Why targeting is a strategy in its own right. Segmentation and targeting often go hand in hand.

One of the big stories of the year 2021 and the Covid-19 pandemic has been the “Great Resignation” of workers in many consumer and business sectors. There are a variety of reasons cited.

A base of one-time buyers is a recipe for a sinking business. To gain a lifelong customer, a business has to embrace customer delight ideas. Your company can only live off of short-term customers for so long — to thrive, it needs lifelong buyers who deliver consistent sales. Winning customers’ loyalty takes persistence, though. It’s more than covering the basics — fulfilling orders, offering customer support, delivering on-time.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

I once read that the most accurate weather forecast is tomorrow will be the same as today. That may or may not be true, but it doesn’t matter: because what’s really important is predicting when the weather will change. That’s what warns you to bring an umbrella for the afternoon when it’s sunny in the morning, or buy milk before a blizzard, or evacuate before a hurricane.

When times are good, attribution is secondary to the success. Everyone’s hitting their goals, so there’s not too much finger-pointing. But when times are not-so-good, attribution becomes one of the biggest sources of friction between sales, marketing, and leadership.

Why then, in a world of on-demand, streaming, watch-where-when-and-how-you-like content, do we B2B marketers still insist on promoting live Webinars, and expect attendees to show up on a specific day at a specific time, fully cognizant they’ll have the option to watch the recorded event at a later date?

Lack of insights about buyers creates an inability to solve problems. Over the last twenty years, since founding the concept of buyer personas, I have worked with many leaders. Leaders that are responsible for their overall business, marketing, or sales functions. What I often hear is the need to get more insights about their buyers and customers.

What’s the most important goal for any content marketer? If you said to grow organic traffic , you’re not alone — it’s the most common answer. But it’s also incorrect. The primary goal of any content must be to influence consumer behavior. When content influences consumer behavior, it drives bigger results than just earning more website traffic. It turns that traffic into real leads , conversions, sales, and ultimately even brand advocates.
