The Inbound Accelerator Program

Consistently attract and convert premium clients to your expert data consultancy

An invitation to join the Inbound Accelerator Program (IAP)

IAP is perfect for data consultancies with significant expertise in the field of data (e.g. Data Governance/Data Analytics/BI/Data Management/Data Quality) that need to create a more consistent pipeline of opportunities via inbound marketing methods.

The IAP system requires:

  • Zero advertising spend

  • Zero cold-calling

  • Zero event marketing

  • Zero operating costs

Once employed and consistently followed, the IAP approach has been proven to deliver an additional 4-5 new sales enquiries per week.


Why is the Inbound Accelerator Program unique?

Instead of learning disjointed sales and marketing tactics, the IAP system gives you one complete and proven approach, entirely customised for data consultancies.

Finally, your data consultancy will benefit from executing an end-to-end sales and marketing system, positioning your expertise for an Ideal Customer Profile, crafting compelling services, executing a content strategy that attracts opportunities and finally selling with confidence.

There is no other program aimed entirely at you and your type of data-focused consultancy.


The accelerator is ideal for your consultancy if…

  1. You have the data expertise and experience, but you struggle to communicate your value in a way that consistently attracts clients, particularly using online marketing.

  2. You have a generic data management service offering that is poorly differentiated and doesn't break through the noise of competition.

  3. You lack the confidence to sell because it often feels out of integrity to push and promote your services or you just don’t understand the process of sales discovery and conversion.

  4. You create content sporadically and struggle to build simple systems that allow you to scale your content quality and output into a dependable lead generation system.

  5. You want to put on webinars but don’t understand the process for attracting the right audience and converting them into customers, when you put on webinars, people consume content, but never buy.

  6. You don't know what your lead generation 'habits' should look like each day, week, or month - whatever leads you get mostly come from unreliable sources such as word-of-mouth or sporadic referrals.

  7. You need a way to scale sales and marketing activity, either by leveraging your wider team or by finding productivity gains in the way you create content and attract clients.

  8. You have a website that generates sporadic enquiries and is in need of copywriting that attracts new customers to your solutions and motivates them to contact you.

  9. You aren’t satisfied with past results and are keen to build a robust, dependable lead generation system, proven to work in your industry, even during Covid.


Do you recognise any of the issues above?

If so, the acceleration program is perfect for you and your consultancy.

It’s the only program that is custom-designed for data consultancy founders and principals that need to take their business to the next level and start attracting clients consistently.

The program is wholly coached and implemented by Dylan Jones, a professional data management content creator, keynote speaker, and author with 25+ years of data consulting experience and one of the first data professionals to master content marketing via the web.


Tired of unpredictable lead generation methods?

The program helps by releasing your dependence on referrals by constructing a more predictable content-driven system for attracting the type of opportunities that drive growth and create the business you envisioned.

During the program, we work to deliver a customised sales and marketing process that once implemented can be leveraged to repeatedly attract new opportunities.


Drop the ad spend, cold-calling, B2B booking services, and other costly tactics that don’t deliver…

The IAP system requires zero advertising spend, and no significant ongoing costs once implemented. 

You simply need a commitment to share your expertise using specific marketing techniques you will master throughout the program.

The program walks you through how to convert 'content-into-clients' using a unique content marketing approach that I've perfected over the last 15 years with dozens of mega-firms and SMB data consultancies.

“Invaluable to the growth and success of my business.”

“Dylan’s coaching has been an excellent experience as he offers practical advice on all the things you need to do in order to run and grow a successful data consultancy. It goes way beyond providing a list of things to do. It shows you the correct manner to go about them, offers invaluable examples that are specific to the data consultancy, and all the support and advice you need as you go. His program comes highly recommended!”

“…you cannot rely on others to find you work…”

“I can highly recommend Dylan's coaching programme, myDataBrand. After the first session I was already busy formulating the foundations of my future business and after a couple more sessions actually felt confident to test myself in the market.

I've learned that as a Business Owner you cannot rely on others to find you work and that by taking the responsibility yourself by engaging with clients directly you are in the driving seat - but Dylan introduces many clever strategies that make this a whole lot easier. After each coaching session I'm blown away by the depth of discussion and the ideas that arise.

I really wish I had come across Dylan and his coaching program years ago!”

What are the time commitments?

The Lead Generation Accelerator program provides you with 12-15x personalised training sessions of one hour each week.

You need to commit typically 1-2 hours of additional effort to complete your weekly assignments and implementation tasks, but obviously, you are free to invest whatever time you wish.

Each task precisely mirrors what you will be executing to run your business in the future, so nothing is wasted.

Those who put in more time, naturally achieve faster results but the program has been carefully created to meet the needs of the busy data consulting professional.


"I now sell globally…my pipeline is full…I’m looking to scale…”

“The myDataBrand program helped me get a return on investment soon after launching my data governance consultancy by following the exact process taught in the program.

Dylan worked closely with me to build my consulting and training packages, resulting in the launch of data governance and data stewardship solutions that I now successfully sell globally.

In addition, my consulting pipeline is full and I'm looking to scale the consulting practice to meet the demand.

The myDataBrand experience has delivered on all my expectations.”

