Editor's Notes
- “Sell Something and You Make a Customer Today. Help Someone and You Create a Customer for Life” – Jay BaerChange the mantra of “Always be Closing” to “Always be Helping” and in order to be helpful marketers need remarkable contentMarketers need to make this change due to the shift in how professionals engage with each other, brands and services.Buyers are now in control. They’re tired of being sold to. By helpingyou are better able to build a relationship with them. All other things being equal, people are more likely to buy from a company with whom they have a relationship. Building a relationshiprequires you to create remarkable content that people love. Mediocre content won’t get the job done. Remarkable content is content that inform, educate and inspireJay Baer Quotes – Jay will be keynoting the day before and recently published his new book Youtility which is all about this mentality:“The Difference Betweent Helping and Selling is Just 2 Letters” – Jay Baer“Sell Something and You Make a Customer Today. Help Someone and You Create a Customer for Life” – Jay Baer
- Having great content isn’t enough – Marketers also need to understand context.On LinkedIn, the context is professional and aspirationalMarketers who match their remarkable content messaging to the aspirational mindset on professional networks will deepen relationships and have a much larger impact on their target audience.If you’re genuinely helping customers be more productive and successful, they will line up to consume your content again and again, and you will in turn build relationshipsand ultimately earn their trust and consideration
- Buyer behavior has shifted dramatically since the onset of the social eraBuyers are in control; they’re highly skeptical and fed up with companies talking about themselves. Buyers are 60% of the way thru their purchase process before they initiate contact with companiesBut buyers want and need information relevant to their important business and personal decisionsSo you need to help them, not sell to them. This will help you build relationships early and stay top of mind.

- There’s clearly an Opportunity to deliver a much better Content Experience
- The Irrelevant Content Journey (The Mask)Constantly bombarded with marketing messages that hit and miss in regards to relevance. It’s a terrible experience that is only getting worse.That means creating compelling content that speaks directly to your target audience. Or, in the words of online marketing expert Bryan Eisenberg, ”speak to the dog, in the language of the dog, about what matters to the heart of the dog.” (http://www.bryaneisenberg.com/the-number-1-rule-for-content-marketing/)Insights can yield a much better experience by delivering content that understands the motivations behind one's thoughts or behavior.
- Tactic 1: Customers first approach.
- River Pools, for example, grew their company from almost out of business to the largest pool seller in the US in four years. They set up a blog an used it to answer the most frequently asked questions, which then became a popular e-book. Now, 75% of their customers complete a purchase without ever talking to a real person.The atomic half-life of content is much longer than that of advertising; your content pays off far after you’ve created it.
- Tactic 2: Creating an emotional relationship with content. Connecting emotionally
- Tactic 3: Inbound + Outbount

- Content that’s Waiting for the MomentA content repository is a crucial part of the marketer’s playbook. This content may be evergreen, and with better targeting can be extremely relevant. Marketo, Openview Partners, and Kissmetrics all have substantial content repositoriesKeeps content organized and eliminates the problem of having content scattered across your website. Hosted, categorized, optimized, searchable, ready to be deployed at a moments notice in a variety of formats. In addition to being a publishing channel, SlideShare can also act as content library/ repository with the added benefits of being embedable, sharable, and trackable.

- Content that’s In the Moment, for the MomentArriving late to the conversation means you’ve missed your opportunityDelivering content that capitalizes on buzz in real-time is tough. Here’s where social listening tools become even more valuable.When one Twitter user joked that a bit of pigeon excrement had totaled a smart car, some number crunching led to the calculation that it would actually take 4.5 million pigeon “craps” to do in the Tridion Safety Cell, which provides the main structure of the car. When an infographic with this research was tweeted, everyone from Buzzfeed to Mashable picked up the story. It even hit the top spot on Reddit twice in a 24-hour span. Almost overnight, this “Humor the Haters” social media campaign turned negative comments about the Smart USA brand into respect.Virgin Holidays launched a great piece of content marketing when gay marriage passedTide had some great In the Moment content during Shark Weekhttp://www.thealistdaily.com/news/tide-we-get-out-blood-stains-too/http://mashable.com/2012/06/21/bird-poop-smartcar/
- Content that’s Anticipating the MomentPredictive analytics allows companies to make better decisions on what marketing content to run, where to run it, and who to target it to. Predictive analytics also helps suggest products customers might like, figures out what devices to optimize your campaign for, and devises the most effective calls to action for driving sales.Predictive publishing helps shape your message and allows you to angle it onto the social network pond in such a way that you will get the most skips (reposts) of your effort. What’s more, those messages will drive your target to action.Example: TrendIn – Predicting where conversations are heading within LinkedIn based on insights around the data that is being consumed.
- Imagine being able to predict the next trend that matters to your customers and prospects, create content that addresses that trend, and beat your competitors to the punch. It will be like Minority Report, the movie with Tom Cruise.
