SMARKETING: To me it’s the best way to enter a new market quickly. It’s the strategic use of compelling content used by people actually doing the selling to move break down barriers and move the sale forward, whether they’re there in person or not.
Sales 1.0: people won’t pick up the phone anymore. Calls go straight to voicemail. Even the assistants don’t answer the phone, and it’s so hard to get a call back.Cold emails don’t work anymore, especially when they’re direct solicitations.

Marketing is sales without accountability.Awareness doesn’t pay the bills.
Content: feeds the need to learn, research
Sales people have very similar traits to direct marketing. One of the things that the modern “sales 2.0” movement has done, however, is to weaken sales people.Sales people, even in a sales 2.0 or smarketing mind-set, have to gain commitment and ask for the order. All the large “social media” software companies still use a direct sales approach: Bazaarvoice, salesforce.com,
Use example of KPI Online Interviews, ShipServe, Tom Myers, Copywriting Handbook by Bob Bly

Your buzz piece is what you’re going to use to put your stake in the ground.Create a new concept, state a problem you solve or a bold benefit you offer in a non-commercial way. It’s an informative special report. It’s the foundational content that forms the basis of all the rest of your content: blog, newsletter, webinars, videos, PowerPoints, speeches
Your buzz piece is your “absentee sales person”
It can be an eBook, a web app, a white paper, a video, a “Top 10 list”
Places to spread content: blog posts, video, buzz piece. Don’t spend too much time here. You’re supposed to be SELLING!
Google: Industry Associations, Top 10, 50, 100, 500 listsLinkedIn Groups: Find Industry Associations, groups dedicated to certain industries,Tweepsearch: keywords in profile
