"The solution for better alignment? Sales enablement.

If you've been noodling sales enablement, you're not alone. Google searches for 'sales enablement' increase roughly 61 percent year over year, according to Google Trends. Sales enablement is about closing the loop between marketing and sales to ensure everyone has the intel and content they need to meet customers wherever they are on the buying journey..."

"This compares with the Small Business Administration's suggestion of spending 7% to 8% on marketing. Of that amount, the total budgeted to digital marketing is expected to rise to 45% in 2020 compared to 42% in 2019. The biggest share of digital marketing expenditures will go to video marketing, and social media ads will account for 25% of the average digital marketing budget. Let's dig a little deeper to see how you should spend your marketing dollars..."

"Daily, your salespeople cram in calls and send rapid-fire emails.

Still, they achieve fewer leads only and these are too low-quality to consider.

Even after putting the best marketing strategies in your business, your customers are taking little interest in your premium services.

But have you ever thought that maybe the problem is not in your marketing strategy?

Here's the interesting part:..."

"I like to get out at least once a week and go to a networking meeting. Meeting new people, learning about new businesses, and learning new things is exciting for me.

There's a lot of interesting people, a lot of new interesting businesses popping up and sometimes you just have to take the time to learn about them. On the other side of the coin, when you go to these meetings, you'll occasionally meet somebody who will walk up to you and say, 'Hey, what do you do?' You tell them and they grab your business card. The next thing you know you're added to an email list. Then you start getting emails from them or you start getting harassed by them on social media. That's not the way to network..."

"Now, in the digital world, the small business is as big as the bite that it decides to take from the plethora of opportunities available in front of it. And this where a technology like CRM steps in.

So, what is CRM really? A CRM platform or system is one that integrates all your business information and interactions pertaining to clients before funneling it into set tasks in the marketing automation gamut so that the right action with the right messaging reaches the right person at the right time. .."

"While machine learning does fall under the larger category of artificial intelligence (AI), it's a bit more specific and can be extremely effective technology to pair with your customer and prospect database. True AI can think for itself like Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek. Machine learning, however, can automate tasks and apply predictive analytics that drive meaningful growth. Machine learning is the AI focal point for your customer relationship management (CRM) tool and can be the key to boosting your customer acquisition..."

"Relationships really do matter. It could be with colleagues, customers, business partners, vendors, direct reports, senior leaders, and anyone else you interact with on a regular basis in the workplace.

"We all want to know that we are valued and that we have been heard. Unfortunately, there are hundreds and thousands out there who don't see this within themselves nor do they ever hear it from anyone else.

If there is anything you can take away from my weekly messages, you must know that I value you.

Get up and keep going.

Maybe you aren't as far along as you thought you would be by now. Perhaps you feel that you are too old to take a chance on changing your career but something inside of you wants to see what could be. Maybe the anxiety you are feeling is wrapped around the idea of not knowing what your future will look like. Will I even be successful? Remember, the harshest judge of your performance is always watching - that judge is you!..."

The eMerge Americas 2020 conference previously scheduled for March 30-31st at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, FL, is postponed to November 4-5, 2020 due to global precautions for the COVID-19 Coronavirus, the state of Florida's public health emergency declaration, and building upon recommendations from the World Health Organization.

We're committed to the health and wellbeing of our attendees, partners, and the community as a whole. This decision follows careful consideration, and this postponement will enable us to provide the experience that our customers, partners, and employees expect and deserve in a safe environment.
