DAI Team Leave a comment

It is quite obvious you must have heard about the magic of content marketing or you have approached your Content Marketing Expert about testing the waters. According to Sales Benchmark Index, your sales team has a 56% more chance to get buyers in their basket if you engage the customers beforehand. This could be done by marketing the right content in order to captivate the right buyers.

Inbound marketing aka content marketing is one of the most popular of filling the sales funnel. Before starting to write for the website, you will have to ask yourself for whom are you doing it? Think from buyer’s perspective and not as someone who has to just sell the products or services. It is essential to make your sales/content team understand: Who are you writing the content for? This is because sales funnel works on 50-50 rule. Spend 50% of your time writing the content and spend 50% of your time distributing it.

You can start this by looking at your top 10 customers and understand the common parameters. For instance, you can look for skills, goals, challenges, personal demographics and recent purchase. Once you have made the content, if it doesn’t reach the targeted audience then it is of no use. It is important to spread your content so that right set of customers reach out to you. You can do this by FB groups, G+, LinkedIn, guest post, forums, influencer outreach and many other ways!

This interesting topic was taken up during the webinar on ‘Using Content To Fuel Your Sales Funnel’ by industry expert Ankit Oberoi, Co-Founder, AdPushup who beautifully explained how one can fill their sales funnel by leveraging content and its strategies in the best possible manner.
