Christopher S. Penn – Marketing AI Keynote Speaker

Author: Christopher S Penn

Do your words reflect your personal brand?
People have spent an awful lot of time working on “developing your personal brand”, from branding kits to webinars to books to flavor of the month social network profile configurations. At the end of the day, however, brand is more about a cumulative effect of impressions left on someone than a carefully tailored headshot or witty profile biography.

If you know what you want your personal brand to be, then I have a challenge for you. Write down your personal brand and a few words that you think you use routinely to reinforce your brand. For example, my personal brand revolves around online marketing. I would expect words like social media, marketing, email marketing, and their like to be common in my speech, in the words I use, to reinforce that brand.

Let’s see if reality matches our self-perception. First, using any Twitter archiving tool of choice, look at your recent tweets. I use the self-hosted version of Twapper Keeper, but you can use ThinkUp or any of the archiving services available. Take the largest body of your own tweets that you can get a hold of – I picked the most recent 10,000. Clean up any obvious garbage in them using your favorite text editor, then feed them to Wordle.net. See if the word cloud that appears reflects the perception you are trying to create.

So far, so good. Next, if you use WordPress, look for the free Export to Text plugin in the Codex. Install it on your blog, and then export the last 6 months of blog posts to an Excel spreadsheet. Again, clean out any garbage using your favorite text editor, like HTML, then feed that to Wordle.

Again, things are looking good. The words I use in my tweets and in my blog posts are reflective of my personal brand, of who I think I am, and of who I would like the world to think I am.

What if your reality doesn’t match your self-perception? What if your words tell a completely different story? You have two basic choices: you can either change your personal brand to match your words, or change your words to match your personal brand. That choice largely boils down to the words that you’re using.

For example, if you find that the vast majority of the words you’re using are fluffy, unimportant drivel or endless social media complaints, you might want to focus on changing your words. Pick something to stand for rather than fight against and work at being cautious in your speech. Choose your words carefully. You’ll find that in addition to enhancing your personal brand, you’ll also refocus your mind and how you think about the world in a more productive light.

If the words you’re using are focused but not on your personal brand, it might be time to re-evaluate your personal brand. If you think your personal brand is about web analytics but the vast majority of your words are about charitable causes, you might be getting a message from your subconscious that you’ve got the wrong brand and focus. Time to take another look in the mirror.

The tools we have at our disposal today to analyze our words give us greater powers of self-insight than ever before. Make use of them to improve your personal brand and yourself!

Premium Content: A Year Later
It’s hard to believe it’s been just over a year since I introduced premium content to my newsletter. In that time period, I also switched (last fall) from a monthly publication to a weekly publication, making the reminders of premium content even more visible. Let’s see what the data looks like now, one year later.

Some notes about the data. This comes directly from my mailing list, with hard bounces removed, for a total of 12,152 entries on a list that is now over 5 years old. We’re looking only at data from the period 3/4/10-present, which is 7,301 entries.

If you recall, premium content subscribers of my newsletter get premium status by completing their full name, title, and company in their newsletter subscription. No financial exchange is required, just personal information. In the data below, you will see the number of fields that were completed, from 0 to 4. Email address is implied since they can’t be on the list without one.

In the year prior to premium content, 3/4/10-3/3/11, the number of profiles with completed profile information:

As you can see, the vast majority of profiles have no information at all, just an email address.

In the year after premium content, 3/4/11-3/3/12, the number of profiles with completed profile information:

The tables have turned with premium content. Now the vast majority of profiles have some kind of personal information, and a majority have complete information.

As we talked about in previous posts, premium content folks have a higher propensity to come back and update their profiles, as well as do activities that are important, such as open and click on emails. Those other numbers are largely unchanged; the behaviors remain strongly positive. What I want to tackle instead is the question of whether frequency matters for premium content and getting people to update their profiles.

Let’s take a look at the completion rate of the list while it was a monthly newsletter, from the period of June 15, 2011 to October 30, 2011:

And weekly, from October 30, 2011 to today:

Putting the newsletter in front of people with premium content in it more frequently does have a slightly increased response rate for profile completeness, a difference of just under 3%. More important, it nudges people with 3 counts over into the 4 count category as well as getting people from the 0 count into higher levels of completion.

