EBTM will be delivering strategic and marketing workshops to Trimbles global dealer network on behalf of Trimbles Geospatial division.

Unfortunately in todays competitive marketing place, there is much more noise and with the ever increasing marketing platforms, such as Social Media and with the Internet set to grow by 500% by 2020, companies need to be smarter and savvy when it comes to activity. Companies need to be confident they are selecting the right platforms to focus their marketing efforts and ensure their spend is generating the most return.
Its a struggle for Marketing and sales departments as they have to try and keep up to date with the latest thinking and techniques, it can be very tiring. EBTM make sure their clients and followers have access to the latest marketing techniques for their industry.
EBTM can help businesses review their strategic efforts right through to planning and implementation, which helps focus the business owner or manager on the task at hand that will develop the company into a more focused and profitable business within their sector.
During 2014, EBTM carried out a pilot program with Trimble, assessing three key dealers within Belgium, UK and South Africa.
Oliver Brooks, Managing Director at KOREC UK
Elaine recently held a strategy day for us, and what really differentiated it from other similar days we’ve done was her comprehensive industry knowledge and relevant professional experience. That really helped her credibility and encouraged openness from all participants resulting in plenty of sound ideas which will be developed and implemented.
Marianne Couder, C.E.O. Couder, Geo Service , 4C Grid bvba
Elaine is a highly motivated and driven manager and acts in a structured way with her customer and the team. She starts her projects well prepared, keeps tracks of timing and builds on positivity and trust. She is result driven and her own business experience as a C-level helps the C-customer to quickly work on the real pain points. Her experience has a real added value and works highly inspirational. In a scientific and technical environment she manages to keep the team motivated and participative on the project and has a good follow up concept. I would highly recommend her services.
