    Chiranjeevi asks for top 10 tips for today’s you ask I answer you don’t need 10 really only need one and that is make content that the audience actually wants. Remember the three E’s rule entertain engage or educate

    those are the golden rules for all forms of content marketing of especially for

    people are on Instagram to see interesting stuff. Nobody wants to see your product over and over and over again unless it is illustrating what they can do what their life will be like

    an aspirational channel. Look how beautiful your food could look Look how wonderful your vacations could look Look how much more relieving you your time and the office could book because the purely visual channel is a visual storytelling channel and it is an entertainment channel your content on Instagram has to do one of those things. So

    if you’re just showing stuff on Instagram. That’s your product over and over again. That’s not entertaining. It’s not educational it’s not engaging nothing what you post on there’s going to matter the camera doesn’t matter the lighting doesn’t matter the video quality doesn’t matter

    entertaining entertain engage or educate

    I was working, not too long ago with a kitchen appliance company they make stuff for the kitchen and they’re like, Well, why doesn’t Why doesn’t anyone like our stuff. Well, there’s stuff was boring. There’s just their product over and over again. I mean, there was no sense of what you could do with it. That was unique makes food like everything else makes food that’s not helpful.

    There was no special angle. There was no aspirational aspect, like, look how much better your food could be if only you use this gadget.

    And so that entertain engage or educate strategy is what you need to do. Now let’s take a few examples. Let’s say you have a smartphone right as smartphones is pretty easy to to show how it will make your life better. But you also need to have that aspect of uniqueness how your product is not going to be completely unique and still be valuable probably it will probably have competitors. It will probably have something

    some kind of aspect that other people can replicate. What’s your unique spin on it. How do you showcase that visual storytelling. Suppose you have a webcam. Well, everyone’s got a webcam. These things are pretty count. Right. They all look like little eyeballs that go on top of your computer. What’s different about this one. What could you show that would be different about yours, maybe show how yours is resistant to hacking by the government or Russian hackers, something along those lines, something that’s a unique and different storytelling approach with

    the product of the subject of your photos is

    not the protagonist of the story, the story. The protagonist of the story is the viewer who was thumbing through a feed and if they see something that helps them understand this is how I become the the movie star poster hero version of myself. They will stop, they will take a look. May May tap on the ad to to learn more. So think of it from that perspective as well, something I learned from my editor.

    The protagonist is not who we write in the book a protagonist is the reader.

    Finally, you can’t using Instagram story to tell somebody what the benefit of your product is or the reason why it’s important or unique or any of this, and you have to show it.

    I was talking to one person at Social Media Marketing World who helps a market cutlery and they’re like well you know our steel is better than all the phones are still because it’s this particular type of sweet is stealing like i don’t care i care about if I throw this knife against a tree will the blade break or will the tree break

    and I’ve got to be able to see that as silly as those ads were remember the old turbo Ginsu knife ads when they’re like salto a lead pipe and then a tomato right the steel was terrible. The knives were not particularly good knives,

    but the gimmick was really obvious like wow this is a couple of metal pipe, nevermind. That was lead, which is both toxic and soft and then color tomato, I can cut the issue right nobody’s going to cut through a shoe sensibly with a knife, but it illustrates the point and you can you could do that in a story or photo or add very easily here kind of shoe and half cut up a bamboo Poland half cut the second half and it would be a way of illustrating the benefit of the story of the product not telling somebody that this is the sharpest knife in the world now show. Hey, I just cut through, you know, a fence post. That’s how you use Instagram to educate entertain to engage. If you don’t do one of those things visually

    nothing else you do on Instagram matters. So that would be my one and only tip and if companies could get better at that they will be so much better off than focusing on anything else. Don’t worry about lighting. Don’t worry about beautiful photography, be able to tell a good story with your camera. First, as always, please subscribe to the newsletter and the YouTube channel.

    “How can marketing and marketers help salespeople be more effective? What can marketing do to help sales (the department)?”

    Marketers and sales professionals should be – need to be – aligned in common objectives. To do this, marketers provide help in three ways:

    • Analytics: visibility into what’s working
    • Data Integration: helpful intelligence on every sales prospect
    • Enablement: create content that helps sales reach out frequently and provide real value

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may be filled with errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s you ask I answer Sandy asks, How can marketers help salespeople do more be more be more effective.

    So three things. First analytics marketers can provide analytics to salespeople provide data to sales people that help them understand what the prospects are really interested in what’s working to drive leads, so it particularly in a b2b organization or any organization with a complex sale because remember, there is no such thing as b2b or b2c. There’s only simple or complex sales simple sales transactional sales right so you have a pack of gum. That’s a very simple transactional sale you there’s there’s not a lot of prospect nourishment in the world, compared to buying a house or a college education or a jet plane or car or SAS software so.

    First complex sales industries sales professionals want to know what’s working, where are our leads coming from the old Glengarry Glen Ross the leads a week living would say

    so what’s driving leads what’s driving audience attention what’s driving conversion from a lead to an opportunity and from an opportunity to sail the attribution analysis that you do has to help a salesperson understand. Oh, I totally get now that webinars are actually an important part of what we do, or I totally get that video is an important part of getting

    a lead to become an opportunity, they’ve seen our videos they go, Oh, I really want to buy a house from these folks. I’m going to go ahead and and I trust them their, their information their videos has been good. So analytics is the first part second part is integration data integration

    sales people.

