In this comprehensive Lead Gen Clinic presentation, I share concepts such as Agile Marketing, Cold Warm and Hot Traffic and how to run effective marketing tests. It all rolls up into a system I use in my business. Enjoy!
18. Or…
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
• Get it done now and get it done right!
22. Development Frameworks
None
• Lots of projects starting
• Few finishing
• No results
Agile
• Able to start and finish
projects
• Responsive to changes
in the environment
23. Faces of “It Didn’t Work”
Team
• Cynicism
• Embarrassment
• “Hot Potato”
Individual
• Back to relying on
word-of-mouth
• Reducing size of goals
25. Insight
You need to understand your prospect
better than they understand themselves.
26. How To Do This
Existing Target:
• Yourself (if you are customer facing)
• Sales Team
• Talking to customers themselves
• Demographic analysis on your current customer
database
New Target:
• Survey research
• Competitive Analysis
27. Existing Target
• Information sources: anyone that is customer-
facing
• Owners
• Sales
• Service*
• Who are your decision makers/influencers?
• Can you easily group like people together?
28. New Target
• Ask Method
• Survey research
• “Single biggest challenge” question
• Depending on the length of the answer, see the pain
that they are in
• Do qualitative interviews as well to those that respond
• Survey more informally – actual users of the
product or service or competitors of the product or
service
31. What this Answers
• Where these people hang out (ie. what is their
media diet?)
• What messages this market will want (ie. what are
they normally looking at?)
• You need to reach them “where they are” – they
are not what you want them to be, they are who
they actually are.
32. Human Connection
• Attachment is at the basis of human connection
• Getting too close too soon seems aggressive
• Seek to be understood before they want to
understand you
33. Mary Ainsworth – Strange
Situation
A child who is securely attached to its mother will
explore and play freely while the caregiver is present,
using her as a "safe base" from which to explore. The
child will engage with the stranger when the
caregiver is present, and will be visibly upset when the
caregiver departs but happy to see the caregiver on
his or her return. The child feels confident that the
caregiver is available, and will be responsive to their
attachment needs and communications.
34. Human Connectedness in
Marketing
• People need to have a “safe base”
• You need to reach them where they are
• You don’t need to “shout” (though you may need their
attention!)
• People will engage with you when they have a “safe
base”
• Listen first (if possible)
• Start from their needs
37. Test
• Don’t rely on one “big bang”
• Focus instead on a bunch of smaller initiatives
• You don’t have to publish that you are doing it this
way too widely!
38. How to Create Tests
• Focus on “Minimum Viable Product” – this is not
the neighbourhood that you will live in
• Start small, get fancy later
• Make it an “educated guess”
39. What is Working Now
• Google Remarketing
• Facebook Retargeting
• Facebook Live
• “Boosting” Facebook Live posts
• Facebook promotions to friends of people who like
your page
• E-mail marketing (it still works)
• PPC (not in all markets)
• Targeting e-mail lists
• Webinars
• Public Relations
41. Cold, Warm, Hot
• Cold – people on “other people’s media”
• Warm – people who have shown initial interest:
• E-Mail list
• Facebook list
• Google remarketing list
• Hot – people who have already bought (this is not a
reason to stop marketing)
42. Cold, Warm, Hot
• Cold: get them to subscribe
• Warm: get them to buy
• Hot: upsell opportunity (renewal opportunity)
44. Example B
• Start-up events
• Women’s events
• Marketing events
• Working with extended teams
• Social media
• Local chamber of commerce
45. Tips on Running Tests
• Understand what you are going to test before-hand
(tip – focus on measurable results – sales, leads,
downloads, applicants).
• There are no sacred cows – kill stuff that isn’t
working!
• Try to keep the budget as low as possible while still
getting a good test.
• Once you figure out something that is working,
retest based on different variables.
46. Special Note
• These are not statistical tests
• Don’t focus too much on the “perfect test”
• This is Marketing
• Instead, decide on your result from the outset and
TEST
47. Retesting
• Try creatives tests on the same medium
• Note – headline is the most important variable!
