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.
When the Links you post to Social Media Sites and in your Emails are CLICKED….there is the potential for you to leverage valuable marketing intelligence that can help your business not only increase sales but provide better support for your customers.
Tools like Mailchimp offer great analytics around the engagement of an audience for a specific campaign.
You will understand who receives an email and if an action was taken like clicking a link that was somewhere in that email. You may even know if a Mailchimp email was forwarded on to someone else.
What happens when the Campaign is over? Do the analytics stop with it?
There is intelligence that can still be gathered and leveraged long after the life of a campaign has ended.
One example – You drive your audience to a specific landing page on your website….your audience however is bouncing off that page on to another page.
Then….those people return to that page outside of the campaign days later? Are you capturing that intelligence?
Do you understand the experience your digital audience is having with your online brand?
By the time your prospects decide to contact your company…in many cases they have already made the decision whether to work with you based on the experience they have had leading up to them making contact.
You are trusting your digital audience that they will see something on your website that will make them want to make contact with you.
What about the companies that never contact your company but clicked through and spent time on your website?
They made decisions on their own not to take that next step. Maybe they misunderstood what you offer?
Maybe they just did not like your website. Maybe they thought what they need….your company does not offer.
There are so many reasons why a next step is NOT taken. How would understanding who is on your website impact your sales/revenue?
In this segment Thom and I discuss how some companies in specific industries are laggards in this area.
We also discuss how one specific company uses the Intelligence MergedAnalytics delivers plus Cupcakes to close more business.
What makes a Sales Person…good at their craft? Hint….no one likes the feeling of being “sold” .
Some of the best salespeople I have known throughout my 20 plus year career have not had great personalities and did not fit the mold of what many think of when the prototypical sales person comes to mind.
Thom and I discuss what characteristics a salesperson needs to be defined as being good (or great) at their craft.
We also discuss how tools like MergedAnalytics make people better at selling and closing business .
Marketing/Media Agencies who do the following for their customers including….
– Build websites – SEO – Create, Schedule and Send mass emails and newsletters of behalf of their customers – Post actionable content to social media on behalf of their customers
… often require that one last piece to easilyMERGE those data points together into clear and actionable reports.
To achieve this level of reporting… they are using MergedAnalytics to deliver this intelligence but in their own Branding!
In this segment Thom and I discuss how and why White Labeling MergedAnalytics make so much sense for these types of organizations.
In general I prefer receiving a cold email for reasons I go into in this segment.
With tools like MergedAnalytics….both cold calls and cold emails can be drastically warmed up for you.
If you know information about your website visitors including…. – Company Name – How they found your website – Where they spent time on your website – Possibly their email address
If you have that kind information …. cold emails and/or calls are NOT freezing cold anymore. They are warm!
Any prospect that feels a salesperson understands their need is likely to continue on to the next step in the sales process.
