The team at Whatbox Digital could not be more excited to announce the launch of our Small Business Marketing Accelerator program for SMBs (small to medium-sized businesses). It’s the biggest launch we’ll likely ever do for a variety of reasons.
But the biggest reason of all is the fact that for the first time in over 20 years, we’re now able to obsess over and serve businesses of all sizes. Historically, if your business wasn’t doing at least a few million dollars a year or more, there was nothing we could do to help those entrepreneurs.
But now, whether you’re a wildly successful business with hundreds of employees or a solopreneur realtor that’s only earning $50k a year, we finally have a program that any business owner can afford.
Not a reader? Not a problem. Listen on Spotify instead. 🎉
What is the Small Business Marketing Accelerator?
The Small Business Marketing Accelerator program is a powerful S.W.A.S. (Software with a Service) model that’s unrivaled in the marketing industry. We’ve architected this model solely for the purpose of being able to help more business leaders and entrepreneurs, regardless of the size of their businesses.
We have a fundamental belief that every hard-working business owner and leader deserves to taste the fruits of success. The problem that small business leaders face is that they don’t know what they don’t know.
They’ve stepped into owning and operating a business because they had a skillset, they fired their boss, so they took to the marketplace to sell their products and services. But that’s the beginning of a jagged and tumultuous journey ahead because they commonly lack the skills to actually grow a business. Enter Whatbox Digital and the Small Business Marketing Accelerator program.
So let’s get to it. This program is a combination of 3 separate value propositions. If you broke down the 3 offers we bundle together for this program as stand-alone offers, we could still go and charge much more for each service alone and still be over-delivering to our customers and competitive in the marketplace.
But after weeks of obsessing over how we could better serve more business owners, we arrived at the Small Business Marketing Accelerator offer.
1. The Software Stack
Let’s face it; it can cost a small fortune just to pay all the monthly fees for the software we need to run and grow our businesses. At Whatbox Digital, we spend thousands of dollars a month on software. And that’s after we audit our software expenses every quarter to see where we can cut costs for tools that we’re barely using or not using at all.
If you were to go and pay for all the software that’s available in the Small Business Marketing Toolkit, you could easily end up spending between $2,800 and almost $12,000 per month.
But you get everything you need with us for just $299 to $499 per month with an annual agreement. The following is just a partial list of all the tools you get inside of the Small Business Marketing Toolkit.
- Social Media Planner
- CRM & Sales Pipelines
- Unlimited Sales Funnels
- Website Builder & CMS
- 2-Way SMS Messaging
- Forms & Surveys
- Email Marketing
- Appointment Scheduling
- Calendars
- Marketing Automation
- Courses & Memberships
- Phone Line
- Call Tracking
- Reputation Management
- Custom Live Dashboards
- Video Hosting
- Ringless Voicemail Drops
- Website Chat
- Google My Business Integration
- Facebook Messenger Integration
- Instagram DM Integration
- WhatsApp Integration
And remember, that’s just a partial list. And if that’s not enough, there will continue to be new features and updates added in perpetuity as we go and grow together in the future.
Want to take a peek under the hood?
Social Media Planner
Our powerhouse social tools allow you to effortlessly sync virtually all your social media channels to the planner so you can post, and schedule future posts, to effectively market and promote your products and services like a pro.
CRM & Sales Pipelines
Our CRM gives you an online tool for managing and maintaining the necessary information for all of your prospects and customers. And our Sales Pipelines allow you to quickly and efficiently manage all of your sales leads and deal opportunities throughout every stage of your sales cycle.
Automation Workflows
Our platform allows you to create and manage powerful workflows and business processes, improve efficiency, and increase sales conversions.
Email Marketing Campaigns
The Small Business Marketing Toolkit features a robust but easy-to-use email marketing design and delivery system that’s powerful enough for big businesses, but simple, easy to use, and affordable for even the smallest business owners. Deliver beautiful on-brand emails your audience will love.
2. Virtual Marketing Specialist
The software stack alone merits the monthly fee of $299 or $499 per month, depending on whether you signed up for the Starter Plan or the Pro Plan. But we didn’t stop there.
In addition to the powerful tech stack we offer, we’re including 5 Virtual Marketing Specialist hours monthly on the Starter Plan, and 10 hours per month on the Pro Plan.
Those hours could be used for graphic design, social media management, email marketing, marketing automation, customizations in the Small Business Marketing Accelerator, sales funnel building, WordPress management, and more.
