The Current State of Content Marketing

Posted by Brittany Green on Oct 20, 2015 11:50:27 AM

Marketing concepts have come a long way in recent years. Today, customers have shut off the traditional world of marketing by fast-forwarding through television commercials and becoming immune to advertisement banners online (Source: Content Marketing Institute, 2015). Buyers no longer want to hear what marketers have to say. As a result, marketers have been forced to turn to  different tactics in an effort to get buyers to listen to their messages.

Sales Pitch Enabled with a Sales Enablement App

Posted by Prannay Sethi on Sep 19, 2014 11:30:00 AM

If you thought that you could repeat the same sales pitch to every customer that you come across, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. The customer, today, is a lot more knowledgeable with readily available access to information around the web. For this reason, it is always beneficial to cater to each customer’s need individually and to provide them with information relevant only to them. This is achieved with the help of sales enablement apps. These apps are designed to equip your sales reps with relevant information and answers when engaging with a customer over a sales call. For example, if you are a manufacturing company, then your sales enablement software should enable your sales executives to share the right messages with the right customers at the right time.

Storytelling as a Sales Enablement Tool

Posted by Kent Potts on May 7, 2014 4:32:08 PM

The digital age has provided us with thousands of tools, one being sales enablement, to help us determine how our sales and marketing teams are performing, what content is converting and how people are responding to our message. But, tools can only tell us the raw facts and data. Humans still need to be a part of the equation to decipher and analyze. Even then, we might not know why someone decided to come to us in the first place; did they accidentally click a Facebook ad or were they intrigued by your CTA on another webpage? When it comes down to it, we’re still dealing with people and the power of “personalization” is going to continue being prevalent.

Sales Enablement: Close the Gap between Sales and Marketing

Posted by Tara Anderson on Oct 28, 2013 11:00:00 AM

In every company’s mind there is a topic that comes up about changing the sales game.  The strategy of sales and marketing is more combined than ever and that is the big part of the change.  Companies need to organize how they are advancing in sales on a consistent basis so that they don’t lose out on any new prospects.

In my opinion, sales enablement collectively brings sales and marketing together.  I define it as technology that dramatically increases yours sales team’s productivity and effectiveness.  Forrester Research defines sales enablement as a “strategic, ongoing process that equips all client-facing employees with the ability to consistently and systematically have a valuable conversation with the right set of customer stakeholders at each stage of the customer’s problem-solving life cycle to optimize the return on investment of the selling system.”

Evolution of Marketing

Posted by Tara Anderson on Sep 30, 2013 11:00:00 AM

How is marketing evolving?  A simple, straight forward question and here is the answer.  It is all in recognition to the Internet.  Businesses are no longer relying on TV ads, billboards and radio ads which are all examples of “outbound marketing”.  They are gaining knowledge about new products through the web.  This has given additional processes for researching and buying these new products.  The most common web assisted way of communicating these new methods is through social media which is an example of “inbound marketing”.  Here is a list of more examples of inbound and outbound marketing to show more understandable descriptions of the two.