    Want to understand what a prospect is actually interested in and the path that they got to becoming a lead or an opportunity and this is where a lot of systems, particularly the integration of web analytics marketing and marketing automation and CRM software often falls down when the system is are not connected properly or well

    you don’t get the information from point A to point B. And so when a salesperson sees a new lead coming, they’re reading on their phone or whatever. Go. Well, what does this person, not even one or or how do I know what’s on this person’s mind

    ideally if you read in your CRM software hot this person visited the about page. The team page and they spent the most time on product X’s page when I go to reach out to the person and say hey to getting in touch you filled out a form looks like you’re interested in product x, is there any questions I can answer for you on product x and that will help the sales professional be much more.

    in tune and enable to build rapport and build relationships faster. One of the key things that sales professionals have to do at least good ones is build that rapport with a prospect as quickly as possible to build that trust as quickly as possible and the more information that marketing can provide to a salesperson about how a prospect behave, the faster they can build that rapport. So that’s number two data integration. Third is sales enablement so you know when you’ve got a a salesperson who’s kind of starving for content when they send out emails that just say, hey, just touching base, seeing how things are going right there’s no real value there and we’re all smart working professionals, we know what the sales professionals trying to do. They’re trying to remind us that they exist and that we should consider buying from them but a quick hey how you doing

    is pretty transparent it’s it’s pretty obvious what’s going on there.

    The more that we provide sales with content with stuff that’s an actual value, the easier it is for them to reach out, they can in their email, they can say, Hey, I was thinking of you and I have our company just published this great piece on how to

    how to improve your gas mileage in your car by two miles per gallon every day of the week, which by the way is inflate the tires to the maximum is safe limit of the tires, not the recommended limit the recommended limits to make the car feel like a smoother ride but not fuel efficient

    and so by creating content for sales purposes marketers can help salespeople have those conversations and much more easily and and and give value with every interaction. If I’m reading an email and there’s something to legitimately have value and used to me as the customer potential customer. All right. You know, I’m going to read this person’s emails I know they’re selling I know they want me to call them back. But that was actually useful. That was actually helpful.

    This piece of content. So if we provide salespeople stuff that gives them a reason to reach out that gives them a reason to to make the call, or to send the email or to hang them on social we will help them significantly. Now here’s the catch

    the content has to be exclusively for the value of the prospects. It cannot be sales material in the sense of like, Hey, here’s another product data sheet nobody wants that nobody enjoys that not nobody I’m sure there’s someone somewhere rule 34 at all. But for the most part, nobody wants that. So what we need to create as marketers is content is exclusively for the value of the audience

    Marcus Sheridan wrote a great book called they ask you answer which is where you ask I answer came from because it is all about providing value to the audience of we can provide value to the audience through answers to questions and things that will be of help the definition of thought leadership that I used to a lot of people talk about let’s make some thought leadership.

    content is our thinking as marketers stuff we create helps you the customer lead thought leadership I thinking helps you lead. So if we can create stuff that is a value that helps you make better decisions

    you will implicitly understand we have an expertise in that area, but also we will give our sales folks a reason to reach out and say, hey, we’ve got this new thing thought it might be useful to you. Please check it out. So those are the three areas that marketing can do can use to help sales analytics first providing good insights as to as to what’s working data integration to add it so giving sales professionals at the individual level the opportunity to understand why this person is in their, their CRM and then sales enablement as the third party creating content for sales purposes that is exclusively for the value of the audience that so that they almost depending on how good your content is they may actually want sales people.

    Reach out to them because the content is so good, that’s the that’s the gold standard, the high water mark that you’re going for. As always, please send your questions to the US guy answer link in the show notes. If you have questions that you want me to answer.

    Al asked,

    “I’ve got the Jay-Z problem – I’ve got 99 marketing problems. Where do I start?”

    Great question – this is a four-part answer:

    • Categorization: put all the problems into one of four buckets
      • People
      • Process
      • Platform
      • Participation
    • Prioritization: Use the enhanced Eisenhower Matrix to assign priorities
      • Urgent
      • Important
      • Easy
    • Analysis: Assign metrics and data to problems where possible
    • No data? Fix from the bottom up or align to known best practices

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s you ask I answer. I’ll asks the Jay Z problem I got 99 problems where do I start so prioritizing what to fix in marketing when it seems like everything is broken. As I know you got the literal 99 problems weird you start. So there’s a couple of places to start that I really important. The first thing is auditing your marketing and knowing where and what those problems are and these are the three piece. Actually, the for technical I think the most important which is people do you have people problems human bodies human part of the people who do the work. Is that a problem. Second process. Do you have broken processes internally, the ways you do things do have processes you have governance. Do you have everything documented about how you do what you do because if you don’t have processes.

    documented. You can’t refine that you can’t improve them. It’s like a recipe if you if you bake the cake brand new every single time you can’t go back and tune up the recipe, you just kind of making it up and big key 100 times you get 100 different cakes, which is not ideal. The third is platform. So this is technology and infrastructure, the stuff that makes marketing gold, especially in the modern world today so CRM marketing automation website all the bits and pieces laying around. And the fourth which is not in the original framework people process and technology from the 70s and Gartner later renamed it to people process platform and 2011, but the fourth that is really important. It’s participation. Do you have buy in from the participants, whether that means people who are the workers people who had the managers people who are the executives and the executive sponsors and by and do you have that if

    when you go through you audit these things you categorize all of your problems.

