Why has content marketing become so important?
Because your prospects are spending more and more time researching you — and your competitors — on the Internet before they pick up the phone to call.
If you're not impressing them with your insight and wisdom, your competitors probably are.
By integrating thought leadership into your sales process, the new discipline of content marketing forces you to answer questions like:
- How often are you getting in front of your clients and prospects?
- And how regularly?
- Are your client-facing professionals using thought leadership as a sales tool to strengthen relationships and build new ones?
- Are you tapping into all the content sources within your organization?
- Have you aligned your content strategy with your business development strategy by matching thought leadership to the interests of high-value market segments?
When idea-driven businesses fail to publish their thinking, it's like the tree in the proverbial forest: No one knows how smart you are. Asset managers, law firms, consultants and other professional services businesses who generate intellectual capital must start thinking like publishers instead of traditional marketers — and sharing their ideas with prospects even before they become clients.
