Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

Your solution is great. You know the narrative of the type of buyers who buy. You’re writing appropriate content and getting it out to the right demographic. But you’re still closing less than 5% from first contact and spending a ton of resource finding different ways to touch the same people as your competition touches – in hopes that you’ll have the right message that catches them at the right time, or just grind them down.

By Brenna Lofquist , Senior Marketing Consultant at Heinz Marketing. It’s no secret that buyers’ personas are a key element to marketing and sales.

One of my favorite podcasts is the Lessons For Sales Leadership , hosted by Brent Adamson. Both Brent’s skill as an interviewer and his “heavy hitter” guests make this one of my favorites, and one where I learn from great sales leaders. Part of the reason I like the podcast is that Brent interviews some of the most experienced practitioners in the world.

As the marketing industry developed, researchers dove deeper into buying behavior and buyers’ minds. One early researcher was Edward Bernays—Sigmund Freud’s nephew—who coined the term “public relations.”. Bernays believed that people could be influenced via crowd psychology and psychoanalysis. His “Torches of Freedom” campaign in the 1920s promoted smoking among women as a symbol of liberation, opening a new market to cigarette companies.

Back in the late '90s (way back when), SEO was in its infancy. It was almost like the Wild West -- anything goes. Since the rules were loose, both white hat and black hat SEO tactics began to develop. While white hat tactics are an ethical way of improving your organic traffic and search rankings, black hat tactics go against guidelines set by search engines in an unethical way.

Our 2019 World-Class Sales Practices Study linked technology adoption to sales success. Yet, although most organizations have deployed at least 10 sales technology tools—with four more on the way , seller efficiency and effectiveness have not improved. Where’s the disconnect? Lack of seller adoption of the sales technology stack. Even if your organization has all the latest and greatest sales tools, technology that isn’t used effectively can’t help move deals forward.

How much do you know about website indexation? If it's next to nothing, you're not alone. Website indexation is not something you do as a marketer, but a process the search engine carries out when you publish new content online. What marketers need to know is how to ensure you’re set up correctly for indexation. An indexed website helps a site or page actually appear in search engine results — which is typically the first step to ranking and generating traffic.
