]]> Comment on What Printers Might Not Know About Print Buyers (but should)… by socialsam http://printmediacentr.com/2011/06/what-printers-might-not-know-about-print-buyers-but-should/#comment-405 socialsam Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:57:02 +0000 http://printmediacentr.com/?p=10325#comment-405 And this, in a nutshell, is why I was never good at sales. I think we all know that buyers don't want to be interrupted or stalked just so I can tell you all about my product and how much more amazing it is than what you're already using (even if that's true). But sales people have sales managers who continue to insist on managing them the old-fashioned way. And that way involves a quota of cold calls, a quota of appointments, and a quota of closed deals. Today I work in marketing, which is a much better place for adding value and education to the lives of our prospects and clients. Sooner or later we will all have to acknowledge that prospects spend far more time researching us on the internet and through friends than ever before, and marketing is now spending more time with prospects than sales people. What advice do you have for those poor salespeople who are required to call you 8 times before they are allowed to stop harassing you? And this, in a nutshell, is why I was never good at sales.

I would summarize my answer in one word - relevance We are in world of increasing noise. I forget the statistic about how many brands cross my eyes in a day (it has probably already gone up since I read it...) so what I personally can't afford to do is waste time in irrelevances. Take my twitter strategy, for example. By the standards of many, I don't tweet so often (perhaps 1-6 times a day), but when I do I hope it stirs a thought or adds some value to the lives of people who see and read it. I often choose not to follow people who follow me simply because when I take a look at their tweets, they add no value to me. In short, they are not relevant. If the content of your work, on any platform, is good, the reach has more value. But to court numbers for its own sake, has less value in my opinion. The only nagging suspicion I have is how the Google algorithms measure this? Doh, still don't know :) The $64m Question! I would summarize my answer in one word – relevance