So not only do we provide the technology, but we also provide your own Virtual Marketing Specialist to help you get work done more quickly and more cost-efficiently.
And for our clients who need more than the 5 or 10 hours allotted, we can provide more hours at a rate that’s significantly less than what most professional agencies would charge for the exact same service.
3. Fractional Growth Officer Coaching
In addition to the robust software tools and time with one of our Virtual Marketing Specialists, we’re throwing in monthly coaching and consulting with a Fractional Chief Growth Officer.
As the CEO of Whatbox Digital, I’ve served as a consultant and the Fractional Chief Growth Officer for numerous brands you’ve likely heard of. My billable hours would frequently exceed $1,200 per hour to teach business teams how to be better marketers.
For our Small Business Marketing Accelerator customers, I provide 1 hour of free consulting for every business owner who signs up. I also provide access to monthly coaching calls in which I provide ongoing insights on how to not only grow your business more effectively and efficiently but also how you can leverage your Small Business Marketing Accelerator more effectively.
Top 8 Benefits Of The Small Business Marketing Accelerator Program For Small Businesses
1. Quick Wins
To ensure that you get started on the right foot, (special terms apply) we give you a variety of quick win services in our effort to immediately provide massive value.
1. Web Chat
Should you desire, we’ll install and set up a web chat on your WordPress website so that you can compete with the larger brands and never lose another prospect who might have had a question about your products or services, but wasn’t ready to hop onto a sales call yet.
2. Reputation Management
Positive online reviews can help your business to rank better in the Google search engine algorithm, and they serve as social proof that your products and services are as good as you say they are. Another quick win we provide is setting up the automation needed in your portal so that you can survey your customers and then only invite those who rate you highly to go and give you a review on Google, Facebook, Yelp, or any other major channel.
3. Networking Sales Funnel
If you subscribe to the Business Growth Show podcast, or to the B2B Business Growth newsletter on LinkedIn, then you already know that sales funnels are an integral part of any successful marketing plan.
The Networking Sales Funnel is an automated workflow that allows you to delightfully indoctrinate your prospects and the people you might meet at your next happy hour, corporate function, or business event, over a sequence of days. We’ll even provide you with the script templates so your messages are valuable and on point.
4. Onboarding & Training
In my opinion, the best part of this program is that you don’t have to go alone. In addition to the other quick wins, we include 1 hour on the Starter Plan and up to 5 hours on the Pro Plan of onboarding training.
2. Snapshots
Snapshots allow the team at Whatbox Digital to drop in cloned marketing assets that are already assembled so you don’t have to spend as much time and money as a business owner who isn’t a Small Business Marketing Accelerator customer.
Snapshots could include pre-built sales funnels, landing page templates, marketing automations, and much more. We already have access to over 1,000 snapshot assets. And that library and list will just continue to grow over time.
3. Mobile App
We provide access to the main metrics of your Toolkit, including 2-way SMS messaging and more, via the Lead Connector app.
The app is available in both the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.
4. User Login Consolidation
Because all your marketing software is in a single portal, you no longer have to remember dozens of usernames and passwords to log in and get your work done. This just adds another layer of convenience to your already busy and overwhelmed life.
5. Agency Integration
Because all your software tools are inside the Small Business Marketing Accelerator portal, we’re better able to help and serve you because now you’re fully integrated with your Virtual Marketing Specialist, a Fractional Chief Growth Officer coach, and the ever-growing Whatbox Digital team.
6. Cost Savings
This benefit might be your favorite. If you were to go and pay for all the tools we provide in our one-stop solution, you could easily pay between $2,800 per month and over $11,000 per month.
7. On-Demand Marketing University Portal (Coming Soon)
We will soon be launching a portal through which we can share two decades of assets you can use to grow your business.
We’ll be sharing copy scripts, advanced ChatGPT prompts, frameworks, checklists, and pretty much any and every secret we can to help you grow your business smarter and faster.
We’ll also be creating a video library that will provide online advanced training so you can continue to sharpen your marketing axe. And the best part? It will be absolutely free for our active customers. The portal will continue to expand into a massive on-demand resource for both educational content as well as actual tools you can start using in your business right away.
8. Perpetual Future Updates
As new functionalities become available, (which is frequently) we’ll be pushing those out to you immediately. We’ll also create new videos that demonstrate and teach you how to maximize your Toolkit portal.
But that’s not all. As new funnels, automations and other snapshot assets become available, we’ll keep you in the know on those too.
Closing Thoughts
