AMA Webinar: Feed the Content Beast
- a practical, affordable approach to create the content that supports your lead management and sales enablement initiatives
Featuring:

Ardath Albee, CEO of Marketing Interactions,
author, eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale
Description:
You are aware your prospects start their buying process online. You know they access information to understand their business problems, to learn optional approaches, and to identify potential partners -- long before they even think of contacting your sales organization.
You're beginning to shift your thinking to that of a publisher, because you appreciate the critical importance of content in this era of "emarketing."
Your lead generation, lead management and marketing automation initiatives demand it. Your sales constituents appreciate it. Your job now depends on it.
But content development is an overwhelming task. It takes too much time, effort and money. Marketing resources are already over-worked, and budgets are stretched thin.
And now you're hearing requirements for exponentially more content that is tailored so it is relevant to specific prospect interests based upon people's:
- Role, persona or stakeholder (typically 4-8)
- Issue, need or interest (again, 4-6)
- Stage of the buying process (4-6)
- Industry (3-6)
- Information Purpose (4-6)
- Competitive alternatives (3-6)
Is there a framework for content strategy and execution that can simplify this seemingly daunting task and give you more content with less effort?
Is there a methodology that will enable you to practically and affordably create content once for multiple purposes, stakeholders, buying stages, delivery media and formats?
Is there a process that will support the requirements of marketing, sales and prospects?
Please join us as we host Ardath Albee, acclaimed B2B content marketing strategist and consultant, CEO of Marketing Interactions, author of the Marketing Interactions blog, as well as her recently released book eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale.
