broad opportunity for marketers to share a message about what their business can do differently to their target customers. I also project as an avenue to hear both their current and target customers’ feedback and questions that are important factors for coping challenges in the business.
Mobile Marketing
If your target decision maker is always on OOO status in his email or you always get a “will pass your message to him” from his office staff or secretary, then get hold of him thru mobile.
Social Media Marketing
Who dislikes social media? There may be few who are evasive of getting contacted via social media but there are more who are active and even prefer to discuss via social and professional media.
Telemarketing
Classic and definitely still one of the most effective marketing tools. With the use of SMART Calling processes, you will get to speak with your target on the phone at his most convenient thus pave you the opportunity to know him better and vice versa. Hear his words, know his thoughts and grab the chance to answer his questions first hand, while you have him on the other line – other marketing tools may not readily offer such capability. Just make sure that you are fully equipped with product knowledge and right tools to help you.