    What are the problems that you have people have a process problems. What are the platform problems. What are the participation in buying problems that you have. So that’s the first way you develop the catalog, then you go to the next step which categorization in terms of the problems I had like the Eisenhower matrix which is what’s urgent what’s important and the Eisenhower matrix. Typically, the two by two matrix that has that there’s a third dimension which I think is important for when you’ve got a lot of problems and that is what’s easy. What are the what are the things that you can do that are relatively painless to to get done. So if you have 99 problems but seven of the problems you can fix in five minutes or less. Make note of that and catalog that and and both should be on list of things you should be able to knock down because when there’s a whole bunch wrong. A lot of quick wins in the beginning can increase participation for the harder stuff but also they may be hidden dependencies.

    The scenes that if you can knock out those those simple problems really quickly. You may see a sea change with the harder problems. So those the first two things you categorize then you prioritize based on the Eisenhower matrix urgent important easy

    in the past when I’ve done that I’ve actually put together a spreadsheet made the all the problems in the list

    tagged them you know people process platform and then urgent important easiest three columns and each one one to 10 is as important as the 10 is as important is that a 10 or one is it easy and so on so forth and you can literally just sum up urgent important easy calculator, figure out

    the problems.

    The third is start assigning data to the problems and this is again going sort of up the analytics ladder going up the marketing operations fumble

    from the business impact from that dollar amount at the bottom line closed one.

    Deal, whatever that is. It could be selling a pack of gum to your customer when they’re at the big box retail story. It could be selling them a gulf stream airplane or a multimillion dollar AARP system. It doesn’t matter what it is, but you have the marketing operations fellow sales opportunities leads prospects visitors audience, more or less, your business. We have slightly different stages and that’s fine score the data up the ladder and that will help you clarify in more detail,

    where all the problems are broken. Unless Unless you’re all of your data is broken and you’re all of your measurement is broken. If that’s the case, if, if you are in the worst case in our everything’s broken. You got 99 problems and none of the day. Do you have is reliable. Then there’s two ways to start making those repairs. The first is to fix in the bottom of the funnel. First, you know, so you’ve categorized all the problems you’ve done urgent important easy and then the cluster of problems that sits at the bottom.

    Follow start working on those first because you’re going to see the soon as business impact from fixing those

    or if you have organizational problems with people and process where you can’t even make changes the bottom. The fumble the organizations. So silos that sales won’t even let you see was in the CRM, then you fix according to best practices. According to things that you are held accountable for. So

    if, for example, if someone says well marketing is just responsible for for leads you all you do is crank out leads you don’t don’t worry about anything else. Okay, cool. That’s the bottom of the marketing funnel then and start fixing from the bottom up in terms of operationally fixing according to those the known best practices, best practices don’t mean if the best way to do it. They essentially Minimum Viable competence, if you will. So fixing that way so that’s that’s how you tackle your 99 problems the JC marketing problem.

    audit prioritize analyze and then if all else fails, start from the bottom up and and start repairing in that way.

    The hardest part is going to be the prioritization because everything is going to seem urgent everything’s going to seem important and nothing’s gonna seem easy and so I would encourage you if even if when you do the scoring

    for some people it’s really difficult for them to to score so you could even make a categorical say easy hard just pick one. Is it easier as hard

    and that can help with with that categorization that that prioritization.

    The other thing is understanding importance when you do the categorization the prioritization

    if everything seems important to everyone because everyone isn’t sure what to do.

    Go back to the analytics slack or go back to the the.

    Marketing operations funneled from the from the bottom up and figure out okay if if we can’t agree on what’s important. Let’s agree on how close to the bottom of funnel. It is so if someone’s like, No, no, no. Social media is the most important thing we need more awareness

    that’s important to that person. We don’t discredit that because that may be there only only function or the only function that they can show actual results for but we can say that’s not near the bottom of funnel right awareness is the top of the funnel

    and

    keep doing what you’re doing. But we need your help, we need everyone’s help down here to fix the, you know, getting leads to want to talk to a salesperson or getting leads to read the sales enablement collateral. So that’s the other way to fix the important stuff and the is everything will seem original all the time. So there’s there’s no fixing that

    but that’s how you assign them importance. So a great question. It is a difficult question.

    The answers are more difficult because everyone’s going to feel like their stuff is most important. So this is how you start going through and scoring it as always thank you for watching please subscribe to the YouTube channel, please subscribe to the newsletter and a reminder that my company Trust Insights will come in and help you do this if you need an objective third party to talk to you about this kind of help you categorize and things will come and help you do that. And then you know once everything’s working we can do all the cool data stuff too. Thanks for watching. I’ll talk to you soon.

    Machine Transcription

    The following transcript was generated by an AI. It may contain significant errors and is not a substitute for watching the video itself.

    Cathie asked what’s the process of putting together LinkedIn posts with video on a day to day basis. How do you do this any scale will do daily way. So this is a long and involved process everything I’m going to talk about is in the blog post the list of all the equipment so hardware, software and process and make sure that you see the blog post over at Christopher S Pen calm. So hardware of a silly little selfie stick mount here head worn Mike, which is Amazon purchase for desktop stuff have a headset or headphones and this V mode a boom mic that just plugs right into the bottom of the iPhone, of course. During the recording and for audio editing. I will typically do use the bows qc 35. So that’s kind of the main hardware. Of course I’ll laptop computer I use a Mac,

    in terms of software. My primary video editor is a package called Camp Asia from Tech Smith have a link and.

