THINK BIG!, start small, move fast…
       To think big is to dream big. Imagine you are at
       the end of the process and define what success
       looks like
       Being busy all the time makes it hard to what
       actions most effective to achieve specific
       objectives.
       Define success, then identify few small things
       that can be started now, linked to the big idea.

Learn from Your Customers’ Digital Body
Language
       Buyers are now different
       - They don’t learn from sales, they learn from your site
       What they do on your site is their digital body language
       - Learn to read it and respond their level of involvement
       - Stay at their pace
       Feed it back to your sales team
       - But, only when the prospect is ready!

       - Less is more

       - Electronically tailored

       Start by monitoring
       - Look for hot buttons

© 2011 280 Group LLC.

Have Courage at Launch
       Oftentimes the courage they had to build the
       product turns into denial about what it really takes
       to build a viable business
       Companies spend millions and many months
       developing product, but don’t plain realistically for
       launch and marketing costs
       - E.g. $3M for development, only $50K for launch
       Start marketing and go-to-market planning even
       before product build commitment
       Without “Marketing Courage” don’t build product
© 2011 280 Group LLC.
Make Your CFO a Social Media Fan
       Social media definitely pays off, but you've got to focus on the
       approach, not the tools
       How to justify the ROI?
       - Recent Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) survey - only 20 percent felt social media
         produced measurable ROI and 62 percent hoped it may someday
       Not just another media channel
       Holistic approach for improved customer support and customer collaboration
       Result of survey (B2B customers)
       - Users – Generated 32 percent more ideas
       - Employees – Spent 42 percent more time communicating with customers, better
         retention rate
       - Support calls dropped 28 percent (Lower costs!)
       - Sales to new customers jumped 27 percent (More revenue!)

Apply SEO Fundamentals Everywhere
       You are writing for two audiences: the search engines that
       index the content and the people who read it
       Key approaches –blogs, webpages, videos, slides, etc.
       - Identify target keywords and phrases
       - Use target keywords repeatedly in domain name, account
         names, file names, H1 – H3 elements, ALT text, first
         sentences of paragraphs
       - Good meta description – 160 characters – used as “snippet”
         by search engine–increases clickthrough rates
       - Avoid same cointent at separate URLs on website
       - Syndicated copies link pack to original
       - Trademarks at end of title
© 2011 280 Group LLC.
Help Customers Cost-Justify Your Product
       ROI calculator should show current costs and how
       your product/ service will directly save the customer
       money
       B2B customers have approval process that requires
       justification for purchasing product
       ROI calculator is key sales enablement tool
       -   Show current costs and potential savings
       -   Show increased revenues
       -   You supply the spreadsheet to calculate ROI
       -   Customer supplies numbers
       Keep it simple to encourage usage
© 2011 280 Group LLC.
You Are Not Your Customer
       If you can't convey your product and its benefits to
       customers in two sentences or less, something is
       wrong
       “Customer” can be buyer or influencer
       Must know demographics, buying cycles, price
       sensitivity, past experiences
       You cannot know all this in advance – you must
       ask
       “Your mother actually does need to understand
       what you do” – don’t assume audience
© 2011 280 Group LLC.
Unite Sales and Marketing to Drive Revenue
       Successful marketing companies are learning to transcend the
       old silos of sales and marketing to form teams that jointly
       manage both marketing and sales pipelines
       Really single revenue funnel - not separate marketing and
       sales pipelines
       - Make critical allocation decisions
       - Need solid understanding of costs at each stage with details
          by campaign
       Team monitors web traffic / inquir y / marketing qualified lead,
       / sales accepted lead / opportunity /closed deals
       Results are increased revenues and more “pleasant” way to
       work
© 2011 280 Group LLC.
Keep Sales Messages Different from Product
  Documentation
       Effective marketing messages are structured around each
       step in the sales cycle and focused on the people who make
       the decision or recommendation
       Product documentation aimed and users and support people
       Marketing collateral educates prospect about product,
       differentiation, benefits
       Understand sales cycle and decisions at each stage
       - collateral addresses issues and concerns at each stage
       - Objective is to get agreement to move to next stage of cycle,
          leading to sale
