The Teaching Factory is looking to recruit more employees, and acquire more purchase orders for CNC manufacturing which will result in more revenue, and increase capabilities as the workforce continue to grow.
Firstly, figure out the real value you provide beyond the mechanics like 'CNC Machining' and create some consistent messaging to use throughout your entire brand that speaks to your audience.
Secondly, employ modern lead-generation tactics. Your conversion rate is currently less than 0.5%. We'd like to get that up to around 3-4%.
We have explained more about how we plan to achieve this in the next pages.
Please read through the information carefully and, if satisfied, you can use our 'E-Sign' system right here in your proposal to accept and get started!
The Teaching Factory is a startup company with no brand name, logo, or online presence. We have identified the primary problems we face with this project with the intention of addressing those problems with strategic and cost effective solutions.
1. There is no name for your company, and no way for customers to know who you are, what you do, and how you are different from competitors.
2. There is no logo, and visual identity for the company to show customers and potential employees that you are a real business.
1. There is no website for potential customers to find you.
2. There are no careers pages or social media profiles for potential employees to find available positions.
1. Currently you have no forms of marketing in place to generate leads for potential customers.
2. You also have no forms of marketing in place for potential employees, owners of investors to find you for opportunities.
1. Unique Positioning in marketplace in contrast to competitors.
2. Online presence for potential employees to submit applications.
3. Targeted traffic from Google optimized website.
4. Inbound leads from potential customers.
We have complied a list of viable solutions the problems listed above to help you meet the goals you set out to achieve within a reasonable budget and timeframe.
1. We recommend defining the brand identity first (mission, vision, values), and what sets you apart from competitors.
2. We need to help you figure out a business name that uniquely and competitively positions you in the marketplace.
3. We need to ensure the chosen name is available, not currently trademarked, and has an available domain name that you can purchase in order to have a website address.
4. We need to design a visual identity for the company including color scheme, typographies, and most importantly a logo that tells your story, effectively conveys you message to your target audiences, and attracts the people you intend to attract.
1. We recommend designing a website similar to Dynetics.com, but unique to your brand, with a core emphasis on the careers page in order to recruit potential employee owners.
2. We recommend building the website on the wordpress or webflow CMS platform so future content can easily be updated without need for complex coding or technical knowledge.
3. After recruiting the desired number of employee owners, we recommend tweaking the website to put more emphasis on customer needs, and less emphasis on employee owners so it becomes more effective at generating leads that could result in won contracts/ purchase orders.
1. Initially, we recommend marketing in the "Titans of CNC" & "Practical CNC Machinist" forums, as well as Facebook groups, Linkedin groups, and job message boards.
2. After the desired number of employees are recruited and you have the workforce needed to operate, we recommend focusing marketing efforts on lead generation and customer acquisition via search engine optimization, content marketing, and social media marketing via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin to help you land more revenue generating clients, and purchase orders to scale the business into a larger company or franchise.