    The notes to that also have Apple photos from managing stills I’m moving on the iPhone for wanting to shoot some basic video for more advanced video like all the stuff that I’m doing here is an app called movie pro and the reason for that is that this wireless headphone plugs into the bottom of the iPhone and the iPhone can be real twitchy about what microphone you’re using. So you have to tell it in advance, like I’m using this microphone and movie one of the few apps that lets you do that and say I want to use this microphone so it’s not like picking up you know all the other noise around here.

    I use mind note on the Mac, which is what I use for scripting canvas. The online service for doing the the beginning and end cards you see ampere music, which is a free AI tool that allows you to generate you know Stock Music pretty straightforward stuff, not the best music. The world doesn’t have to be. I use otter for transcription, which we’ll talk about in a bit the FF MPEG audio converter for converting video into audio files are super important for.

    podcast part and then Amazon AWS s3 account to store audio files because YouTube’s is where you store the video files. So what’s the process for putting together one of these first we have to decide what type of videos are going to be talking head only or screen casts if it’s talking head only set up the iPhone in you know the microphones, get ready to shoot. If it’s screen casts set up camp on the laptop put these headphones on and that’s the audio setup for that I use Google to set up a little countdown timer. I say I want nine minutes on the clock never go over 10 minutes because you can’t upload it into LinkedIn LinkedIn restricts us 10 minutes or less. So you want to have nine minutes on the timer.

    I’ll shoot they’ll talk about stuff on the iPhone and then obviously connected to the laptop and download the video screen cast on the Mac with can’t Asia and make the still frame cards in Canvas and typically for something Becker, you ask I answer. There’s a stock one so I’ll render the stock one and advanced in that way I can just pop it right in.

    export the raw video fired. Well, it’s a symbol incantation putting all my transitions all the you know the fades and the audio level the audio in there and it has a lot of these utilities built in, which is super handy. It’s worth it’s worth the cost.

    Once I’m happy with it and I export it as a raw video file that has a lot of options there for like different services you can upload to pain in the export to a raw mp4 audio yeah mp4 video file that goes to your desktop, then you use the FM peg utility to rip the audio out and make copy in mp3 format because you’re going to need that the mp3 file goes to otter for transcription, it takes you know for for every minute of recorded audio is going to take about two minutes for it to transcribe so if you do it a 10 minute show uploaded and expect it will be done in about 20 minutes while you’re uploading to otter your next step is to upload to YouTube and LinkedIn. Now, depending on how fast your internet connection is.

    At home, you may want to do one and and and then the other or you may want to do both at the same time if you have a fast connection you can do both at the same time while they’re uploading because it’s going to take a while the camp agents files for a 10 minute show or nine minutes show can be around half a gigabyte of data,

    I will write the descriptions. So you’re going to need descriptions, which is essentially a short paragraph and then any links to appropriate resources and those go in you copy and paste those that’s the post content and LinkedIn and that’s the description in YouTube. After that, or while that’s going on because YouTube in particular takes a while to process video I will write the blog posts. So in my node. What I’ll do is I’ll export the show notes as the sort of the still as the framework for the blog post and then I’ll if otter is done. I will take the transcription out of otter and I will

    put that in the blog post.

    embed the YouTube video embed in link from AWS to the mp3 file because what that does. I use WordPress is my blog if you have an mp3 file LinkedIn a WordPress post your WordPress blog feed automatically becomes a podcast because WordPress. It just converts it to enclosures and does all the formatting. So

    you can then actually submit your blog as a podcast to WordPress to like apple and Stitcher music and stuff and you’ve got your podcast now. And then finally, of course, once you’ve got everything assembled all the pieces are in the right place you publicize the blog post shared on social reach out to any of the influences that you want to reach out to include it in your email newsletter, all that stuff. So it’s a it sounds like an extensive process and it is a reasonably detailed process, but it’s also one that once you get in the habit of doing it every single day, it becomes like clockwork. Again, all the stuff including the.

    Mind Map and things the timer the hardware, the software that bits and pieces are all going to be in the blog posts, so don’t worry about trying to write all that down just print it out and then you can follow literally step by step. But the other thing real simple is a your set. It’s not a bookshelf here and some curtains from IKEA I’m actually in my basement, so you don’t have to spend a ton of money in terms of investment. Probably the most expensive thing besides the smartphone

    is going to be the cam software. I believe that’s like 199, the head warned microphone is 49

    the Wiimote a boom mic is30 out of the Bose headphones can be expensive. You don’t need to use Bose headphones so I just do because I work in a relatively noisy basement. I want to want to make sure I can hear easily Canvas free Emperor’s free otters free FM peg is free Amazon AWS is pay, but a pay as you go and you know unless your podcast becomes wildly popular it’s not gonna cost you very much in the beginning. If it comes wildly popular they.

    You can start getting sponsors and they can help pay for that as well

    as anything else that costs money WordPress your blog, all that stuff. The, the things you’re probably already doing. But that’s the process from beginning to end. Kathy hope you find this helpful if you’re watching anyone who’s watching if you’ve got suggestions about how to do this better, please feel free to contribute those suggestions I am always looking for ways to improve always looking for ways to to make things faster and cheaper and better because in the digital era, you can have fast cheap and good all the same time, but thanks for watching and I’ll talk to you all soon. Take care.

