Website checks and more: Into the new year with momentum!

/in , /by
2 Min.

The new year brings fresh energy – and why not start right away with measures that offer real added value? Our online meeting on the topic of website checks, which took place on Thursday, December 12, provided successful inspiration for this. The response was so positive that we are sure of it: 2025 is literally calling out for a new edition!

Why website checks are a must

Regular website checks are actually a basic requirement for anyone working in sales or marketing. But hand on heart – how often do you actually think about it? Our event with “Full Stack Web Developer” Alexander Bader showed impressively why it is worth not putting this point on the back burner. Because it’s not just about technical details, but also about real success stories that can be created right before your eyes. Together with our expert, we took a live look at a selected WordPress website. We went through the check process step by step, presented our tools, defined requirements and demonstrated the system of a professional website check. No question was left unanswered – and we were even able to fix minor problems directly.

Impressive results in just two hours

The results? Simply amazing! Within two hours, not only was the website noticeably optimized, but it also became clear that such checks are far more than just an annoying compulsory exercise. With the right approach, they can be really fun – and deliver a real sense of achievement.

Fresh motivation for 2025

We are starting the new year with this momentum and look forward to more inspiring events. True to the motto: See you in 2025!

Cooperation between development and sales - From national to international positioning

Innovation & sales: international success together

/in , /by
2 Min.

Success in innovation is primarily based on two pillars: the progress that the newly developed product brings with it and the sales channel that is used to consistently market the new product. The fact that many valuable innovation approaches in companies fall by the wayside is primarily due to the fact that sales and innovation do not communicate enough with each other.

Promoting synergies between development and sales

In order to pave the way here and to be able to transfer these into best-practice examples, we have set up our working group “Sales campaign in the innovation process“, we have brought together an exclusive group of participants from both the development and sales departments of various companies. Our basic topic:

How do we succeed – from the initial idea to the finished product – in making an innovation process as lean and targeted as possible through mutual communication and cooperation?

As part of a perspective event on October 23, 2024, the focus was primarily on the possibilities of such sales-innovation collaborations, especially from the perspective of globally operating companies. The questions we asked ourselves in this context covered a considerable range:

  • How can we – possibly from here – contribute to maximizing the promotion of innovation processes at other locations, including those abroad?
  • What processes need to be established there?
  • For example, how can the communication and social media channels there be opened up for this?
  • How can further progress be made within the company?

Successful results through joint solutions

The all-round positive: once again, all participants were able to benefit from the answers we came up with to these and other questions!

AI-supported sales training: Autodidactic learning of the future

AI-supported sales training: passing on knowledge and optimizing skills

/in , /by
2 Min.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now being used in numerous areas to support sales. These include the design and production of sales materials and the use of versatile software tools that support sales staff in their customer relationship management (CRM) or in the area of project and schedule management.

AI in sales training: a new approach

A relatively new area of application for AI is its use in sales training. Here, AI is specifically designed to support sales staff in their core communicative tasks. How such AI-supported training can look in practice was the topic of an online event hosted by 2be_die markenmacher together with BWV Nordbayern-Thüringen on October 23. Chris Sander, Creative Leader at the Akkodis Group, and Max von Retorio were invited as experts. The presentations initially focused on how the content flow between sales and customers can be improved with the help of AI tools such as ChatGPT or Midjourney. These tools expand the possibilities of sales in the creation and management of content by efficiently generating texts and supporting creative processes. For many participants, this was an opportunity to build on existing knowledge and expand it with new approaches.

Retorio and Synthesia: innovative AI training solutions

It became particularly exciting when Max used practical examples to show how programs such as retorio can be used in combination with Synthesia. These tools make it possible to create avatars that analyze your own sales activities. Gestures, facial expressions and voice are scrutinized in order to make targeted improvements. These innovative training methods create real added value for sales staff, allowing them to receive practical and individual training. One highlight of the event was the demonstration of how companies can use AI software to preserve the knowledge and years of experience of proven sales staff and pass it on to the next generation. The programs can be used not only to train communication skills, but also to pass on tips and strategies from experienced colleagues to successors in the form of avatar coaching. This makes it possible to practise directly on potential customers in an interactive speech-and-response scenario.

Conclusion: AI as the key to sales optimization

The combination of proven sales methods and modern AI solutions offers companies a real competitive advantage. From content flow management to individual training with avatars – AI helps to pass on knowledge, expand skills and sustainably optimize sales. Events like this illustrate the potential of AI-supported training and how companies can benefit from it.

Digital sales tools and performance marketing with AI

Accelerating the sales of the future with AI and performance marketing

/in , /by
2 Min.

