PRO TIP FOR TRADESHOWS

USE Ipads with pardot forms on them at the booth. This way you remove

manual input of data, and lead routing.

@msweezey

DYNAMIC The cool kids are all

Marketing must be contextual across all channels, and specific to the moment. This means a minimum of the following connected systems: •  CRM (system of record) •  Marketing Automation (system of engagement)

•  Website (owned engagements) •  Product (increased value)

Context Must be dynamic

@msweezey

Web personalization: 57% of high performers use web personalization, where only 5% of underperformers use it.

@msweezey @msweezey

A better way to make it There are an infinitely growing number of marketing

channels which require content. This brings about a new level of content we must produce. The only way to create enough content with a high enough success demands a new foundation on how we execute marketing campaigns. We must learn from other business departments who have faced similar issues.

Place your pin on the blue dot. Your goal will be to close your eyes

and then draw a straight line to the red dot. Stop when you get there.

Your line probably looks like this.

Now try again, but feel free to stop when ever you want. Leave

your pen on the paper, and open your eyes. Recalibrate, close your eyes then continue to draw your line. Take as many stops as you

want.

Your second line probably looks like this.

Agile Theory

Small and frequent iteration is the key to success when you operate in dynamic environments. Our marketing enjoinment is dynamic since our consumer, and channels are constantly changing. Technology also has now caught up to a place where instant iteration is possible.

John, There is a video in our resource library on Lead nurturing best practices, here’s a link to it. It was recorded with Jay Baer.

John, I’m not sure if you follow this guy on social. But If you’re on Twitter you might want to check out @jaybaer. We’ve just shot a webinar..

Tactics Agile is more than just a buzz word

The modern building process

High and low performers use the same tactics, but high performers

see 2x-3x the value. “

@msweezey

Conclusion Putting a bow on all of this

You must transform the way you see marketing, not just

the tools and tactics. “
