- 5. Agenda • The Art & Science of Mind Reading • Be a profiler – Start with the facts – Use forensic evidence & behaviors – Set a plan to intercept them • Marketing Automation: More than an Enabler • Conclusions
- 6. Part science.. Part art What does it takes to be a mind reader?
- 7. Part science.. Part art Mind reading experiment 1. Think of a number between 1 and 10 2. Multiply that number by 9 3. If the result is a 2-digit number, add the digits together (i.e. for 35 add 3+5=8, etc.) 4. Subtract 5 from that number 5. Determine which letter of the alphabet corresponds to your number: i.e. 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc. 6. Think of a country that starts with that letter 7. Think of an animal that starts with the last letter of that country 8. Think of a fruit that starts with the last letter of the animal‟s name
- 8. Who’s thinking of… Kangaroos eating oranges in Denmark
- 9. Part science.. Part art • SCIENCE - Questions 1-5 lead to the #4 • SCIENCE - 4th letter in alphabet is “D” • SCIENCE & ART – Only 4 counties in world begin w/”D” (Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica & Dominican Republic) • SCIENCE & ART – Few animals begin with “K” and Kangaroo is most common (Kiwi, Koala, Killer Whale, etc.) • SCIENCE & ART – „Orange' comes most easily to mind • ART – Making participants feel “the magic” without the disappointment of feeling tricked
- 10. Less like a mind reader… More like a profiler • Build a profile • Broaden the profile using forensic evidence & behaviors • Flush out the full profile – What they look like – How they behave – What drives them • Watch behavior & plan to intercept
- 11. Build a profile Start w/Science… predictable & provable • Company Characteristics – Industry – Geography – Revenue – Employees • Personal Characteristics – Title – Function
- 12. Build a profile Add some art… for context & color Demographics Psychographics • What are their interests? Career paths? Professional goals? • What keeps them up at night? • How do they influence the buying process? Who influences them in the buying process? • What do they read? Where do they go to learn?
- 13. Forensic evidence & behaviors Keywords & web traffic
- 14. Flush out the full profile… Buyer’s journey • What high % business challenge does she face? • How will she go about solving that challenge? • How will she evaluate her options? • Why are you her best alternative to solve that business challenge?
- 15. Flush out the full profile… Media choices • NOT “which device” does she prefer, think… – First screen – Primary screen – Media mix • Where she lives digitally • Non-digital mediums
- 16. Flush out the full profile(s)
- 17. Watch behavior & plan to intercept
- 18. Marketing Automation’s role • More than just “automation” • Triggered action based on real-time behaviors – Drip/Nurture – Auto-respond – Sales Alerts • Analytics.. What’s working and what’s not
- 19. Summary • Mind Reading – an Art and a Science • Develop Content Strategy for Personas & Segments • Find Alternative Ways to Reach Personas and Segments • Leverage Marketing Automation to Reach Prospects • Extract Insights from Marketing Automation to Dive Deeper into the Minds of Prospects • Deliver Answers to their Unique Pains • Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
