What is Inbound?

The concept of inbound marketing revolves around attracting, engaging, and delighting potential customers to drive business growth through building value and trust. With the advancements in technology, this approach establishes a more effective and customer-centric way of conducting business. It provides a superior strategy for marketing, selling, and supporting customers, ultimately benefiting both the customer and the company, leading to sustained business growth.

The inbound methodology consists of three essential stages: attract, engage, and delight. Companies utilize this approach to build trust, credibility, and drive action. It's all about delivering value throughout the customer's journey.

Looking at it from a business standpoint, this methodology reflects your company's evolution, with happy customers driving its growth. They either continue to buy your products or recommend your business to others, expanding your brand reach. Conversely, dissatisfied customers, whether from a lack of alignment with your brand or unmet expectations, can impede your company's growth path.

By implementing an inbound strategy across all departments, your company can create a seamless and all-encompassing experience for every user, regardless of their stage as buyers. Attracting visitors to your website isn't just the responsibility of marketers; engaging with them shouldn't be confined to the sales team; and delighting them extends beyond the customer service department. To nurture lasting relationships with customers, all teams need to actively engage, interact, and delight them in a personalized manner, building trust in your brand.

What is flywheel?

The concept of the customer-driven flywheel serves as a powerful visual representation of how prioritizing exceptional customer experiences can propel an organization forward with unstoppable momentum. Implementing strategies to attract and retain customers infuses the flywheel with energy, keeping it spinning smoothly. However, factors that hinder this momentum, known as friction, often arise during team interactions, such as when leads transition between departments. This underscores the critical role of internal communication in maintaining the cycle's rotation.

When your Flywheel is aligned with the inbound methodology, your marketing, sales, and customer service teams play key roles in driving momentum and overcoming challenges at every stage of the process. It is crucial for all departments in the organization to be fully committed to this shared goal.

For example, the marketing team's focus in the attraction phase involves activities such as monitoring blogs, hosting events, and running paid advertising campaigns. The sales team propels the cycle forward through interactions on social media platforms, while the customer service department encourages satisfied customers to advocate for your brand.

As you move through the phases of attracting, engaging, and delighting customers, it is their advocacy that will sustain the momentum of the cycle, attracting new customers. Over time, the Flywheel model will allow your business to grow without constantly relying on customer acquisition efforts.
