CONTENT
Overwhelming, isn’t it?
OK, Let’s Start From The Beginning!

… is to engage a prospect in a MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION about your product/service offering, whether it’s…
There are other reasons to deliver content; building brand awareness, SEO, engagement, reduce acquisi(on
cost, …
On-‐line
In-‐Person
On the phone…
At an event
…which hopefully leads to a
SALE!
…but none of that maiers unless you sell something! That’s why “driving
sales” is the top reason for developing content!
But it seems these days with the abundance of Marke(ngTech to choose from, there is a lot of jumping through …
Or burning through….
…to see what works!
SO WHAT’S NEXT?
TRY
Dollars!
This is where it gets a liHle wordy.
What?
Every (me a prospect meets with a salesperson, the prospect could have done something else with their (me.
In Econ 101, that’s referred to as an
OPPORTUNITY COST.
What’s the poten(al opportunity cost for a prospect?
Find out, ask them, research it.
Foregone mee(ng with a client. Lost sale.
Personal (me lost.
Less billable hours.
THEN OFFSET IT, and BUY THEIR TIME!
What beier way to meet with a prospect than to Value Their Time!
Don’t take it the wrong way!
Content has it’s place.
But the simple fact is in a compe((ve market, where everyone is inves(ng in, crea(ng and delivering quality Content,
Content is not hard to find.
So how do $ make their way into today’s Marke(ngTech web?

Hey! It’s no longer about prospec(ng for mee(ngs via
Content. It’s about Branding, Adver(sing,
Promo(ng…
Go Direct.
$ Paid To A
Prospect
So it’s not a
match,
but a “What comes next one?”
$ Content vs.
And given that $
-‐ can be directly valued (unlike Content) -‐ can dis(ntermediate the main purpose of Content
-‐ and is a lot easier to figure out…
What’s the “true cost of content”, and how does that translate into a Meaningful discussion with a prospect, and then into a sale? I bet you have to es(mate, or give
a range for this value.
If they had to choose, would a client take your content, or the $
you paid to develop and distribute the content? When it’s mee(ng (me, the truth is, they want to know about your solu(on, not a value add piece! Skip the content, and pay the
prospect. WIN – WIN!
No expensive web of Marke(ngTech to figure out, in hopes to making it
work. $ Work!!!!
…we believe $ will find a seat close to Content, near the front row.