• Test different types of the same thing that is
working (events, websites etc.)
• Look carefully at the demographics that are
working and test different places where that
demographic lives.
48. Unite
• Once you have some successful tests under your
belt, you can start to unite others behind you
• This is a not-to-be-forgotten step
49. Creative Ways to Unite
• Individual discussions thinking of the pain that you
are solving for each of them
• Meeting of minds
• The more involved people are, the more engaged
they will be in the final decision
50. Creative Ways to Unite
• Introductory videos
• Videos of early adopters
• Crowdsourcing of ideas
• Google Analytics for decision makers
• Get them on board and enjoying the process
51. Unite – Sample
• Creating a committee on messaging.
• Send the draft around the committee.
• Messaging got completely created by the group,
and the group became completely on-board rather
than it being top-down.
52. Unite - Sample
• Found like-minded people who want to achieve the
same goals.
• Genuinely connected.
• Got them to contribute their skills.
• Created a brand, a website, cards and more.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for a favor, but also always
give favors in exchange.
53. Unite – Sample
• Created a brainstorm list of names
• Got people to vote on those ideas
• Based on the results of the top 5, tested it with
Google Display Network A/B/C/D/E testing
• Once idea was chosen, crowdsourced a cover
• Got key people to review the cover and vote
• Used the Google Display Network and did
A/B/C/D/E testing again
56. Scale
• Based on your tests, find out:
• What is working
• What needs to be tweaked
• What needs to be brought to a different audience.
• Find prices for each element
• Create a formal budget and plan (planning coming
soon)!
57. Scaling Guide for
Bootstrappers
• Start with a savings ($300)
• Take advantage of free offers from Facebook and
Google
• Do various tests with a clear goal
• Based on the success or failure of the tests, re-
invest your profit
• Grow your marketing methods
58. Plan
• Now you have the system in place, you can plan
budgets and execution.
• If you are an entrepreneur, it is a good idea to
invest money you have made in the initial stages
back into the new campaigns.
• Excellent and simple tools for planning.
59. Tools for Planning
• Written goals
• Project Lists
• Gantt Charts including dependencies
60. Projects List
• Headings:
• Project
• Accountable
• Green/Yellow/Red Status
• Stakeholder
• Details
• Next Steps
61. Gantt Chart
• Show list of projects
• Show dependencies
• Show planned dates
• Make the chart simple so you can be flexible
62. Daily Meetings
• Scrum-style
• What did you do yesterday?
• What are you going to do today?
• Update everyone on any changes that have recently
happened
63. Unite
• Once you have some successful tests under your
belt, you can start to unite others behind you
• This is a not-to-be-forgotten step
68. Why Did You Show Up?
• You wanted more leads by spring.
• You wanted to make a change in your business or
your environment.
• You wanted to feel HAPPY.
70. Options
Go It Alone
• Find pieces individually
• Use information that
may or may not be up
to date
• Go it alone and perhaps
lose motivation
Journey With Me
• Use a unified system
• Have the latest and
used by a current
practitioner
• Have support
71. The Gap
• Agencies are expensive
• Consultants and gurus are experts only in what
they understand
72. The Gap
• Many PhDs in marketing are not practitioners
• Marketing journals are not read by a practical audience
• Many have never actually run a real campaign
• College instructors do not necessarily disclose their
results

business

2017!

82. Thank You!
• I've been reflecting a lot about
my past experiences and I
wanted to thank you for being
such a great mentor and for
believing in me. All the things I
learned in my first job are
fundamental to who I am
today. – Tiffany Y
• I had the pleasure of working
for Stefania during the
formative months of my first
foray into marketing. She was
attentive, patient, and
provided a wonderful role-
model to develop myself and
grow into a new career. -
Cameron S
• I don't feel like I'm working
when I'm with Stefania. It
feels more like I'm building
a sand castle at the beach,
only that what we end up
building is so good, that
passerby's stop to admire.
• Jon L
• Stefania is easy to work
with. She listens. She knows
what she doesn't know, so
when she makes a promise,
it's a guarantee that can be
counted upon.
