The future of marketing is about being human, because humans don't remember the pitch, they remember the experience. We've got to stop thinking like marketers and start acting like humans to delight our prospects and customers at every touch point. Let's put on our human hats and create an experience worth writing home about.

28. Every touch point matters.
From the first blog post they read,
to the last support call they make.
29. If marketing is even going to have a future.
It needs to be about helping humans.
30. Here are 5 tips to help
keep your marketing human.
31. 1 People, not prospects.
Prospects are people first,
business opportunities second.
Email, call, and tweet accordingly.
32. 2 Open Your…Ears
Your prospects and customers are tweeting,
blogging, and sharing their thoughts on your
company, product, and industry every single
day. Listen up, you may learn a thing or two.
33. 3
Take a Walk in Their Shoes
Next time you send an email or write a blog
post, ask yourself “Would I want to read
this?” If you, a human (presumably), find the
message annoying, irrelevant, or pushy,
chances are your recipient will too.

Nurture Your Relationships
As marketers, we need to offer our prospects support every
step of the way with the right content, at the right time.
‘Always be guiding’ is the new ‘always be closing’.
35. 5 Delightion
Delightion* means making people
happy before, during, and, after they
become customers. Customer
satisfaction is old-school, customer
delightion is the way of the future.
*you’ll see it in the dictionary one day.

Ambitious

Dharmesh: Took out the “is…” because the next slide doesn’t answer the question.
Dharmesh: Changed to “but first this…”
Baby in clown suit
Dharmesh: Changed to “is about being” (instead of using the word “lies”).
Dharmesh: Changed to “this includes marketers” (
Dharmesh: Fixed typo to read: “wind in sails”
Dharmesh: I would take one more run at these 5 points and reduce the volume of text. People don’t like to read.
Dharmesh: I like this and the next slide. Lets keep them in.
Dharmesh: Lets shorten the list to maybe 5, and use all gender-neutral ones. I also like the “spread” of different kinds of adjectives. I’m thinking: parents, gardeners, ambitious, impatient
Dharmesh: Fixed typo (an email). Quick tactical note: For these slides, better to use a single text box and just change the font/size for the word you want to highlight (instead of having two separate boxes). Easier to edit text, and less likely to get messed up on different monitors.
Dharmesh: Changed Slideshare to a presentation (more generic, and not trademarked).
Dharmesh: Lets put a link in to a specific follow-up resource (not sure what it should be). We should also use a bit.ly link for it, so we can track clicks.
