Why eRevenu

You are choosing
between five things.

Hire a rep. Hire an agency. Build it in-house. Do nothing. Or run a system built for manufacturers your size. Here is the honest comparison rather than a list of features.

Every manufacturer we meet is choosing between the same four things.

Hire a salesperson. Hire an agency. Try to do it in-house. Or do nothing and hope the trade show works this year.

We are the fifth option, and the honest way to explain the difference is to compare it against the other four rather than list features.

The alternatives

What you are actually comparing us to.

Absolute dollars are not the point — a rep or doing nothing can be cheaper on paper. What you get for the money is the comparison.

The difference

Six things that are true here and rarely true elsewhere.

01

We start with what you own

Before a dollar of media, we work your dormant customers and your unfollowed quotes. It is the cheapest revenue in your building and almost nobody works it.

02

We tell you what to skip

The assessment names the layers we would not run yet. A recommendation with nothing excluded is a pitch, not an assessment.

03

We never claim your close rate

Every number we report is work we did. Your sales team closes the deal and we do not put their result in our column.

04

One system, not five services

You do not have to diagnose yourself from a menu. The system is configured to what your market actually holds.

05

You see the price before you start

What it costs to continue, what a layer costs, and what happens if you stop. All of it before the first invoice.

06

We built it for your industry

Not a general agency that also takes manufacturers. Manufacturers and distributors only, in one revenue band, with the vocabulary and cycle length that implies.

In a client's words

The objection we hear most, answered by someone who had it.

"Never had anybody we have paid that actually worked. Moved us forward without us having to provide every answer."

Executive · vehicle safety systems manufacturer · $9M+ revenue · Midwest

"By the time a lead reaches our sales team, it is a sales qualified prospect who is truly interested in our technology. Far better than a cold call."

Executive · vehicle safety systems manufacturer · $9M+ revenue · Midwest

Both quotes are from the same engagement, which is the honest limit of what we can show. We have three clients with documented outcomes, not thirty, and we would rather say that than imply a body of evidence we do not have.

Compare us properly.

Bring the alternative you are weighing us against. We will tell you where it beats us, and there are places it does.
