How Sales and Marketing Can Get the Best out of Their Content Marketing

by | Feb 5, 2014

Although sales and marketing are getting better at working together, there is always room for improvement. Together they can make sure they deliver the right content to the right people at the right time.

But in order to accomplish this, they need to work together. Here are some tips to help maximize the results of the collaborative efforts:

  • Know your audience – different people buy for different reasons. By sales and marketing working together, they can define the different personas and identify the prospects’ perspectives and content needs.
  • Have a sales retention plan – We’re all so focused on getting a lead and making a sale that once that’s completed, we forget about them until the next sale. Now that they are a customer, it’s easier to help them. Start a nurturing program and engage them, and with appropriate content, that will help with the next sale.
  • Have a plan – By working together with sales, set objectives to get the right content into the hands of your customers. Realize the one-size-fits-all approach isn’t going to work.

By working together, sales and marketing can determine the right content, whether it’s for leads, brand awareness or thought leadership.