The fact that the linking of sales work and AI tools is currently a hot topic was already evident from the lively participation in our first event and the feedback we received. This was more than just a good omen for a second event on the topic of “Accelerating digital sales with performance marketing and AI“, which was again held on October 9, 2024 in the co-working space “Oskar9” – and this time, too, with a high level of physical and mental participation. Achieving real progress in sales is always a highly relevant business topic, especially when the focus is on practice, as was the case here.

Successful kick-off event shows great interest

The combination of sales work and AI tools is currently a hotly debated topic, as the high level of participation and positive feedback at the first event showed. This response laid the foundation for a second event, which again focused on the topic of “Accelerating digital sales with performance marketing and AI”.

A real-life example was used to illustrate the sales activities of a manufacturer in the automotive industry with the use of performance marketing measures. The scope ranged from the acquisition of new customers via post and email to the design of search engine-optimized landing pages through to making appointments and sending out quotations.

Identify and use optimal sales channels

The decisive “competence” that performance marketing offers here is the identification of processes on the one hand and sales channels on the other, on which sales can develop optimally. Are we more likely to achieve our goal by using classic analog sales channels, or are social media channels, for example, particularly promising as a supplement or even as the main channel?

The subsequent discussion on the topic was equally focused on benefits and objectives. In particular, the additional AI tools that can be used today to enhance sales and increase turnover were discussed.

As reported, 2be_die markenmacher has been a proud member of the internationally operating ‘Rabbit Hole’ group of companies since mid-2024. Rabbit Hole is characterised by an extensive, IT-based service portfolio that relies on the expertise of highly specialised professionals.

Session at the Rabbit Hole Annual Meeting 2024

Within this network, we focus on our core competences in the areas of sales campaigns and brand development. Close networking within the group of companies enables us to optimise the development of our sales strategies and thus drive the success of our brand forward.

Increase sales success and visibility

At our 2024 annual meeting in the Serbian metropolis of Belgrade, it became clear that the ‘Together we are stronger’ concept works extremely well! There is increasing demand for Rabbit Hole’s services, which underlines the consistently high quality. The integration of our sales and brand development services also contributed significantly to our success.

Matthias Brinkmann from 2be was on site in Belgrade together with Anton Dollmaier from AD IT Systems GmbH to promote intensive dialogue with our co-specialists and provide new impetus for further development. Since our relatively recent membership, we have been able to participate in several major projects and obtain the best feedback from our clients, which has significantly strengthened our visibility and position in the market.

Development and optimism for the future

Rabbit Hole’s annual meeting, which took place from 19 to 22 September at the Mama Shelter Belgrade hotel, was a complete success. In addition to the ongoing development of the group of companies, which now has 255 employees, it provided ample opportunity for intensive dialogue with our co-specialists. As a small souvenir, each participant received a pin with famous Nuremberg sights, our home town. This exchange not only contributed to the further development of our own expertise, but also gave us plenty of optimism for future sales opportunities and joint brand development. We are ready to further expand our network and increase the visibility of Rabbit Hole and 2be_die markenmacher!

Google Analytics 4 vs. Matomo: Our event and the relevance of web analytics

/in , /by

How important is website tracking for lead generation?
If you look at the lead and conversion rates of most websites, this question becomes superfluous.

It’s easy to get started: create content for the website, place keywords and invest a lot of money in Google Ads – but the contact requests don’t materialize. This is where tools such as
Google Analytics and Matomo
 come into play to determine the touchpoints of the target groups and collect important data. This includes which landing pages lead to conversions or how high the engagement rate is on the respective page.

The biggest challenge: The user-centricity of a website

Most companies have a clear goal in the digital world: to generate sales. But many fail, either because of low demand, strong competition or because they publish mediocre content. However, it becomes particularly tricky if the website generates a lot of reach and traffic, but no leads or new customers. SEO and paid advertisements do not help here, because these measures do not change the quality of the visitors.

In such cases, only analytics tools can help to evaluate user behavior more precisely and identify the construction sites on the website. With heat maps, companies can determine the exact touchpoints of the target group and data provides valuable insights into possible disruptions on the website.

Practical insights during the event

As part of our event “
Google Analytics 4 vs. Matomo
“, we demonstrated the possibilities of website tracking using a practical example from our customer “Bund Reisen”. After just a few glimpses, we gained key insights into website performance – including data such as engagement rate, dwell time and click-through rate.

On July 25, we will deepen these insights with more detailed insights into the customer journey and which touchpoints potential customers go through until they convert. The aim of the events will be to use tracking tools to optimize the sales potential of a website.

