Sales and Marketing Capabilities

Oinkodomeo is a sales and marketing agency. What we’ve learned in 25 years of working with sales, marketing and IT teams in B2B technology and services firms is that:

  • Social and mobile has changed the buying process for everything from jeans to million dollar software systems
  • Traditional sales methods are no longer as effective as they once were
  • Sales and marketing need to be better aligned around the buyer’s journey

At Oinkodomeo, the key to our approach is a buyer-focused Sales 2.0 strategy formed jointly around sales and marketing that leverages new thinking and methodologies applied to your people, process and technology.

What is that Word?

The first thing we get asked when people see our business card is, “what is that word?”  So it seems fitting to begin with the origin of our name, Oinkodomeo. Pronounced, oyn-kod-om-eh’-o, it is a portmanteau of “oink” and “oikodomeo”. The latter is from the Greek lexicon, to build a foundation, or to rebuild, renew or augment.

What we find is that most sales and marketing teams don’t connect in a meaningful way. They lack agreement over direction. Our goal is to build or renew that connection, then put in place a foundation of processes and infrastructure that enables reaching the right prospects and converting them into customers.

We added the “n” for the “oink” as a wink and a nod to the many folks who have said, “sales and marketing will get along when pigs fly.” We hear the sound of those wings.
