    The secret to content marketing boils down to three things: creating great content, making sure it gets found in search engines, and promoting it to your customers, your employees and stakeholders.  We’re talking relevant, creative, engaging content that cuts thru the noise and actually gets read and sells.  The first recommendation is that you hire a Manager of Content Marketing.

  1. Training the Sales Trainer – Managers as Coaches
    Sales and marketing managers soon find out that sales people are unique personalities that respond to special training skills.  The traditional senior male manager managing a young homogeneous sales force exists only in the past.  Today’s world is more complicated……..Understanding how they learn, why they think the way they do, and what makes them work to optimum levels are covered in this fast-paced / intensive training session.  It examines why today’s managers need to be coaches and gear their training to the way sales professionals of all ages and gender learn.Anyone with a manager title should be skilled in training and in developing his or her people. This will have a two-fold benefit for all managers:

    • improve their teaching / managing skills
    • improve their everyday personal interactions with their customers and sales force

Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
