Showing up on time is too late

If you are showing up “on time” for a Networking Event…you are too late.

Thom and I talk about how important networking in person is even when you sell software like we do.

Yes…it is better to do the demonstration via zoom but at some point you need to physically meet your customers.

I find that customers who you never meet in person have an easier time moving on from you.

When you have a physical connection….the relationship means more.

By the way…the same goes if you are an employee and work from home.

Statistically…the people who DO NOT have strong in person relationships with managers and coworkers…are most likely the first to be let go during layoffs.

Thom and I discuss this further.

The value of sticking with it

What is the value of sticking with things?

Although it may seem difficult in the moment…. often NOT quitting and grinding something out turns out much better than you would think.

Thom and I discuss how without sticking with MergedAnalytics…there is so much we would have missed.

Some advantages of sticking with a startup business…

– Stories – In the beginning the stories are few and far between but as time goes on…experiences happen that turn into interesting stories that help market your brand

– New verticals – We can sell #mergedanalytics to ANY B2B business but we discovered the value of pursuing a vertical

– The value of Verticals – You learn their pains and vernacular. You start to network where they network. Your world becomes smaller. Your prospects network with each other.

– Using your product in other ways – We discovered a great niche by leveraging QR Codes with MergedAnalytics #smartlinks. This idea came to us from one of our long-time customers.

By the way…as Kenny Rogers said…”you have know when to foldem” as well.

The point here is…we often walk away from opportunities too soon.

Are you chasing clicks from non humans?

Do the digital marketing analytics you deliver to your customers lack veracity?

I work with many marketing agencies and lead gen firms.

I am constantly having to remind my customers that by default MergedAnalytics filters out the server clicks, bots, crawlers and basically all of the non human clicks that many other stacks including Google Analytics deliver.

“But Mailchimp is showing all of these opens and clicks on links in our email campaigns but I am not seeing that data reflected in #mergedanalytics ” they say to me.

To be honest this conversation can get very uncomfortable.

Marketing and Lead Gen Agencies do not want to believe all the work they are doing are not generating results.

No one wants to believe their analytics lack veracity.

As I say often….do not shoot the messenger. You could swallow the blue pill and believe your campaigns are doing amazing.

I would recommend however taking the Red pill and understand the truth.
By searching for the truth you will be that much closer to the path of marketing enlightenment.

Mailchimp

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?

Marketing/Media Agencies who do the following for their customers including….

– Build websites
– SEO

… 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.

The importance of Email Addresses

When it comes to your digital audience….It’s all about knowing email addresses and interest level in your company’s offerings.

The typical scenario …. a person receives an email with a link … that person clicks the link….looks at your website quickly and is interested.

They decide to return to your website later on when they have more time.

It is when these people return to your website that is the key ingredient.

Thom and I discuss the importance of why integrations with tools like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Active Campaign etc. make MergedAnalytics essential for your business.