So, a year later, should you be using premium content in your newsletters? If you value participation, if you value completeness in your subscriber information, then you should absolutely be using premium content. The differences in list quality are staggering when you give people an incentive to participate and exchange value.

If you’d like to see the premium content in action yourself, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter here.

A day off…
I’m away from everything today to have some wisdom teeth removed. While I’m out, I thought I would leave you with a relaxing three minute video I shot near my office of a vernal stream as the snows melted. Enjoy.

See you next week.

Are you reinforcing your social media content?
Are you getting the biggest bang out of your social media efforts?

If you’re not reinforcing it, then I’d hazard a guess that you aren’t.

What am I talking about? Reinforcement is a mechanism, a set of processes, to help increase the value, reach, and power of your social media efforts. Let’s assume that you’re doing the generally right things – creating content of value, reaching out to interested people, and engaging your audience in conversation. If you do those well, then your social media efforts are likely already successful or on their way to being successful. Congratulations are in order because so many don’t do those well.

However, because of its scale and nature, attention via social media is incredibly transient. Social sharing service Bit.ly made the claim back in September of 2011 that the average lifespan of a link is somewhere around 3 hours. That’s a fairly small window of attention, which means that if you’re doing social media marketing, you would need to be generating new attractors of attention every 3 hours.

That’s where reinforcement comes into play. Rather than have to come up with something new and brilliant every 3 hours (my hat is off to you if you can), you can approach your channels with reinforcement methods. Let’s look at 3 of them.

In-Channel Reinforcement

Applications like Argyle Social and Buffer are the kings of in-channel reinforcement. Don’t just use them for mindless spamming of the 8,472 random things you just read in Google Reader, though. Be a little thoughtful and scientific about their usage.

Look at your friend activity graph on Crowdbooster and reinforce your most valuable shared items at those time periods in-channel. For example, you’ll notice I frequently post on Twitter my day’s blog post with a “For the evening crowd…” tweet right around 8 PM, which is the peak of post-work activity.

By reinforcing in-channel, I am able to extend the life of the material I’m creating or curating.

Cross-Channel Reinforcement

It has been my experience that my social connections vary by network. My connections on Facebook tend to be folks I’ve met in person or who know of me. My connections on Twitter are wildly different, across the spectrum. My connections on Google+ are very much reflective of it being the early adopter/geek set. It’s also my experience that behaviors are different on each network. My connections stay glued to Facebook but don’t pay a lot of attention to any one thing. My connections on Google+ are less frequent visitors and commenters, but when they do jump in, they jump in with both feet.

To this end, I reinforce by going cross-channel. To give you an idea of workflow, I collate all of the stuff that I think is worth sharing for the day in Evernote, then format it for Twitter. That’s where I post #the5. I then create a separate version of the same material with added commentary or opinion for Google+ and Facebook if appropriate.

By reinforcing material cross-channel, I reach different crowds of people. Some items that are popular and retweeted like crazy on Twitter are totally ignored on LinkedIn and vice-versa.

Out-Of-Channel Reinforcement

The final piece of reinforcement that I find effective is out of channel, where I use non-social methods to reinforce social media. Here’s a fun stat: 50% of the traffic I get out of my social media marketing efforts comes from non-social channels.

How does that work? Simple: by collating all of the stuff I intend to share that day in Evernote, I have a repository at the end of the week that I can then reformat and place in my weekly newsletter. That gives added new life to the things that I’m trying to share, and in many cases things that got missed during the week’s activities get found and seen in the email wrap-up. Daniel Johnson Jr. wrote to me recently to say this about the newsletter:

“This wasn’t Almost Timely… it was definitely timely!!! It’s hard to keep up with posts throughout the week, so I appreciate that you compile the best stuff to include here.”

It’s difficult to overstate the importance of Daniel’s comment. When your content gets noticed, it has a 3 hour shelf life. When your content doesn’t get noticed, it has no life at all. Reinforcing with channels like email marketing can get it in front of people who missed it the first few times around, because email is a fundamentally different set of behaviors than social media channels.