“We want your sustainability": promoting innovative ideas for greater sustainability

Follow-up report: “We want your sustainability”

/in , /by
2 Min.

On June 3, the online meeting “
We want your sustainability
” took place – a humorous allusion to the famous Uncle Sam “We want you” motif. The aim was to emphasize the importance of sustainability and focus on innovative, disruptive ideas. Sustainable concepts are often neglected in large companies, even though they are of immense importance. This meeting therefore focused on the promotion and dissemination of such ideas.

Presentation of the COiDEALISTEN Association

The COiDEALISTEN association(www.coidealisten.de) kicked off the event. This platform offers a solution for unused ideas in companies. The COiDEALISTS promote the exchange and implementation of innovative concepts that lie dormant in the drawers of many companies. This makes a significant contribution to promoting sustainability.

Concrete ideas for reparability and the circular economy

The COiDEALISTS then presented three specific ideas on the topic of reparability and the circular economy:

  • Repair Cafés: Promote Repair Cafés to empower communities to carry out their own repairs. This reduces waste and promotes repair skills.
  • Cooperation with manufacturers: Improving the reparability of products by providing repair instructions and spare parts to make products more durable and reduce the environmental impact.
  • Spare parts dealers and individuals: Improve the connectivity and availability of spare parts to make repairs more affordable and practical for the average consumer.

Conclusion

The online meeting “We want your sustainability” impressively demonstrated how important and creative sustainability can be. The introduction of the COiDEALISTEN association and the presentation of concrete, practicable ideas made it clear that everyone can make a contribution to sustainable development. The concepts presented offer a promising outlook for a future in which sustainability is a living reality.

AI lectures and workshops: We are right in the middle of it all!

What do “der Klub”, Sparkasse Nürnberg, Stadtreklame Nürnberg GmbH and BWV Bildungsverband der Versicherungswirtschaft have in common? – Quite simply, they were all participants in workshops on the subject of AI, in which we were also involved. As we were able to experience, the prerequisites for getting started with AI were the same for everyone involved: not only an open ear for new topics, but also the willingness to actively help shape them.

Gerd, Wolfgang and Matthias at the

We are glad that we got into the subject at an early stage and have acquired in-depth knowledge, particularly in the area of image and video processing. Based on this, we have now defined three groups that should definitely be interested in our talks, presentations and workshops. So: “Team Deckchair” loves convenience and wants to replace as many human tasks as possible with artificial intelligence.

The “Team Nutzen” views artificial intelligence primarily in its function as an assistant for a more efficient working day or as a replacement for hard-to-recruit personnel. “Team Krawalle” sees AI primarily as a threat to human work and social interaction. This is another way to generate action!

In any case, it is important to understand what significant changes AI will bring about in our future. That’s why: Make sure you get on board and see where the train is heading!

Simplifying further training

Further simplifying continuing education

/in , , , , /by
2 Min.

Knowledge and know-how have always been the foundations that make up the real value of companies. Continuing education is what can transport this growth of companies further into the future. In order to create useful content and make it available to those who need it, we offer our customers, partners and other interested parties the opportunity to collaborate on an e-learning platform. There, they not only have the opportunity to post their written, cinematic or auditory learning content, but also to subsequently check it and document the corresponding learning success – e.g. by issuing certificates.

This communication portal is ideal for companies that want to organize their onboarding activities better and, above all, more cost-effectively. This can be done by entering internal media content, but also by using existing, external content, for which the external authors then receive appropriate remuneration. In this way, newly hired employees in particular can benefit maximally from it and master the upcoming learning tasks in a short time.

Hybrid event with high knowledge value

Hybrid event with high knowledge value

/in , /by
2 Min.

Small, but fine events can have a big impact – privately, professionally and also entrepreneurially – but ideally in all these aspects together. Together with partners, we have developed a series of events (still nameless) to which we invite five to ten customers each for an inspiring exchange. The central reason is always a topic that is burning on the nails of us, but above all of our customers. This can be the topic of search engine optimisation, as recently, but also the creation of your own publications or even a completely classic sales topic.

To date, we have organised the event as a hybrid – with the choice of a possible online or offline presence. The procedure has also stabilised: After a short introduction to the contents, three thematic dialogues follow, each lasting 15 minutes and taking place in separate (virtual) rooms between the participants. The exchange is rounded off with a feedback of the discussed contents in a joint round.

According to all those present, the rewards of the event are always rich: not only does the event enable them to delve much deeper into the respective “hot topic”. Often this results in new professional perspectives, acquaintances or even friendships that allow both parties to grow together in the future.
We hope you will join us next time too!
