Every company wants new customers. The reality is, 74% of buyers will choose the sales professional or company that adds value or insight first in the buying process, regardless of sales cycle length. Those who aren’t adding value lose out to their competitors. Cue content marketing. The idea behind content marketing is that it’s natural. It doesn’t feel like a sales pitch and the content that you create will have legitimate value to your customers. Content can come in the form of white papers, infographics, case studies, videos, blog posts, checklist, and much more. Remember your content should add value and provide insight to your prospects and customers. Contact Becky, Communications Director, with questions.