  • You Ask, I Answer: How To Prove Marketing Bottom Line Impact

    You Ask, I Answer_ Proving Marketing's Bottom Line Impact (1)

    Sandie asks,

    “How can I prove that marketing is impacting our bottom line?”

    This is probably the most important question for the average marketer to answer. It’s literally the difference between keeping our jobs and being asked to either improve or leave. Today, we’ll review the process of valuing our business goals, then spreading that value across different marketing metrics. We’ll also look at applying those goals to Google Analytics™.

    The following transcript was generated by an AI. It may contain significant errors and is not a substitute for watching the video itself.

    Today’s you asked my answer. Sandy asks, How can I prove that marketing is impacting our bottom line. I’m going to do a little screen cast you because this is going to require a little bit of math, all you need to spreadsheet nothing super fancy to prove that marketing is impacting the bottom line, you have to have visibility into the marketing mark at the bottom line. So let’s take a look at a sample set up. Now this is a sample marketing and sales funnel, you’ll want to substitute all this stuff for everything that you know you you have in your company. So if you are a b2c company if you’re a restaurant. If you are a tax firm, whatever the case may be. You want to set this up to be the different stages that you measure if you don’t measure these stages. That’s a prerequisite. So let’s look at an example. Let’s say we sell software software services subscription. Whatever, let’s say we closed 100 deals. We want 100 new customers and the value of a customer on an.

    You will basis. Let’s say if it’s a 20, a month service times 12 months that’s240

    per that’s the tuna 40 per deal okay now the total value then would be 100 customers times240 the annual fee. That’s 24,000.

    So far so good, let’s uh let’s do a little format here make sure this is in currency so that it’s easy to read.

    Okay. Now, in order for us to get 200 close deals our website or our software or our sales force or whatever has to have opportunity to call them at bats, whatever you want to call them. Let’s say we had 1000 at bats. Thus, the closing rate the closing rate between

    one deals at at bats is going to be 100 divided by 1000 equals 100 to 1000. So that’s our, our ability to close.

    How well can we close a deal. Let’s go ahead and make this a percentage.

    So that, again, we’re on the same page

    and now

    I actually let’s move that up one cell because I wanted to

    put this year. So now, if the value per deal is

    240 have closed deals to in 40, we’re going to multiply this

    times this so every opportunity is worth24

    right because 900 out of 1000 don’t close. They don’t turn into business we have

    we have that there. And then, of course, we’re going to multiply this times this

    so we have 1000 opportunity action side, it should be this times this

    the value should still be 24,000

    right because logically

    you have 1000 pictures, a 24 per.

    So let’s go ahead and just delete that math check ourselves now for

    all those opportunities media marketing qualified leads to fuel them. That means people who have filled out a contact form raising hand requested a demo.

    They have walked in our restaurant. They have done all these whatever it is that that gets somebody eventually to to do something. Let’s put it in 10,000 people have raised their hand of the last year. Yeah, we’re going to copy this math formula here, this is 10% from here to here because 9000 people chose not to do business with us. And then we’re going to copy this here

    and now we see every marketing qualified lead is worth202

    and 40 cents. Let’s go ahead and make sure this is a currency as well. Okay, now prospects I people who sign up for our mailing list to sign up for email, subscribe to our blog. We have contact information on them but they have not raised a hand. They have not said yes, I want to potentially buy something from it. So let’s make that 100,000.

    And again, copy and paste.

    So 24 sets. So if we were using say Google Analytics.

    I’m going to go to switch over to my Google Analytics account. If someone fills out a

    just subscribe to my newsletter subscription. For example,

    I would say, you know, they are worth 24 cents, because that’s that’s what their value is worth. Now we can take this up another level. What if we took said okay, we now have

    that many website visitors right

    can copy and paste. So every website visitors worth about two cents. Again, if we were to do the math and multiply across we would still get that same 24,000

    in value, we know that would be you know that to be the case, but each stage gets progressively smaller and smaller and value. So if, for example, we worked at the company where we did not have direct line of sight into sales. For example, if.

    You are say Energizer if you are you as a company, never sell direct to the consumer you sell through distributors resellers and retail outlets. Right. You cannot buy something from energize you have to go to Walmart or Target or wherever to buy Energizer batteries so you may not necessarily have some of these phases, but you do have the ability to compute visitors to your website and you could do a similar calculation like this to figure out what’s the value of that visitor. Now if you want to go up in even one more level to say let’s let’s do a lot of social media right let’s do social media and we have an audience of a million people or 10 million people in social media right and we only get 10% as people to the website, the value of those people is very, very small,

    it would be you know point 000 to four again if you’re if I was still to multiply squats would still be24,000.

    So

    this means that I can compute and count.

    You’re late.

    The value of any stage based on the final stage and the and the conversions that happened between them. That’s supposed. For example, this would number was 2000 right.

    This would mean that this stage here prospects was the most broken stagers I had a lot of prospects, but it couldn’t get them to raise their hands as a marketer, obviously I can now figure out while this is going to be a tough challenge to fix.

