T LIP MEDIA TIMELINE “We are all navigating this new normal together. As we lock arms virtually and try to help one another in the ways we can, our vast world suddenly feels a little smaller and a lot more connected. And for that, we are grateful.” – Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Tulip Media Group is committed to empowering Client-Partners so they can achieve greater business results through an easy and effective “SMartketing” strategy. As part of our core value of transparency and open communication, we continue to share our evolution of Tulip Media Group in this regular update. These are most unprecedented times. Businesses are struggling right now, many of them being hit much harder than others. At Tulip Media, we are no exception. We felt the hit of COVID-19, but are choosing to react to hit head on and finding the opportunity in all this chaos. HERE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE: NEW OFFERING - “SMARKETING” OFFERING & CONSULTING. “SMarketing” has changed our business development strategy at Tulip Media over the past eight months and is now doing the same for a few of our early adopter Client-Partners. Our “SMarketing” program allows you to automate the first half of your sales process – which will make the second half much more successful using fewer resources. Read more on page 10 & 11. 3CEOS.

THE BLOW OF COVID-19. Like so many other businesses around the world, Tulip Media has been hit hard by the recent crisis. Overnight, our entire team was forced to work from home, which fortunately we were able to do quite easily. Then, within two weeks of the widespread lockdown, our company lost over 20% of Client-Partners with more pausing their engagements for a few months. No company is immune to this crisis. However, instead of freezing and waiting for the storm to settle, our team decided to react proactively and find the opportunity in this chaos. The result is the fast-tracking of our “SMarketing” program roll out. With companies needing to pivot the way they reach new customers right now this new program offering is extremely well positioned. So much so, that just in the past four weeks, we have signed on a record number of new Client-Partners! We have not yet recovered to where we were before, however, we are well on the way. With any upset and massive change, there is always opportunity. WHERE’S ANDY? Since the second edition of Andy’s book, How to Win Clients and Influence People, has been released, he’s been busy with keynote presentations and conferences. This quarter, Andy made an appearance at an IBANB insurance event and was also featured on Bill Gallagher’s Scaling Up Podcast as well as The Melting Pot hosted by Dominic Monkhouse.