 Frequently Asked Questions…

 

 

How do I pay to get started and are there plans?

You pay upfront for the lowest fee, but there are payment plan options if you want to spread the cost (for a slightly higher fee).

You can pay via credit card or direct transfer, and we accept Purchase Orders through your procurement system too.

How do I know this is right for my business?

We adopt a risk-reversal strategy.

The first four sessions of the program are bound by a 100% refund guarantee.

If you’re not fully convinced of the value in those initial sessions, your investment is returned in full.


Can I keep all the training resources we use?

Yes, everything you receive you get to keep for the future.

We even give you a personal coaching portal that is yours for continued access, so all your resources, guides, assignments, and worksheets are kept safely in one place.

Can my entire team join in the program?

Yes, we’re happy for you to admit as many people as you like.

The program is built for your consultancy, so invite whoever can make the best contribution at each phase of the transformation process. Some of our clients invite the whole consulting team, marketers, salespeople - all are invited.


Can we reschedule appointments if we’re busy?

Sure, we offer plenty of flexibility around your schedule.

I recognise that life is hectic right now so if you provide prior notice, you can simply reschedule your appointment to another day.

You can even pause your program if you want to take a vacation or need extra time between sessions to get an assignment completed because you have a particularly challenging work commitment.

Can we ask for help between sessions?

Absolutely. Getting the help you need, when you need, is a key benefit that many of our clients have cited as a game-changer in growing their business.

We provide you with an app for desktop or mobile access that gives you priority support. This means if you’re stuck or need feedback, I can get a response to you typically in minutes, or certainly within 1-2 hours of receiving your request for help,


I struggle to sell - will the program help me?

Yes, we have a module built around ‘Pull-Selling’, a technique we teach that is based on the concept of attracting the right clients to you through your content marketing exercises, as opposed to ‘pushing’ for sales, which is where most consultants struggle.

I will teach you simple discovery questions, mapped into each phase of the sales sequence, enabling you to follow a structured process and transform your sales experience. We even transcribe your sales discussions and provide specific improvements for increasing your sales performance.

Will you help us create a website?

Yes. We walk you through the process of creating a website step-by-step, using pre-designed templates, or improving your existing website.

I’ll help you populate the key sections of your website and even help you complete the entire copywriting process for what words to include for optimal conversion on your homepage, services page and about us page.

Finally, I’ll help you create your blog and teach you how to create a blogging system that finally gets you traffic and leads flowing in and entering into your lead generation system.


How long does it take to get results?

Using the systems we teach, we’ve had some clients book their first client entirely via the web within 11 days of making some strategic messaging changes.

One of our most recent clients, launched at the onset of Covid, is now consistently attracting 4-6 solid client opportunities per month due to the way we set up their Primary Offering and consistent weekly content schedule.

But in most cases, results obviously vary depending on the consistency and commitment you put into the program. Most clients will generate a solid ROI before the program completes and typically see a marked rise in web-based lead generation some weeks after, transitioning from a handful of leads per year up to in some cases 4-8 opportunities per month. Consistent application is key.

How are you qualified to train my firm?

I’ve been a data management consultant for nearly three decades. I’ve launched my own consulting firm and acted as a principal for other larger consultancies, providing advisory and implementation for some of the largest UK organisations around data quality, data migration, data visualisation and a broad range of data management disciplines.

I was one of the first ‘content marketing experts’ to focus on blogging, community development and professional content publishing in the data sector back in 2007, launching the first Virtual Data Quality Summit back in 2015. I have advised and coached scores of data management firms from mega-vendors to ‘one-man-band’ firms. I can provide testimonials and direct access to past clients upon request.


What type of data consultancies have taken the Lead Generation Accelerator Program?

I’ve applied the same system across virtually the entire ‘data spectrum’.

We’ve graduated consultancies specialising in the field of Data Privacy, Data Quality, Data Governance, Metadata, Data Lineage, Data Warehousing Data Visualisation, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Cloud Data Architecture, Data Strategy, Big Data, Data Science and Master Data Management.

It doesn’t matter what your field of data is, the program we apply works exactly the same way but is customised to your specific abilities and differentiation.

How will I find the time to create great content and do all this ‘marketing stuff’?

Most firms get this 100% wrong.

Many consultants think content marketing requires the constant creation of endless new content assets. That’s not the approach I teach. I focus a great deal on giving you simple, repeatable methods that are focused on a core primary offer for a well defined ideal client profile. This greatly reduces the volume of content you need to create, and with other productivity techniques I teach, will allow you to create content quickly, and across a variety of different formats and channels.

The great beauty of Dylan’s approach is his simplicity, focus and structure. He helps you prioritise and focus your efforts to increase your chances of success. The other key benefit is in making you consider the sustainability and scalability of your business, allowing you to continue to meet the increased demand for your services, without restricting your opportunities or worse, failing to achieve your client’s expectations.

The myDataBrand coaching program that Dylan delivers is an essential guide to building a consultancy and leveraging the power of content marketing to help sustain growth. Due to his extensive data management consulting and content marketing background, Dylan is able to distil the methods and techniques with practical experience which makes it engaging and actionable.
