Is The Way We've Been Doing Marketing And Sales Broken?Drift
Here's how the traditional approach to marketing and sales works:
Step One. Get people to your website.
Step Two. Once people are on your website, get them to convert on a form.
Step Three. After they fill out a form, nurture them with emails and phone calls until they buy from you, unsubscribe, or even worse -- do absolutely nothing, forever.
Yes, I dramatically oversimplified the process, but stick with me for a minute.
Now that we laid out how traditional marketing and sales work, take a second and think about the way that you buy and behave as a consumer.
If you're anything like me, when you're thinking about buying something, I bet the last thing you want to do is fill out a form or talk to a sales rep.
You try to avoid those things at all costs. Because these days, we can find out just about everything we need to know before making a purchase, and many times, we can buy things or get the information we need without ever having to talk to sales at all.
But in our jobs in marketing and sales, we stick to those traditional methods. That's how we do marketing and sales every single day -- because that's how it's always been done. That's how everyone does it.
But there are already examples of companies that have broken the mold of traditional marketing and sales.
Companies like Slack, Buffer, Trello, MailChimp, Zapier, InVision, Shopify, Quip, and others. They let us buy things the way we want to buy them -- on our own time.
Want to try before you buy? Go for it.
Want to buy something without ever talking to sales? Great.
Have a question and need to talk to someone? Yep. You can do that, too.
As Shopify’s chief sales scientist Loren Padelford said about the future of sales: “Our job is to do what our customers want. Customers are in control of the sales process now. We need to customize to the customer process, not to the sales company process.”
Those modern businesses believe helping is the new selling. They believe that customer experience is the new marketing. And they've figured out how to have 1:1 conversations at scale.
We think that there are two paths forward for businesses from here:
1. They can stick to their guns, keep doing what everyone else has been doing, and wait for that threshold level to get higher.
2. They can follow the lead of those modern businesses and change the way they do marketing and sales to match the way that people actually want to interact with a business today.
And that's what we're talking about in this SlideShare -- the future of marketing and sales and why the current model is starting to break.
Sales only closes 2% of MQLs. We can do better. Here are some tools & tactics to help salespeople convert more inbound leads into active sales conversations.
When a lead becomes sales-qualified, a whole set of human challenges come to the fore. Inbound Marketing may have created that opportunity, but Sales is where it will – or won’t – get closed. Dave McLaughlin digs into that distinction, going beyond the ways that Inbound Marketing creates value for Sales to identify where it can cause close rates to drop if you’re not careful. Includes specific solutions for overcoming the top ten obstacles to increasing your close rate and making your team happier and more productive.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.
With over one billion views in a year, it’s no wonder that so many speakers are looking to TED for ideas on how to share their message more effectively.
The article “5 Public-Speaking Tips TED Gives Its Speakers”, by Carmine Gallo for Forbes, gives speakers five practical ways to connect with their audience, and effectively share their ideas on stage.
Whether you are gearing up to get on a TED stage yourself, or just want to master the skills that so many of their speakers possess, these tips and quotes from Chris Anderson, the TED Talks Curator, will encourage you to make the most impactful impression on your audience.

ChatGPT and the Future of Work - Clark Boyd Clark Boyd
Everyone is in agreement that ChatGPT (and other generative AI tools) will shape the future of work. Yet there is little consensus on exactly how, when, and to what extent this technology will change our world.
Businesses that extract maximum value from ChatGPT will use it as a collaborative tool for everything from brainstorming to technical maintenance.
For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
The document provides career advice for getting into the tech field, including:
- Doing projects and internships in college to build a portfolio.
- Learning about different roles and technologies through industry research.
- Contributing to open source projects to build experience and network.
- Developing a personal brand through a website and social media presence.
- Networking through events, communities, and finding a mentor.
- Practicing interviews through mock interviews and whiteboarding coding questions.
Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

3. WHY use video messages in Sales & Support?
• Because sending a video messages convey tone –
which email and text can’t do. This feels attentive,
and makes your clients feel valued.
• Because recipients take action 41% more than email
recipients – and they become more evangelical and
more loyal. (Sources: “Vsnap A/B Test”; Vsnap client case studies)

4. 1. ENGAGE INFLUENCERS
You see an opportunity where some journalist, blogger
or industry heavyweight is focused on your space. How
do you make the most of moments like these?
Send a video message via Twitter and talk about your
shared beliefs. Doing this via Twitter gets you away
from the noise of their email inbox. It lets other people
see you interacting in this way. And it just might mean a
RT from a rockstar.

5. 2. FUNNEL TRIGGERS
One of the great things about Marketing Automation is
that it can tell you when it’s time to switch to more
personal interactions. Your team should have defined
funnel stages around certain events. These are
opportunities to start a real relationship beyond your
drip emails. Use this kind of event as a trigger to send a
warm little video message proposing a next step. When
you show your prospect that you are authentically
engaged, it’s more likely they’ll do the same.

