2. Dear Sales and Marketing Professional,
Many mining industry professionals are predicting 2015
to be the year that mining starts to come back strong in
Australia.
To make sure your organisation is positioned to
capitalise on the next boom from the very start, your
sales and marketing teams and messaging need to be
ready.
The next boom will be different, with miners learning
from their past mistakes, so they will expect you, their
equipment and solutions companies, to be different.
The challenges of more complex DMUs, higher up DMs,
more criteria, tougher KPIs in SLAs and contracts will all
still exist, making it even more important to have your
sales, marketing and communications teams working
cohesively and proactively.
That is why Mining IQ is organizing our 2nd Sales and
Marketing Excellence in Mining event, taking place on
26th November 2014, in sunny Brisbane, QLD. In our
expert led speaker panel we will cover:
• Leveraging all marketing channels to improve sales
• Developing a world class sales team
• Jumping on the social media band wagon
– how can you harness its potential?
• Working with major clients to deliver what they need
and increase your sales at the same time
This packed event will only require one day out of
the office, and will give you numerous marketing,
communications and sales strategies to take back to the
office the next day and start implementing.
I hope to see you at this much needed event
in November!
Best Wishes,
Megan Edwards
General Manager – Mining IQ

10.00 Mining IQ Exchange: Speed Networking Session
A valuable session we introduced last year, the purpose
of this session is a quick icebreaker that gets people
talking right from the get go. Forming alliances and
partnerships between technology and equipment
providers can be key to survival and peer networking is
a vital start to getting new alliances off the ground.

shifting mining economy?

11.30 Understanding the Client’s True Pain Points and
Tailoring your Solution to Match Those
• Developing lines of questioning that will reveal true
pain points
• Utilising VLM to link their problems back into your
product offerings
• Working with clients past the point of sale to make
sure your solution really does help with that problem
– an unhappy client means no repeat business!
Michael Lang,
Managing Director, SG Partners
12.00 Collaborating With Other Solution Providers in the
Industry to Increase Brand Awareness and Market
Opportunity
It’s better to be great at your offering, than a jack of
all trades, but master of none. However, creating
strategic partnerships with other METS can help you
increase your product offering without stretching your
company too thin.
• Identifying gaps in your solution range and ideal
companies who would sit in that gap
• Building a business case for a strategic partnership
with another solution provider on particular projects
• Creating a multi-company marketing message to
promote both interests and expertise areas
Greg Schultz,
BHP Account Manager,
Rockwell Automation South Pacific
12.30 Lunch and Networking Break
13.30 Smart Content Creation and Marketing
Content is king – the well-known mantra of marketers
around the globe. It’s true; there is a whole range of free
content available online, on any topic. The key is
understanding how you can create content that will
help you increase sales.
• Exploring the range of content available online and
the benefits/restrictions of each
• Understanding the goal for each piece of content
creation – branding vs. lead generation
• Making the most of your content opportunity
– it is not a sales pitch!
• Why does some content fail? Common pitfalls and
how to overcome them
Megan Edwards,
General Manager, Mining IQ
14.00 Effective Sales Messaging to Reinvigorate your
Brand
With 2015 looking to be the year mining starts to
bounce back, many suppliers are in need of a sales
model overhaul. What’s worked for the last 24 months
will not necessarily work moving forward.
• Re-thinking your sales model for a new, but
uncertain, mining economy
• Understanding what your clients really want from
you – and how to convey that in the message out to
prospects

on sales and customer service

to know your fellow attendees. Prizes on offer for the
winning team!