Conclusion

If you’re not reinforcing your content, there’s a good chance it’s not getting the attention it deserves because we’re all so distracted, trying to pay attention to many channels at once. Think about how you could give it some extra life by reinforcing it, then go try it out.

Google+ states that it has no character limit, but your system and browser capacity may limit it. Some folks have found that it’s in excess of 100,000 characters. To avoid putting you through that, you can simply visit piday.org and see pi out to 1,000,000 places, then copy-paste for as long as your computer’s RAM holds out.

What do Klout scores say about purchase intent? [NEW STUDY]
Those of you who follow closely know that I’ve been asking about putting together back issues of my newsletter as a purchaseable eBook. One of the questions in the survey was about what price, if any, you would pay for such an eBook compilation. I also asked for your Twitter handle so I could follow you back and do some data analysis.

In that spirit, I took the respondents of the survey, 67 of them who provided Twitter handles, and ran Klout and PeerIndex on them with the simple question: does influence have any correlation to purchase intent? The reason I’m curious about this is that if there were a strong correlation, when we go targeting audiences for social media campaigns, that influence score could be used as a proxy for purchase intent and help us target better.

A few comments about the data: this data is not representative. It is self-selected respondents to a survey who are members of my audience. There’s a built-in bias to the survey – if you don’t like me, chances are you don’t follow me, and therefore wouldn’t have any purchase intent either. Conversely, everyone responding to this survey should have some built-in purchase intent as people who follow me and care enough to respond to a self-selected voluntary survey. Before you go post this on Mashable as the next great research study, know that it does not pass any tests for representation of population at large. (yes, as a bit of tongue in cheek, I labeled this post [NEW STUDY] even with these conditions)

So, without further ado, Klout:

And PeerIndex:

For the non-statistically minded, these are very weak correlations, so weak that they’re nearly meaningless on their own. (they are just barely statistically valid, too – 67 df and a two-tailed p of 0.287 for Pearson is just scraping the line)

Take a step back and consider that this is an audience with a built-in bias, so there’s already some latent purchase intent that wouldn’t be there in a representative sample of the population. I draw the reasonable conclusion that influence scores are no predictor whatsoever of purchase intent. Now, you might say, “Well duh, that’s perfectly logical, they’re two separate behaviors” and you’d be correct…

… except that there are marketers and agencies (I’ve talked to a few at conferences and events recently) who are using influence scores as the be-all and end-all of their data-driven marketing efforts. Everything they are currently doing is focused on those influence scores, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, especially in light of the fact that I can’t get more than a meager correlation out of a biased audience.

The bottom line is, influence scores appear to not say a whole lot about who will actually buy from you – so don’t use them for that end.

Top 12 iOS Apps for Sales and Marketing Professionals
Are you a selling professional who needs to have the best toolkit available to get your job done? Do you have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) that serves a sales function? Then I’ve got a list for you of top apps you should have and be actively using. I’m going to ignore obvious choices like the email client, web browser, etc. because it’s assumed you’re already using those and they’re installed by default anyway. All of the apps below are in the App Store. Most of them are free.

1. Evernote. The grand-daddy of all note-taking apps, Evernote keeps getting more and more powerful at the same low price of free. I use it to take notes, to make to-do lists, to scan receipts, to write blog posts, and so much more. Start writing on the desktop, sync to your mobile, and vice versa.

2. Cardmunch. This business card scanner is practically mandatory for anyone dealing in large quantities of business cards. It’s free from LinkedIn and will automatically check to see if your scanned cards are available as contacts on LinkedIn.

3. Dropbox. Probably the best way to move files around from desktop to mobile and vice versa. I use this all the time with slide decks – make them on the desktop, sync them to the iPad, and I’m ready to go.

4. Goodreader. For those times when someone’s got a peculiar file format, Goodreader is the Swiss Army Knife I use to get it open. I actually use this to show slide decks too – I find it’s better and easier for sitting down next to someone and swiping through a slide deck than the Keynote app.

5. WordPress. The free app is a primitive but “good enough” interface into any WordPress blog, either on WordPress.com or self-hosted. When you’re trying to slap up a blog post or make corrections to your website while sitting in the airport terminal, this app can be a lifesaver.

