Customized, Professional Marketing and
Business Development Services for the
Special Few

About Us
As you undoubtedly know a good sales program is integral to the success of every business. On the other hand marketing and business development are often perceived as the poor stepchildren of the sales program. The reality is that without a successful marketing or business development program it is difficult, if not impossible to have an effective sales program.

At Netbex we provide businesses with customized, professional marketing and business development services. Why do we emphasize “customized?” Because every client’s needs are different.

While it might be easier to provide a cookie-cutter solution for everyone we realize that each business has a unique set of challenges, a distinct customer-base and a singular set of service or product offerings. So when we accept a new client we do so with the understanding that we will work with them to:

Identify their unique selling proposition. Evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Design a program that will help them eliminate their weaknesses and optimize their sales.

Services for the Special Few

Because we provide only customized services, we can only accept so many clients at any one time. That’s why you will probably never see a Netbex commercial or receive a direct mail solicitation from us. We accept clients on an invitation-only basis, and we insist on references.

Now don’t get us wrong, we aren’t trying to be snooty. We just know that we have a finite amount of time and resources and we want to make sure we can deliver the goods. That means we need to be confident that we can work effectively with, and for, our clients. We simply don’t want to waste our time or theirs.

Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Netbex Client?

If you can answer “yes” to all of the following questions then you may have what it takes to be a Netbex client:

  • Are you confident that your company provides a valuable service or product to it’s customers?
  • Is your company prepared to invest time and resources into it’s marketing and business development efforts?
  • Is your company run in an ethical, customer– and employee-friendly fashion?
  • Is your company in a position to evaluate, and possibly change ALL of it’s customer-facing activities?
  • Will your company’s ultimate decision-makers (owner, CEO, president, etc.) be on board for the program.

All of these are necessary considerations when you look to implement marketing and business development programs. If you don’t feel that you can comfortably answer yes to all of these questions then you need to re-evaluate what you can reasonably expect to accomplish without making some major changes to your business.

Do We Have What it Takes to Work With You?

Of course all business relationships are a two way street, and you need to know more about us before we can decide whether or not we should work together. Once we’ve had the chance to meet and discuss a possible business relationship we will be eager to provide you with detailed descriptions of our on-going efforts with other clients and a list of references for you to contact.

Our Unique Selling Proposition

Besides our customized service, there is one other feature of Netbex that makes us kind of unique:

We don’t get paid until you are successful.

Here’s how it works. Once we agree to work with you we will sit down with you and evaluate your sales over the prior six months. Then we will determine, with your input, what you would probably expect to do in gross sales for the next six months without our help. We even assume that your sales will go up without our help! Once we have that base figure in hand we will then write an agreement that says we only get paid a commission on the difference your base figure and the actual gross sales for each month.

For example, if your base figure is $10,000 and your gross sales for the month is $11,000 then we would only earn a commission for the $1,000 difference. If your sales don’t go up we don’t get a dime.

This is another reason that we work with just a select few clients: it takes an extraordinary level of trust on our part and our clients’ part to run this kind of program.