    But it also means that the value here has changed so now this you know leads are worth more opportunities with more but then prospects are worth a little bit less so we can you would use that in Google Analytics update that data. This is also tells me it is this phase of the process that I need to focus my marketing or my sales efforts are my business emphasis on to restore this back to normalcy. Right. So if that was the case and then this was the case and then

    now look at how quickly the values change these were 10%.

    words but this is 2%. Whoo, and visitors really worth very, very little half a penny and we can see of course with fewer deals. We have less revenue. So I would encourage you to build this spreadsheet for yourself. This is how you determine the impact of marketing on the bottom line because you do this calculation. Maybe you update your Google Analytics goals once a quarter or once a month but by doing it this way, you could say I can now forecast based on everything that’s happening and sales all the way down to revenue what the impact of marketing is it I know if I if my prospects are worth five cents each. And I drove 10,000

    fewer prospects this month I know I contributed 50 or 500 less to the company’s bottom line and obviously that’s a bad thing. Right.

    Likewise, if you try something new and you get a flood of new prospects, but they don’t convert very well like here then, you know, man.

    Even that we drove a lot of prospects. They were less valuable say we couldn’t convert them. And so the impact the bottom line was still not great. So that’s how you do this. That’s how you build these very simple spreadsheet again nothing complex no super crazy math here but then putting it into Google Analytics gives you the ability to then see the impact across the board. So I’m just going to pop in real quick here and to acquisition. We’re going to go to all traffic. I’m going to go to source medium. Now I have ecommerce setup so Google automatically tracks the value of

    of sales in addition to everything else. It’s good to January one by having e commerce plus lead generation value said, and I can now see per channel hey this channel is helping me drive700

    revenue this child’s driving $69. We have no let’s go ahead and sort by here and then get to further on channels for the down Hey Twitter combine these two are both Twitter is driving more.

    Revenue actually then my email. Wow. Okay, I know I need to up my game with Twitter, Facebook,

    right, not so much there because LinkedIn. If you add up LinkedIn his his double almost Facebook, the value Facebook. So

    by having these goal value set based on is very simple spreadsheet and whatever however far down you can measure the further down you can measure inside Google Analytics, the better. So if you can measure marketing qualified leads through form fills or you can measure sales through enhanced e commerce, you’re going to get better and better, more precise numbers. That’s how you prove the value of marketing how you prove that marketing is impacting the bottom line. Great question.

    So why don’t we been thinking about this is day three of IBM think the first full day of the event technically in terms of the general public Sunday was champion day Monday was sort of think Academy and today is when people are going to be doing sessions and stuff and and as the chairman’s keynote this morning in terms of what really caught my eye yesterday that I think was a value. I got a chance to see the Watson discovery session which was fantastic. Watson discovery allows you to to process. Lots of unstructured text. But if you are a marketing or PR professional who would like access to a good analytical news engine Watson discovery gives you the last two months of news categorize tagged and sorted for free you get up to 1000 queries, a month to be able to ask the database questions about the news and it’s refreshed. As far as I can tell, on, on a near real time basis of the 17 million articles and they right now from the last two months. It’s a rolling two month window so it’s if you haven’t already signed up for Watson discovery. You should go do that because that’s valuable

    and again free at the light here as far as I can tell them they don’t seem to have any plans to change that to

    more expensive plan, you can upgrade to lots of different plans obviously

    got a chance to sit in

    a quantum computing lab, which was just head shredding I mean

    the things that you can do with quantum computing the rock computing power of quantum is

    it is quite literally a quantum leap.

    One of the examples in a factoring problem

    that the the doctor who was showing it said was, you take this problem of factoring and you scale it the problem linearly the processing time scales exponentially. So a problem that could take a massive supercomputer two seconds to solve for 128 bit factor when you get to attend 24 bit problem will take more time than the universe is old does it will take several like six or 7 billion years for that same computer to solve that problem with quantum computing because of the nature of the way it works. It will solve that problem and about 10 and a half hours so 6 billion years 10 and a half hours. Is it is such a radical change. But the thing that stuck out the most for me and something that we’re all going to want to keep an eye on. Is

    he ended the session by saying we are not able to think about quantum computing and what it can do yet. And he’s like, it’s so early. It’s, it’s so new and it’s so

    capable so powerful that

    it really is is is beyond anything so it’d be like the people in the 1950s when they were building the first regular classical computers had no idea that you know 50 years later, or 70, years later, there’ll be the things like smartphones

    was so far away from that room full of technology. So that was really

    worthwhile and entertaining.

    I had an opportunity to do a podcast yesterday on sort of analytics and where things are going. And one of the things that really came up that bill Jensen said during that things that once we remove all the tasks, because at some point AI is gonna be able to do most of the tasks. What’s left is the unique human experience. And so,

    focusing on on soft skills on the ability to work with each other to

    to have empathy to have judgment, all these things that are uniquely human right

    now and will be for some time, or where we need to spend and invest a lot of time if we wanted to

    run

    successful organizations that integrate humans and technology together.

    And then the last really powerful takeaway was that one of the of the fellow influencers was also an IBM champion

    said yesterday that people just don’t use social data at conferences. Very well,

    you said just kind of do stuff and throw things out there

    instead of cherry picking

    the 10 people, they want to have a meeting with and he said you’ve got the data may as well use it and use it in a more targeted fashion so so good advice there that will be taking into advisement and stuff at the Maya remaining days here at the event today and tomorrow but

    really just so fascinating to see what’s happening today we’re doing a Facebook Live at 7am Pacific.

