Sales territory and management of sales quotasanjay_sarkar
Here are two potential issues when salespeople are asked to set their own quotas:
1. Overly ambitious quotas: Salespeople may be overly optimistic and set quotas too high without properly considering market realities and limitations. This could lead to missed quotas and demotivation.
2. Lack of objectivity: Salespeople may set quotas that are too low in order to easily achieve them and earn incentives, rather than having ambitious yet realistic targets. This does not truly push performance and may not be in the best interests of the company.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
I themed this deck using Baldur's Gate 3 characters: Gale as Search and Astarion as Social
Conferences like DigiMarCon provide ample opportunities to improve our own marketing programs by learning from others.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

document composed of an analysis of current marketing situation,
opportunities and threats for the firm, marketing objectives and
strategy specified in terms of the ‘four P’s,’ action program, and
projected or pro forma income (and other financial) statements.”
● That may sound like a lot, but it’s easy to break down!
3. The Four P’s
● The four P’s are: Promotion, production, product, and place.
Also known as the “marketing mix.”
● Promotion is communicating value
● Product is creating value
● Price is capturing value
● Place is delivering value
4. Place
● Place deals specifically with retail and marketing channel
management, also known as supply chain management.
● There are a certain set of techniques to make the place aspect run
smoothly and effectively. Suppliers, warehouses, and stores must
run a smooth and seamless operating system so goods and
services delivered in efficient way, while staying on budget
5. Price
● The key to determining price is to figure out how much value a
consumer places on a product, and in turn, how much they are
willing to pay for it.
● The price will need to create a profit
6. Planning, Implementation, Control
● The planning, implementation, and control phases are all
important aspects of the marketing plan.
● Each phase has multiple steps to create the best possible
marketing plan
● The plan may change or be adjusted upon completing a phase, or
a step within the phase
7. Planning Phase
● The planning phase is where a firm or company defines critical
objections. In addition, the firm will also create a mission
statement and a positioning statement.
● A mission statement is a broad description of objectives. A firm
will use their mission statement to answer questions such as,
“What type of business are we?” and “What do we need to
accomplish?”
8. Implementation Phase
● The implementation phase as multiple steps included in it. These
include the SWOT analysis and STP.
● SWOT analysis is strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal, while
opportunities and threats are external.
● STP is segmentation, targeting, and positioning. These important
parts of the marketing plan are how a firm decides which specific
segment of a market to target, and how to position their products
towards said segmented target.
9. Control Phase
● The control phase is how a firm evaluates its performance. This
may include marketing metrics and a portfolio analysis.
● In a portfolio analysis, the management will evaluate the many
products a firm is marketing. After the evaluation, the
management will allocate financial resources in accordance with
the profit.
10. Conclusion
● Every step and phase of the marketing plan plays a crucial role in
creating an effective plan.
● A strategic planning process can go back and forth between steps
and phases to create the most successful plan. This can be
situational.
