13. Targeting: Key to 1:1 Engagement
“1:1 engagement relies on our ability to target! However, our targeting
suffers from incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date data, resulting in
poorly aligned messages, content and calls to action, and we waste marketing
spend and miss sales opportunities”.
Targeting Checklist
Market Scope – describes the geographic scope of your market
Firmographics – answers “who” questions
Product Usage – answers “how much” questions
Persona, Benefits Desired and Behavior – answers “why” and “how” questions

15. Marketing Technology
• Simplicity rules in a complex world.
• The wrong message, to the right person is still the wrong
message.
• The technology and data exist to market effectively,
efficiently and to the point.
• The best tools are worthless without the right person/team
• You can’t spell “ROI” without the “I”
Perfect Prospect Perfect Message Happy Marketer
17. IMPRESSION VISITO
R
WEB FORM
• Just as different keywords require different ad copy (because different
keywords denote different stages in the “sale” from impression to website
visitation
• So different types of keywords require different landing pages, as there is a
whole new “close” that needs to take place to get from visitation to web
inquiry …. And from web inquiry to SQL
