Cold calling…
…blast emailing
And even old fashioned entertaining!...
Cartoon, or image of someone at dinner.
Yes, people still do this.
…has given way to a more complex (and jumbled) web of Marketing Technology...

Chatting

Data Lists
Collaborating
Landing Pages

a seemingly endless number of
MarketingTech configurations.

Webinars
Content Development
Automation
…where RELEVANT Content delivery is front and center.

The CMO…
…or CMT
That’s Chief Marketing Technologist, if you
have one.
…or if you’re a small business owner…
YOU
…is faced with the daunting task of
1. researching (sorting through many providers)
2. acquiring (negotiating with many providers)
3. staffing for (avoiding the weak link)
4. deploying (getting everything to work together)
5. and optimizing this
… into some semblance of this…

CONTENT
Overwhelming, isn’t it?
OK, Let’s Start From The
Beginning!
The Main Goal of Creating and Delivering Content,
by whatever means, …Old School New School

… is to engage a prospect in a MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION about your product/service offering, whether it’s…
There are other reasons to deliver content; building brand awareness, SEO, engagement, reduce acquisition
cost, …
On-line
In-Person On the phone…
At an event
…which hopefully leads to a
SALE!
…but none of that matters unless you sell something! That’s why “driving
sales” is the top reason for developing content!
But it seems these days with the abundance of MarketingTech to choose
from, there is a lot of jumping through …
Or burning through….
…to see what works!
SO WHAT’S NEXT?
TRY
Dollars!
This is where it gets a little wordy.
What?
Every time a prospect meets with a salesperson, the prospect could have done something else with their time.
In Econ 101, that’s referred to as an
OPPORTUNITY COST.
What’s the potential opportunity cost for a prospect?
Find out, ask them, research it.
Their hourly wage. Cost of not seeing a patient.
Foregone meeting with a client.Lost sale.
Personal time lost.
Less billable hours.Lost productivity.
THEN OFFSET IT, and BUY THERE TIME!
What better way to meet with a prospect than to Value Their Time!
Don’t take it the wrong way!
Content has it’s place.
But the simple fact is in a competitive market, where everyone is investing in, creating and delivering quality Content,
Content is not hard to find.
So how do $ make their way into today’s MarketingTech web?

Hey! It’s no longer about prospecting for meetings via Content. It’s about Branding,
Advertising, Promoting…
Go Direct.
$ Paid To A
Prospect
So it’s not a
match,
but a “What comes next one?”
$ Contentvs.
And given that $
- can be directly valued (unlike Content)
- can distintermediate the main purpose of Content
- and is a lot easier to figure out…
What’s the “true cost of content”, and how does that translate into a Meaningful discussion with a
prospect, and then into a sale? I bet you have to estimate, or give
a range for this value.
If they had to choose, would a client take your content, or the $
you paid to develop and distribute the content? When it’s meeting time, the truth is, they want to know about your
solution, not a value add piece! Skip the content, and pay the
prospect. WIN – WIN!
No expensive web of MarketingTech to figure
out, in hopes to making it work. $ Work!!!!
…we believe $ will find a seat close to Content, near the front row.