    Then we have the chairman’s address Ginny remedy telling us all things new that IBM stuff

    I have some executive meetings this morning and then some

    other activities for influencers

    and then looking at looking forward to hearing from Dr Michio Kaku, who was a futurist later this afternoon. So lots to learn so much to learn so many new frontiers that it’s really exciting. It’s a it goes to show you that in while you’re in the regular world and your regular work that you don’t see stuff like this, the advancements on the frontier of computing and technology and what’s possible. And it’s it’s so exciting. It’s so refreshing. It’s like

    though there’s so many new possibilities that are coming in the world and so many new ways that will be able to do things so much more capabilities. So as long as we can

    get our or our own human foibles the future looks incredibly poor right, it will require a lot of thought and a lot of care to make sure that we don’t abuse these new technologies, but at least we will have them and at least there is

    there’s more. And there are changes ahead. That will be

    literal quantum leaps from what we can do as a

    as a human race. Now, so thanks for watching as always please subscribe to the YouTube channel and the email newsletter and we’ll have some more updates from IBM think soon.

  • THINKing Out Loud: Analytics and Technologies

    THINKing Out Loud_ Analytics and Technologies

    Riffing on an idea I heard yesterday at IBM THINK, what does it look like when we map technologies to various stages of the analytics hierarchy? From Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to deep learning, how do the different technologies line up?

    Machine Transcription

    Transcribed by AI. May contain significant errors.

    So I have some thoughts this morning. It’s

    very early morning here at IBM, think about

    session I saw yesterday on Watson Explorer, which is IBM

    software for doing content analysis and it got me thinking they said something interesting in the session. They said that the content exploration capabilities

    essentially do the qualitative Why Did something happen to quantitative analytics what happened and that got me thinking about the hierarchy of analytics. If you remember from

    a good Julian and a half different blog posts,

    the hierarchy of analytics is a five part structure

    there is descriptive analytics. What happened, and this is

    Google Analytics, for example, or your email open rates and things what happens what

    what was the, the number of things that happened diagnostic adult x, which is why did those things happen. And there are tools

    that are starting to explain the why a little bit in context, but I’d like to the twist that IBM put on it which is that the qualitative data, the reasons that somebody left a

    their shopping cart everything from surveys to in this case unstructured data analysis with with their tool Watson explore and it doesn’t necessarily have to be

    anything really super sophisticated. To start with, you could you could do it very very simple parts of speech tagging and say, of all the words that people left in their reviews online. How many of them have a generally negative connotation like this things

    and then there’s the third layer which is predictive which is what I’ve been spending a lot of my own time on lately, which is what will happen based on cyclicality and seasonality

    predictable human behaviors. The fourth layer is prescriptive which is what should we do about it. And this is where machine learning will start to put together perspectives on potential outcomes Prudential given here’s a ray of 16 or 17 different choices and the likelihood that one of those is a better choice than not. And then the last layer is proactive, which is how do we automate it and how do we get a machine to do everything soup to nuts for

    an

    analytical problems. Some kind and what this got me thinking about was not only the five layers, but also the technologies that go with each of them because

    in order to make the leap forward from wherever you are in the hierarchy of analytics, you need to have a technology base that goes with it. You also need processes and you need human beings who have the training to do so. It’s the the old saw people process and technology and descriptive analytics is pure quantitative, you can do a lot of the analysis in the built in tool. So Google Analytics is a fine tool for doing that. There’s

    IBM Watson Analytics, which is more of a general purpose tool. There’s specialty tools like Tablo but honestly, you can do. I would say like 95% of the analysis for your average business in an Excel spreadsheet and that’s okay. If you’re getting the answers that you need to get to run your business well Excel is totally fine. There’s nothing wrong with it. I know a lot of folks who are technology vendors like to on Excel and tell you how outdated is but you know what’s what’s never outdated is getting results

    for

    diagnostic analytics. This is qualitative so this can be things like surveys and focus groups and stuff. It can be as as IBM has mentioned unstructured text mining to understand the words and the phrases and things that people use

    and these are all tools. Again, these are not new tools by any means text mining has been around for

    decades. It’s just that the computational power to do it at scale and with additional insights from machine learning a relatively new. The third layer predictive is statistical technology. It is a lot of what our predictive algorithms are statistics. The the algorithm that I use my work at Trust Insights is

    the remote algorithms decades old, but again, like the text mining stuff. It has been

    a really long time for the computing power to catch up with with the ideas with the ivory tower theories which have largely proven right because

    they’ve had 50 years to develop them prescriptive technology requires machine learning

    and a lot of ways to really dig into and understand you know what to do next. It is built on the foundation of statistics

    on the probability of this or that of the 16th Joyce’s which is what are the probability is any one choice is going to succeed for you.

    And so you do need to have some machine learning technology for that and then proactive. How do we automate this thing soup to nuts is very much one of those things that will be a deep learning problem dissolve

    by mapping technologies to each layer of the hierarchy of analytics, we get a sense of

    where we are and what our technology basis to support any one of these layers. So if we want prescriptive analytics, but we have no machine learning capabilities

    in the absence machines. We have to have people we have to have well trained people who have solid knowledge solid processes, lots of experience and stuff but it is very possible to do that

    if we want to proactively do analytics and we don’t have deep learning capabilities. Then,

    today we wouldn’t use artificial intelligence, we’d use natural intelligence aka we would hire some people to do that for us and again at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what technology you use as long as you get the result that works as long as you get

    a positive ROI results. So if you hire an agency to do any of these steps

    as long as you’re still making more money than your spending. There’s no problem. I think one of the messages we have to be very careful of when we do all this stuff is not doing technology for technology’s sake. Well, I do that because it’s fun, it’s like it’s a hobby for me but in business and in your in your day to day running a business practically not doing technology for technology’s sake instead doing technology for the benefit of the business. And if we find that something is negative ROI on the automation side I’m on the AI side on the statistics side but could be positive ROI on the human side and make meaning you just

    hire somebody to do it for you

    that’s okay because we want to make the money we want to get the result we want to deliver impact. So take this idea this hierarchy of analytics and how it maps to each of these technologies and what they do and use it as a way to benchmark. Where are you in the process. What’s next for you and what are the options that are available because if it’s not artificial intelligence, it could be natural intelligence as long as you get the result. So some early morning thoughts with just barely one cup of coffee from IBM think Hope you have a great day. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to the

    newsletter and to the YouTube channel. I’ll talk to you soon. Take care.