6. 3. EVENT FOLLOWUPS
You come home from a conference with a stack of
cards. Follow up with short, warm video messages to
the highest value leads. Seeing your face will help them
connect to the conversation you had, and they’ll feel
that you’ve paid them the respect of doing something
extra. Remember, they talked to a lot of people at that
show. Make it easy for them to remember you.

7. 4. SOCIAL SELLING
Watch your social networks for events that present
opportunities to touch a Lead. A birthday. A new job. A
story in the news. Use listening tools like HootSuite,
Salesforce Chatter, Nimble, Cloze and others. Then send
a quick video message to give them a pat on the back.
Make the message about them and about their event,
but leave yourselves 15 seconds to ask for a call or
some other next step.

8. 5. PRE-CALL ACCELERANT
Your prospecting activity yields a call on the calendar.
On the morning of the call, send a short video message
to say you’re looking forward to the conversation later
that day. We call this the Accelerant.
When you do this, your prospect becomes less likely to
cancel at the last minute. Also, the call will be warmer
and more direct. See, you’ve made them feel valued,
which introduces a bit of trust. That differentiates you.
That allows you to move to close on some next action.

9. 6. THANK YOUs AND FOLLOW-UPs
Sending an email thank you after a call is the bare
minimum of good manners, but it won’t gain you any
competitive edge. If you want more mindshare, you
have to surprise your prospect. So send a little video
message. Pair it with other followup information. (At
Vsnap, we’ll host other links and documents on the
same viewing page as the video message itself).
PRO-TIP: send a video message to the person’s
assistant to thank them for making scheduling so easy.
They don’t get thanked enough – and you may need
that person’s help later on.

10. 7. PRESENT AN OFFER
You put a lot of effort into creating strong offers. Now
you need to deliver them in the way that drives the
most action. Doing that via video message adds a layer
of thoughtfulness that deepens the response.
Also, making an offer via video message lets you make
an ask at the same time – and track the analytics to
understand what action to take next. Rather than
throwing your precious offer over the transom in just
another email.

11. 8. DECISION-MAKER BRIEFING
You’re working with a project review team. But you
want to be sure your team is top-of-mind when they
bring a recommendation back to the CFO or some
other ultimate decision-maker.
Watch for news that the decision-maker will value, then
deliver that piece of value via video message. Use a
piece of your time to praise the project review team
and to share your excitement about the prospect of
working together.

12. 9. IMPLEMENTERS
You got the deal – great job! But we all know things can
still go sideways. Take a few minutes to send short
video messages to the people who are going to be
critical to a successful implementation. Let them know
you appreciate their hard work, and tell them you’re
available to answer any questions that come up.
Knowing that you value their contributions will make
them work a little harder to get this thing done!

13. 10. SHARE YOUR WINNING SPIRIT
In Sales, you’re at your most powerful right after a win.
That can be a deal, or just a hard-to-get meeting – how
you define a win is up to you. The point is this is the
best time to send a video message because you are at
your most confident and charismatic, and because
people look for social proof before they buy.
So when you win, send check-in video messages to
your other top prospects. Don’t overdo it. Just let them
know that momentum is building, that you’re thinking
of them and you’re available to help.

14. 11. CRM TRIGGERS
If your company tracks client birthdays or anniversaries
of when they first became a client, those are awesome
dates to drop an out-of-the-blue-we’re-thinking-of-you
video message into their LinkedIn inbox or email inbox.
You can do the same with various events that you’ve
defined as opportunities to cross-sell or upsell. Use the
data you’re tracking but take action on it via a warmer
interface – that’s a powerful way to re-engage.

15. 12. GET READY FOR RENEWALS
The secret to high renewals is making sure the client
can measure the value of your product. So before you
get too close to the renewal date, send a video
message and ask what metrics they’re using. Offer to
share measurement best practices from other clients.
You want them to write another check, so you need
them to feel that they mean something to you. But you
don’t have time to call or visit everybody. A video
message is the easiest way to re-establish that
emotional connection. The measurement question is
the perfect hook.

16. KEEP IN MIND…
• When we talk about a personal video message, that means that it
feels personal to the person you’re trying to reach. It’s a law of Sales
& Account Management that about them, not you. (This is why
blast video messages are not highly effective. Blast video messages
are about you, not them).
• Look for emotional events. Every business process has moments of
high risk, triumph, anxiety, excitement, achievement, doubt. Those
are the best times to send video messages. Using an emotional tool
at these times shows that you understand and respect the emotion
your prospect associates with this interaction.
• Vary the location that you send video messages from. You claim
more mindshare when people see you in different backgrounds.
And it communicates to your client that you’re not only thinking
about them when you’re at your desk with a number to hit. Look
for a tool with easy mobile apps.
