What if you could maximize your Return on Marketing
Investment like never before, over and over again.
Are you increasingly challenged to prove the effectiveness of your
marketing choices? Are you expected to forecast the expected
outcome of your proposed marketing plan? Is achieving optimal
Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) your primary criteria for
future budget allocations?
For many decades marketing, accuracy and accountability were
rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Today, all this has changed.
Accountability and measurability are the top challenges marketeers
are facing. The StratoPlanner™ has been specifically developed to
help you face and answer these challenges and will for ever change
the way you will develop your marketing strategies.
Imagine asking your sales manager for the annual targeted turnover
and the corresponding key performance indicators, in order to
develop a correlated marketing communication strategy. Imagine
that you not only manage to develop a strategy to stimulate sales,
but at the same time to increase long-term brand equity? Would this
not be the kind of performance you want to be related with?
In marketing literature and in many market inquiries marketing tools
are criticized and questioned because of their complexity and lack of
ability to provide real control.
Marketeers like you are constantly bombarded with more data,
more variables and new parameters. Instead of acquiring more
control, in reality one just feels that the probability of making
mistakes has increased exponentially. In the end, you are left to
follow your gut feeling. Face it, having more options does not imply
quicker choices or better choices.
The StratoPlanner™ is a dashboard/planner that enables you to
identify at a glance which strategic marketing and branding actions
will best stimulate sales. In fact, the StratoPlanner™ exposes the
direct correlation between, sales, branding and marketing thanks to
its integrated and holistic design. The StratoPlanner™ also ensures
that your marketing and branding actions will built long-term brand
equity at the same time. All this is possible in a fraction of the time
conventional methods require to develop a strategy.
The StratoPlanner™ enables you to instantly translate sales reports
into marketing plans with correlated conclusions and actions, like
what actions to take, what message to send, when to send it, which
channels to select and what sales key performance indicator best to
affect.
To good to be true? The StratoPlanner™ does exactly that. It is the
first tool on the market that merges ‘sales’, ‘branding’ and
‘marketing’ in one application. This has been achieved thanks to the
methodology running in the background of the StratoPlanner™,
Biotic Brand Cultivation® and more specifically the Brand Nourisher.
In the next pages you will discover all the features that make the
StratoPlanner™ so unique.

Additionally to the sales Key Performance Indicators (who are

Marketing in 3 dimensions. Providing marketeers new
perspective and unparalleled leverage.
The power of the StratoPlanner™ resides in the Biotic Brand
Cultivation® process running inside. It is this process and
methodology that attributes the StratoPlanner™ the capacity to
correlate marketing and branding to sales. The StratoPlanner™
covers the complete customer or brand life-cycle. By breaking down
the complete sales process (sales), customer relationship (branding)
and contact moments (marketing) into a series of sequential
parameters, it is now possible to link each of these parameters with
each other and assess or predict their impact.
The advantage of breaking down sales, marketing and branding into
sequential parameters is the possibility to identify why and when a
process is underperforming, and why the set targets have not been
reached yet. This allows instant assessments of the full process and
immediate strategic adjustments.
The StratoPlanner™ works in 3 dimensions. The Key Growth
Enablers affect the Brand Equity, the Customer Contact Moments
affect Marketing and the Key Performance Indicators affect the
sales.
DIMENSION 1 - Customer Relationship
Key Growth Enablers
The Key Growth Enablers allow you to identify what is slowing down
your sales process. The before mentioned Biotic Brand Cultivation®
(BBC) process is the underlying foundation of the StratoPlanner™. It
is the first and only brand growth method on the market applying
authentic biotic laws of growth to company growth. The
StratoPlanner™ integrates the Brand Nourisher and the Customer
Relationship Scan to quantify the 9 Key Growth Enablers (KGE). The
KGE are factors that affect the customer relationship from the very
beginning of a contact with a customer to the moment that a
customer becomes a brand ambassador. The 9 KGE are structured
in a sequential way and cover the full brand and customer life-cycle.
The 9 KGE’s are:
Brand Conversion generates selection of a brand
Brand Leadership generates preference for a brand
Brand Reassurance generates choice for a brand
Brand Passion shortens the decision process for a brand
Brand Talent affirms the choice for a brand
Brand Inspiration generates up and cross selling
Brand Experience generates word of mouth communication
Brand Dialogue generates input to improve a brand
Brand Bonding generates advocacy for a brand.
These KGE are measured with the Customer Relationship Scanner.
A proprietary tool able to analyze the quality of your customer or
brand relationship. This is expressed in series of indexes.
Key Communication Enablers
The Key Communication Enablers allow you to identify why your sales
process is slowing down. This way you will know where the customer
relationship is strained and what aspect of the communication might
have caused it.
The 5 KCE’s are:
Reception: do your Brand messages reach their target
Cognition: are your Brand messages understood
Credibility: are your Brand messages trusted
Relevance: are your Brand messages addressing customers’ needs
Irreplaceability : are your Brand messages unique
The Customer Relationship Scanner, delivers you detailed insight
into the performance of each of these KGE and KCE.

DIMENSION 2 - Sales Process

Key Performance Indicators

Key Performance Indicators are a set of indicators used by your
sales department to assess and measure the sales performance.
The sales process is then broken down in a series of sequential
indicators that have direct impact on your company’s or
department’s turnover. In most cases these KPI are multipliable with
each other to determine turnover.

KPI1 x KPI2 x KPI3 x KPI4 = Turnover.

Each of these KPI must be quantifiable, in order to assess its

performance. The choice of KPI is entirely a question of consensus.
The only criteria is that the KPI must be quantifiable and multipliable
with each other. The StratoPlanner™ can work with any type of KPI’s
provided by your company.

DIMENSION 3 - Contact Moments

Customer Contact Moments

The Customer Contact Moments are a series of moments where
people are directly or indirectly exposed to a brand message or
experience. These CCM’s cover the pre-sales, sales and after-sales
span.

Each CCM can be structured additional according to the area where

the exposure takes place, namely offsite, onsite or inside. In fact the
CCM follows the customer from the first exposure to a visit in the
point of sales and his/her experience with after-sales and service.

Finally, the CCM are also structured according to the type of

exposure.
• One to many - short exposure
• One to many - long exposure
• One to One
• Face to face

The definition of your CCM’s is entirely customizable in function of

your marketing trajectory.
