2023 Next Steps Checklist (Lauren Owned Action items and deadlines)
Updated Goals for Biz Dev
Goal #1: Develop a detailed product positioning strategy map for the real estate and finance divisions. Goal #2: Conduct a digital marketing audit to assess how effectively our active media channels drive traffic to our website and influence action. (This is critically important to inform the proposed SOSTAC planning model.) Goal #3: Establish a planning model to create a comprehensive digital marketing strategy incorporating SEO, email marketing, and improving channel effectiveness. Goal #4: Create a framework to analyze at least eight metropolitan markets (bolded below) to inform initial market prioritization for Real Estate & Finance. In the meantime, Business Development will eliminate cold contact efforts so that we have the capacity to identify appropriate firms to support the work outlined above, manage the effort, hire contractors to help with data entry, and continue to provide ongoing client relationship support while managing inbound lead outreach.
Draft SOPs
Assigning Lead Owners
Leads are assigned an owner in the CRM as they are identified. However, current and past school clients will be assigned an owner over time based on who has the strongest relationship.
Context to consider when managing inbound lead outreach.
The CRM is always checked first to identify if there is a previous BH engagement/connection. Dru Damico is consulted before Connect Calls for all Idaho inbound leads. Rich Moreno is consulted before Connect Calls for all Florida inbound leads. Jerry Zayets is consulted before Connect Calls for all DC inbound leads. We also respect previous relationships and consider adjusting account owners if a previous relationship with a team member outside of an assigned territory will provide a raving-fan client experience.
BD Territories
The list below, effective January 2023, is subject to change at the discretion of the Vice President in partnership with Division Presidents.
We currently have two territories because we have two Business Development team members. There is a priority in 2023 to build pipeline movement in the East region due to the proximity to our home office and talent capacity.
*Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota & Vermont are omitted because they don’t have charter schools.
**Alaska & Hawaii are omitted because the list below focuses on the continental 48
INBOUND LEAD MANAGEMENT
Owner: Director, Business Development
The account is checked daily by 10 am. The account is checked in the CRM to ensure no duplicates If it isn’t in CRM, the Lead is entered The director replies from the inbox within 24 hours with the email below, Bccs VP, and self. Thank you for getting in touch with Building Hope. Within two business days, a member of our team will contact you to set up a call to discuss the challenge you outlined.
In the meantime, if you are interested in our loan or facility development services, it's a good idea to start pulling together your school accountability data, your financial model through 2026-27, your most recent audited financial statements, and your current financial statements to support an initial diligence review.
Please do not send anything just yet, but we want to ensure the initial diligence request does not surprise you or delay the process.
We look forward to getting to know you,
