What Is The Source Approach - Amazon Consultant - eCommerce Consultant - Fractional CMO - The Source Approach

What’s the Source Approach?

Over a decade ago, I had just started as CMO at a brick & mortar-focused brand just getting into eCommerce and I faced a problem most businesses have.

The CEO was working with Freelancers, Virtual Assistants, and Agencies to sell online. 

The sales weren’t there and it took too long to see any results.

The CEO’s expectation was:  “We know our product, but we don’t know eCommerce, so you do what you know for us.”

The reality: They may specialize in SEO, PPC, Amazon, Walmart, etc. but they don’t specialize in anyone’s products. 

This means they take 3 months to learn and apply cookie-cutter best practices resulting in poor sales and a bad customer experience.

That creates a BIG problem because the #1 rule of sales & marketing is: to know your product and customer.

The other problem was, we were small and HAD to work with independent contractors.

So, I HAD to make it work.

Enter The Source Approach.

I discovered that by using “The Source Approach” method you can:

  • Drive significant sales growth on a budget.
  • Get results fast, eliminating the 3-month ramp-up.
  • Use a proven system to get results from Freelancers, VAs, Agencies & Internal Employees alike.
