Think Magnets not Sledgehammers

Why interruption marketing doesn’t work


3 Simple Steps to the Sales Funnel


What is InBound?Inbound marketing is marketing that's useful.

It means acquiring customers by attracting and nurturing prospects with exceptional content, data and customer service, not interrupting them with spam.

It means pulling prospects in with a magnet, not beating them over the head with a sledgehammer.


• Inbound is just a tool, and only as good as the person using it.

• Inbound marketing will not work overnight. (Usually great results are seen between the 3-12 month time period)

• Inbound marketing requires time. (I tell everyone, the first 2 months require about 10 hours of dedication a week, and then goes down with time.)

• Inbound marketing is a culture. To have success, you must stay at it and be consistent.

• It’s amazing, but it’s NOT a magic pill.

Nothing is Free

Where to Start? 1: Get Found

Attract visitors to your website (prospects to the top of your funnel). They're the most important inbound marketing tactics because they're like a building's foundation:

Here are 4 of the most important

Pre: 5-10 leads per month

Now: 400 leads per month

Guys,

Had a refreshing and revolutionary experience yesterday. It was a script of how it’s supposed to happen. Lead comes in from someone in New Zealand. I follow up with one email then he calls me. He’s been working with someone he didn’t trust, went to Google then downloaded and read our entire buyers guide, educated himself. He already was convinced I was the expert and he wanted to work with me by the time I picked up the phone, I didn’t have to sell myself at all. The funnel worked exactly like it is supposed to. With very little effort, we just narrowed down the models that will work for his budget and I will be sending out a quote tomorrow. He has the funds, knows what he needs, knows what refurbished means etc. Unless something crazy happens I expect to have the deal signed early next week. The snowball is cresting the hill.

Step 1: Get FoundAttract visitors to your website (prospects to the top of your funnel). They're the most important inbound marketing tactics because they're like a building's foundation:

2: Search Engine Optimization Customers begin their buying process online, usually at a search engine. So you need to make sure you're listed prominently when they search. To get there, you need to carefully, analytically pick keywords, optimize your pages, create content and build links.

4: Content Marketing Content marketing is another Get Found tactic. Like blogging, it means publishing content that will attract people to your website. Unlike blogging, Content Marketing is not restricted to a specific channel — it's the general idea of using content to attract people to your site. It can also include videos, whitepapers, webinars, and other content.

Step 2: Converting LeadsConvert tactics help you take the visitors you attracted to your site with blogging, social media, and search engine optimization and convert them into into paying customers.
