He has been both in corporate America and on his own. He is currently the Co-Founder of MergedAnalytics. Joe resides in Connecticut with his wife and two kids. During the recording of this episode, we had to deal with a little internet wackiness, but all-in-all, we rolled with it and here you go. Just like in entrepreneurship, you have to roll with what you have. Find out more about Joe and Merged Analytics on LinkedIn. Listen to the Episode Here“

We Merge results from …

– Email Marketing

-Social Media Marketing

-Website Visits

Exporting data into formatted reports is as simple as a couple of clicks of the mouse.

This video walks you through this simple process of extracted MergedAnalytics intelligenc.

Do you understand the journey your digital audience takes before they finally land on your website?

There are three data points we Merge together for you so you can understand not only the journey but what your audience is most interested in when it comes to making a purchase.

The three data points we Merge together are…

– Website Clicks

– Clicks on the links you post to Social Media

– Email Marketing

The Email Marketing data point is very powerful as MergedAnalytics connects to your email service provider like #Mailchimp as well as CRM systems like #msdynamics365.

Here’s the thing….without the use of cookies….once we uncover the Email Addresses of the people who click the links in your Email Campaigns….MergedAnalytics REMEMBERS those email addresses.

So if a recipient of one of your emails clicks a link you post to LinkedIn….you would know the EMAIL ADDRESS of the person who clicked that link. If that person then went on to your website…you would know that too!!!!

How would understanding exactly which email addresses were on your website as well as what their interest was in what you sell….help your business?

Thom and I talk more about Email Marketing in this segment.

mergedanalytics.com

Did you know in both #msdynamics365 and #ClickDimensions a Lead and a Contact are classified as two separate entities?

A prospect will interact with your digital brand differently than an existing customer would.

Just like….Your organization will certainly interact with a contact differently than you would a prospect.

With the use of SmartLinks… MergedAnalytics connects to both MS Dynamics and Click Dimensions giving users the ability to understand how specific Prospects and Customers are interacting with your digital brand.

More than what link they clicked and who clicked it in an email campaign…but did they return to your website? If so…how many times and what were their interests?

Interested? Give it a try and see for yourself!

Those 3 dots in the MergedAnalytics logo represent the 3 main data points from which your digital audience is interacting with your brand…

– Website Visits

– Email Marketing

– Social Media Marketing.

When we merge those points together…the entire journey your audience has with your brand becomes more clear.

Sometimes your marketing intention is to drive your audience to a specific landing page but in the real world your audience bounces off that page and on to other pages on your website. Is the experience your audience is having….the one you want them to have?

– Should you modify your message?

– Are you marketing in the wrong places?

– Should you improve the content on pages where your audience is ultimately ending up?

In this segment Thom and I discuss how the intelligence MergedAnalytics delivers helps businesses control , manage and react to the experience your customers and prospects have with your digital brand. https://mergedanalytics.com/

“They” say good marketing comes from good story telling.

Once upon a time there was a company who wanted an edge against their competition but felt they could not afford to procure the tools they needed to get that edge.

Tools that would help them quickly and easily analyze the people and companies interacting with their digital brand.
– Who are they?
– How did they find our website?
– What website pages did they click?
– How many times did they return?

“The tools we need to answer those questions are for the big companies with large digital marketing budgets” said the owner. “We simply do not have the budget or the resources for something like that” he exclaimed.

Then one day the business owner saw a post on Linkedin from a company named MergedAnalytics. They claimed that they are leveling the playing field small businesses just like them and provide the tools that are just what the business owner needed at a very low monthly fee.

The owner read that MergedAnalytics has tools which provide Timely Actionable Intelligence that will help Increase Revenue and would take only 5 minutes to set up.

The owner contacted them and after speaking with MergedAnalytics liked what he saw and moved forward.

He is now able to merge data from three main sources …
– Website Visits
– Social Media Marketing
– Email Marketing

The data became available quickly after set up in the form of easy to understand actionable reports.

The business owner and his business partners were happy.

They were able to support their customers and prospects in a way they never thought possible resulting in more sales and happy customers.

They all lived happily ever after.

The End.

Whatever your job title is…you are selling something to some one. I am sure some readers are saying to themselves right now…I am not in sales.

Yes you are…

– Teachers sell to their students

– Parents sell to their children

– You are selling to your Boss

– Coaches sell to their players

– Dog owners sell to their Dogs

And so on.

More than ever… I have noticed a trend that Sales and Marketers although they are trying to increase sales or entice you to click content links or website pages….are trying to give an impression they are not selling.

As soon as someone senses someone is is trying to sell something..it could be a turn off and even somewhat passé.

No one likes the feeling of being sold or taken advantage of …but the other extreme is just as offensive.

The 2% of your prospects that IDENTIFY themselves to you have a great chance of moving forward with your product or service offering.

These people identify themselves and ask to be contacted. They fill out a form, opt in and make contact with your business in some way. MergedAnalytics is more concerned with the other 98% of your audience who click through your Social Media Posts Links and Website Pages….Anonymously.

This goes way beyond just website visitor intelligence. Who are these people, what Companies are they from, how and where are they interacting with your brand and lastly….what are their needs?

MergedAnalytics will help you answer those questions. In many cases you will be able to proactively ENGAGE with your audience earlier in the sales process than normal putting your organization in position to win more business.

Early Engagement = Conversions

Customer – “We are going with MergedAnalytics because it delivers intelligence that I would rather pay $59 per month than the $500 per month your competitor from England charges. “

Sounds reasonable to me.

This was before my customer even knew that he can also use Smartlinks at no additional charge to get even deeper intelligence including EMAIL Addresses.

It is not always about price until it is about price.

Which price sounds better to you?
