Establish your Sales & Marketing Foundation

Editor's Notes

  1. Interview experts within your company Reach out to current customers for short, 30 minute interviews Reach out to prospects that your sales team recently lost (if possible)
  2. Use the Alexa Toolbar to find yours and your competitors’ traffic rankings. overall look at your competition’s digital marketing efforts, use HubSpot’s Marketing Grader to see where everyone stands. Search your target keywords and note who comes up List out what social media sites your competitors are on Search each of your competitors’ sites for a blog Search each of your competitors’ sites for a resources page promoting any type of offer and try to download them
  3. major needs and challenges that this persona faces How is your company’s solution categorized by this persona What are the main benefits that this persona gets from your solution? How does your solution differentiate positively from your direct competitors? Indirect competitors?
  4. narrow your initial list down to about 3 to 5 keyword that your client base would probably be searching Use either Google Adwords or HubSpot’s Keyword Tool for the actual research. Consider how many searches a keyword gets, and what the search results for a keyword look like. PILLAR CONTENT IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE
  5. List out every piece of content that you currently have and connect specific offers to both personas Create and prioritize a list of offers and pieces of premium content that you will need to either rework, repurpose or create in order to start filling any gaps found in the persona-buyer’s journey table
  6. Consider different ways in which you can help leads move through the buyer’s journey through automation Do your forms ask questions that your sales team needs to know Are you utilizing progressive profiling Are you using thank you pages over inline messages?
  7. Do you have a current database of contacts? Analyze the data to see what has shown success in the past - DO A/B TESTING Know who you will be emailing so you can tailor your content and voice. Know what you will want to generally share.
  8. Analyze what your competitors are doing? Pick which social platforms are best for you. Create a publishing strategy that answers the following questions for every platform you’ve decided to target: Establish a monitoring and engagement strategy.
  9. Review your current strategy and establish a baseline Spend time reviewing your personas and utilize what you know about their goals and challenges Create a list of keywords you would like to start ranking for long tail keywords - IF YOU’RE IN A TOUGH INDUSTRY FOR KEYWORDS Get buy-in from subject matter experts - BE SEEN AS A TOUGHT LEADER
  10. SET GOALS FOR EVERY CAMPAIGN - website traffic, lead generation, qualified lead generation and customer generation Always ask yourself - Is it specific (or is it broad)? Is it measurable (can I say 100% if it was a success or not)? Is it attainable (realistic targets)? Is it relevant (does it contribute to my business)? Is it time-bound (is the timing right)?