6. Waze. If you’re an outside sales person, Waze is the most powerful GPS imaginable. Social GPS lets you interact with fellow travelers to report police, hazards, traffic jams, and much more. Hard to believe it’s still free.

7. Google Voice. In concert with a Google Voice account, this app consolidates your voicemail and text messages into one spot and offers mostly good voicemail-to-text conversion, which can be handy to see what a caller had to say.

8. Kindle app. If you’re not learning, you’re not growing your professional skills. The Kindle app syncs with your Amazon eBook purchases and lets you continue to grow while on the road.

9. Google Currents. One of my favorite news apps, you can get an incredible amount of relevant news from various blogs and publishers in one location. I grab Forbes, Fast Company, The Atlantic, XConomy, Venture Beat, Entrepreneur, and a few other publications in here for more brain food.

10. iTunes U. This app syncs with your iTunes U selections in the iTunes store. There’s an amazing number of courses in iTunes U on sales and marketing from dozens of respected universities.

11. Square Register. If you’re in a business where you do in-person sales and can collect while on the road, Square Register is not to be missed. In combination with the Square Card Reader, you can effectively turn your iPad into a cash register and process transactions on the road. Say you’re an author doing book signings. Just bring your crate of books and Square Register, then swipe peoples’ cards and make the sales right then and there.

12. Social network native iOS apps. The networks’ individual apps – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – are useful and helpful if you’re doing social marketing. The Google+ app still leaves a lot to be desired, but all of them are free and worth having if you’re doing social marketing or social sales.

Finally, I’ll include the one piece of hardware that isn’t an app – I use and absolutely love the Zaggfolio keyboard case for my iPad. It turns my iPad into a full-fledged laptop as far as typing is concerned and will convince even the most die-hard skeptic that the iPad can be a laptop replacement for content creation.

Now I’ll turn it over to you: what apps do you find are most powerful for helping you to sell or market better?

Should I dust off the archives?
I was digging through the vast collection of newsletters I’ve sent out over the past 2 years and found, amazingly, that about 25% of the information in each newsletter is durable – that is, it’s still valid up to 2 years later. What’s unfortunate is that all of the content is locked away in my email service provider’s database (WhatCounts email marketing FTW). If you’ve been reading the newsletter and then deleting it after you’re done, you have no way of getting back issues. If you just subscribed, there’s also no way to get back issues.

So here’s my question for you. I can, with a whole heck of a lot of copy-pasting and editing, bring back the old newsletters as a set of eBooks, broken up quarterly. The first volume would probably summarize 2010 through summer 2011, since those were monthly until I switched to a weekly format. Then we’d have fall 2011 and winter 2011 compilations of the weeklies. Note that these would be compendiums, not individual newsletters!

What I’d ask is that you take this quick 3 question survey (with a bit of conditional logic) to let me know your opinion of this idea! If enough people say it’s worth doing at enough of a price point to hammer out the piece, I’ll publish it. If everyone says, no, we don’t really have any interest in that, I’ll just let the idea go back to bed.

The best customers search for the problem
On Marketing Over Coffee yesterday, one of our callers, Steve Dale, was lamenting that despite his best efforts at getting nearly every aspect of inbound marketing operating, he was still seeing no results from his digital marketing efforts for his window covering business. I took a quick look at his website today just to see what had been done and spotted the core problem around his inbound marketing.

Steve’s focus was clearly and logically around the solution his company provided – shutters, blinds, and other ways to cover your windows, and he had done an admirable job as a small business owner in optimizing his digital marketing efforts around that, for which I congratulate him. The only problem is, Steve optimized for the wrong focus. (sorry, Steve)

Think about your own search patterns (or look in your web search history). What do you type in more often than not? When you’re searching for answers to a problem, you search using words that describe the problem, not the answer. After all, logically, if you knew the answer, you wouldn’t have to search for it.

Think about how our minds work to solve a problem:

Stage 1: I don’t know there’s a problem.
Stage 2: I know there’s a problem but I don’t know what the solution is.
Stage 3: I know there’s a problem and I know what the solution is.
Stage 4: I know there’s a problem and I’m ready to implement the solution.
Stage 5: I have solved the problem (or not).

