With people sharing their experiences and how they&#8217;ve effectively been able to use cold calling vs. the content marketers in the group who advocated an end to cold calling entirely.<\/p>\n<p>What struck me though was that after a few volley&#8217;s back and forth someone asked: <em>What&#8217;s a young sales person or company to do when they are not well established in their industry but need to grow their network? Rely on luck? Magic?\u00a0<\/em>(I&#8217;m paraphrasing).<\/p>\n<p>I realized that&#8217;s the real problem, isn&#8217;t it? As a local North Canton business, we see our customers in the Akron, Canton, &amp; Cleveland areas all facing the same truth &#8212; &#8216;Traditional&#8217; marketing methods aren&#8217;t working like they used to. \u00a0But at the same time all this &#8216;fluff&#8217; about <strong>content &amp; internet marketing<\/strong>\u00a0seems like a stretch.<\/p>\n<p>So what are we as business leaders to do?<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It would seem <strong>Inbound Marketers<\/strong> are saying &#8216;<strong>blog for business<\/strong>.&#8217; \u00a0While many seasoned professionals are saying, &#8216;stick to the basics, kid,&#8217; &#8216;<strong>dial for dollars<\/strong>,&#8217; and (my favorite) &#8216;it&#8217;s a numbers game.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But neither approach is satisfying in-and-of itself. Both seem like long, hard (and lonely) paths to <strong>generate new business<\/strong>. And there are no guarantees in this world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>What&#8217;s the Diff?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Traditional sales techniques, content, and inbound marketing tactics all seek to establish the company as a trusted expert in a given area. The problem with cold calling &#8212; it&#8217;s been devalued as a viable media channel after years and years of abuse by our fellow marketers. The same thing goes for TV ads and Direct Mail with .1% response rates. <em>Hey &#8211; we did it to ourselves. Times were good in the 80s-90s though right?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That said, these marketing techniques are not as far apart as they would seem. Whether you&#8217;re cold calling or content marketing &#8212; <strong>you need to define your target market. \u00a0<\/strong>You need to know your audience and speak to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m a new business, I&#8217;m taking a look at my existing network of friends, families, teachers, associates, past customers &#8212; \u00a0anyone and every one in my extended network. I then work to\u00a0create a profile of my ideal client and I research the <em>bajeebers<\/em> out of people who fit that target.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t make cold calls. Make warm calls.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t just blog about some generic topic. Understand the questions and challenges your target market is facing and work to answer those questions whether through your company&#8217;s website or&#8230;.I dunno&#8230;through a LinkedIn group about marketing.<\/p>\n<p>My recommendation &#8212; know who you&#8217;re targeting. Get inside their head. Work your existing network and say &#8212; hey do you know anyone like this? Can you introduce me? Be careful not to abuse your network, but DO cultivate it. Add value.<\/p>\n<p>Get creative and put yourself out there with big bold gestures like providing them with a free in-depth report specifically about their business and suggestions on how to improve their lives&#8230;but without getting to &#8216;pitchy&#8217; as we live in a more sophisticated, soft sell world.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"commentID_112133686\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remember, cold calling and content marketing are both tactics. They&#8217;re sub-parts of your top-level <strong>Marketing Strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order for any business to grow, marketers need to:<br \/>\n1) Set targets &amp; measures for success<br \/>\n2) Determine what your available budget \/ time is to invest in this activity<br \/>\n3) Review all available tactics &amp; media channels<br \/>\n4) Determine which will have most benefit for their\u00a0business<br \/>\n5) COMMIT to executing on those activities for a set period until it&#8217;s time to assess the program&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>A successful growth strategy incorporates lots of testing and room for failure.
