GROWTH STRATEGY
An in-depth analysis

Hey, it's Tommy,

Ever wonder why some B2B companies seem to close deals while others struggle?

Here's what I discovered after analysing hundreds of successful service businesses:

The difference isn't better services or lower prices.

It's trust.

And specifically, how they build it before their prospects ever talk to them.

Let me share something that might sound familiar...

You're great at what you do, but potential clients keep saying they "need to think about it" or "will decide later."

These delayed decisions are costing you thousands in lost revenue every month.

And the real problem?

Your expertise stays inside your head instead of building trust with your audience.

Think about this:

The average B2B sale decision now takes ~70 days and involves 6-10 decision makers.

That's 70 days of potential clients forgetting about you if you're not staying top of mind.

Even worse?

Your competitors are probably filling that silence with their own message.

Here's what happened to one of our clients, a software consulting firm:

They were closing only 15% of their proposals...

Despite having better expertise than their competitors!

Why?

Because they were showing up only when it was time to sell.

No trust. No relationship. No deal.

But everything changed when they started sending weekly newsletters.

Their proposals started getting responses like:

"Hey guys, we've been following your insights for months."

Here's the psychology behind why this works:

The mere exposure effect shows that people trust what's familiar.

Each newsletter creates a micro-moment of trust.

Over time, these moments compound into what psychologists call "parasocial relationships."

It's why people feel they know TV personalities they've never met.

And it's why consistent newsletters turn strangers into clients who already trust you.

Want to start building these trust-building moments?

Here are three proven strategies you can put in place today:

1. Share one client success story per month (with specific numbers and results)

2. Document your problem-solving process (people trust transparency)

3. Include one "behind-the-scenes" insight from your business (builds human connection)

The key is consistency, not perfection.

Start small. One valuable insight per week is better than an irregular "perfect" newsletter.

Until next time...

Have a great week,

Tommy
