FAQ
Questions about the B.U.I.L.D. process
What is the B.U.I.L.D. framework?
B.U.I.L.D. is Nerd Herd’s five-stage process for HVAC and building-product marketing: Brand, Understand, Implement, Launch, and Deliver. It takes a manufacturer from scattered marketing activity to a plan, live campaigns, and results reported on the P&L.
What are the five stages of the B.U.I.L.D. framework?
Brand, Understand, Implement, Launch, and Deliver. Brand makes sure buyers know why you win. Understand puts every dollar where it pays back. Implement gets campaigns live and reps equipped. Launch nurtures leads until they buy. Deliver shows results on your P&L through quarterly reviews and a growth roadmap.
Where does Discovery fit in the B.U.I.L.D. process?
Discovery is the first step of the Understand stage. We spend one day on site with your leadership team, then present your roadmap within 48 hours, so every stage after it starts from an agreed plan.
How long does the B.U.I.L.D. process take?
It starts with Discovery: one day on site, with your roadmap in 48 hours. The full strategy and plan package, Discovery included, takes 30 to 60 days. Then the monthly work begins, as Implement, Launch, and Deliver continue while your marketing runs and improves.
Do we have to start at the beginning?
No. Most clients start at Brand or Understand, and some already have a strong brand and start at Implement. We assess where you are on the strategy call.