If you optimize your marketing for Stage 1, you’re attempting demand generation – trying to create awareness of a problem and then being the purveyor of the solution. This can be an intensely painful uphill battle since there’s no pain point to address – you have to create the pain.

If you optimize your marketing for Stage 2, you’re at the sweet spot: the customer has pain, but has no way out of the pain. You provide the doorway out of pain and if the pain is bad enough, they can’t leap through the door fast enough – or pay enough to do so.

If you optimize your marketing for Stage 3, you’re now competing on all the factors that diminish your profits or make you lose to competitors. The customer is shopping around or has shopped around, and you now have to beat your competitors on price, value, convenience, etc.

If you optimize your marketing for Stages 4 and 5, you’re fighting the customer. You’re fighting a decision that has been made and you now have to convince the customer that their decision was the wrong one, which is an even tougher battle. It can be done, but ultimately you have to create dissatisfaction with the chosen decision. The only time I’ve found I win business this way is when a competitor has royally screwed up and created the dissatisfaction for me.

Steve optimized his marketing around stage 3. He offers solutions at unbeatable prices and encourages people to buy local. The catch is that in his industry, home improvement, most people stop searching once they know the solution to their problems and go to the nearest big box home improvement store instead, so Steve isn’t even in the running for search once people get to stage 3.

His challenge will be to identify what people have pain about in stage 2 that he provides solutions for. After all, window coverings exist for a variety of reasons – you could want to prevent sun damage to your belongings, you could want privacy from outside eyes viewing into your home, or you could want something to accentuate your decor. Steve’s challenge is to ask prospective and current customers why they have pain and then re-optimize his marketing around the questions people are typing into search engines that showcase their pain.

Here’s another example – when I first started lending a hand with the Boston Martial Arts Center website, it was optimized and focused around the name of our tradition, Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu. Even the domain name was solution-focused, boston-ninpo.com. Unfortunately, the only people who even knew what that was in order to search for it were already students at the school.

We took a step back and looked at why someone might be interested in the martial arts. Self defense, fitness, awareness, stress reduction, etc. all came to the top of the list, and so we went on a campaign to rewrite the site’s content to focus around the problems people would be searching for, rather than the solution we offered. The results were immediate and powerful: new students started showing up at the door to try out classes.

Look carefully at your marketing. Are you focused on the solution, or are you focused on the customer’s problem?

5 Facebook Timeline Tips for Companies
Facebook Timeline is becoming mandatory on March 30, 2012 for everyone, companies included. There are lots of changes, but here are 5 that should be on your short list of things to do.

1. Remember all that money you spent on Like Gating, where you have to press the Like button to see the rest of the page and/or special offers? Sorry. Facebook has removed the ability to force non-fans to see any particular tab and now defaults to the timeline. Custom tabs will work, but they will not be front and center.

Recommendation: make sure your apps have clear, obvious, bold icons so that they do show up properly on the Timeline page. You can see my Free Weekly Tips button above.

2. The cover image is your new premium image space. Don’t just put a stupid logo there. Give people something to talk about! Note that Timeline Covers are clickable images that bring up the Photo lightbox. Make sure yours has a description, like this:

UPDATED: Some folks have posted in the comments that specific calls to action are prohibited.
```
Covers may not include:
i.    price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it on socialmusic.com";
ii.    contact information such as a website address, email, mailing address, or information that should go in your Page's "About" section;
iii.    references to Facebook features or actions, such as "Like" or "Share" or an arrow pointing from the cover photo to any of these features; or
iv.    calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends."
```
3. Timeline highlights all the stupid stuff you did in the past. Take some time to clean it up. Did you have a massive social media controversy a few years back? Quietly prune it away.

4. Use Insights’ virality metric to figure out what’s working, under the new Page Insights:

Recommendation: look for commonalities in the top 5-10 items and see what really gets people sharing. Remember that Facebook’s new mission focuses on Sharing above all else.

5. You have up 4 calls to action in the buttons. Likes is immoveable, so you’re really down to 3 – but the more buttons you have, the less your clickable summary text is visible. I chose 3 buttons above so that my about text was more visible. If it’s not compelling or highly active, consider pruning it and giving yourself more space.

I hope these Facebook Timeline tips for your business are useful!