  • Why I’m Leaving SHIFT Communications and What’s Next

    I’m leaving SHIFT Communications.

    What's Next: Life After SHIFT Communications
    Watch this video on YouTube.

    Background: Figuring out Public Relations

    In late 2012, I joined SHIFT Communications with a burning question. I had mastered the basics of digital marketing, of the middle of the funnel. I was a proficient email marketer, web marketer, and social media marketer. But I had a challenge. I didn’t understand the top of the funnel. I wasn’t strong in 2012 at digital advertising, and I had no exposure to the art and science of public relations. Frankly, I thought PR was BS.

    So I sought out Todd Defren and SHIFT Communications to broaden my horizons, to deepen my knowledge of this industry that companies pay millions of dollars for. Todd and I agreed that I would introduce digital marketing and analytics to PR, and I would learn the PR industry to complete my understanding of the top of the funnel.

    Over more than half a decade, we’ve done just that. SHIFT Communications became the first PR firm to earn certification as a Google Analytics™ Certified Partner, years before anyone else. SHIFT Communications became known for high-impact PR and measurement capabilities that are second to none. I’ve personally learned that with the right people, PR isn’t BS at all, but a vital corporate function. Ask any company that’s had a PR disaster how much it matters.

    During my time at SHIFT, I noticed something, especially among the largest clients. Companies were sitting on treasure troves of data, data that was locked away in digital filing cabinets and digital desk drawers, never to be used. Dark data. Everything from marketing analytics to ERP data to customer experience to product development – companies generate enormous amounts of data that goes unused. In the right hands, they could unlock that data and create tremendous business impact; in some cases, even save lives.

    What’s Next for Me: Co-Founding Trust Insights

    That’s why, after five years and change at SHIFT, it’s time for me to move on. I am forever grateful to the team at SHIFT Communications and especially to Todd Defren, Jim Joyal, Amy Lyons, and Paula Finestone for taking a chance on a new idea in 2012 and helping grow the agency to be so successful, it was acquired four years later. I still believe that SHIFT is the foremost data-driven PR firm, especially with my marketing technology colleagues at the helm.

    I’m leaving SHIFT Communications and the world of PR to co-found a new company, Trust Insights, whose mission will be to light up dark data. We’ll be using predictive algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to help businesses make better decisions, faster, to transform companies, and ultimately, to make the world a better place.

    For example, suppose you ran the operations for a major retail store. Using predictive algorithms, wouldn’t it be great to predict just how much staffing you’ll need at a given set of stores based on what your customers are likely to do?

    Trust Insights will help you build that prediction.

    Suppose you needed to understand the customer experience, the customer journey of high net worth individuals as a financial institution. Wouldn’t it be great to digest and understand everything these future customers are saying to align your products and services with what’s on their minds?

    Trust Insights will help you develop that understanding.

    Suppose you managed employee relations within a large, distributed corporation. Wouldn’t it be great to connect what employees say inside with the performance of the company to find what the real issues are that diminish productivity?

    Trust Insights will help you connect your data sources and find insights.

    Would you like to save time and resources in managing your data? Would you like to make more money with your data?

    Come chat with us at Trust Insights, and we’ll help shed light on your dark data.

    See you there.

  • The Importance of 3 Buckets of Digital Marketing Analytics

    The Importance of 3 Buckets of Digital Marketing Analytics 1

    In order to know what to fix, we need to understand the relationships between our metrics. We have so many to choose from. How do we make sense of any of them?

    The Importance of 3 Buckets of Digital Marketing Analytics
    Watch this video on YouTube.

    If we don’t understand the relationships between our metrics, we spend time fixing things that aren’t broken or ignoring the things that are.

    Building an understanding

    How do we simplify? How do we analyze in a coherent way?

    Three buckets of analytics

    • Awareness
    • Engagement
    • Action

    We categorize our metrics in one of these three buckets, then run analyses to understand how each bucket is performing relative to the goal we’re trying to achieve.

    Example of Twitter analytics top to bottom

    I exported all my Twitter analytics, plus Google Analytics data for Twitter traffic and Twitter-sourced goal completions. Once exported, I put everything in a spreadsheet, then ran a correlation matrix in the free, open-source R software to understand how the variables related.

    In my example, I found that my awareness and engagement buckets were fine. I saw no relationship between those two buckets and my action bucket, which is really bad.

    Knowing this, I now know what I have to fix. Awareness and engagement are strong, so I keep doing what I’m doing there, but I add more asking, more advertising, more pulling from the audience to boost action.

    I won’t go all-in on asking alone; I still have to provide more value than I take. But the data indicates I’m out of balance.

    Do the same for all your marketing analytics and metrics to understand what’s working and what isn’t.
