Lead Nurture vs. Drip Campaigns Lead nurture is a close cousin to our friend drip campaign, but they’re not quite the same thing (although you may hear the terms used interchangeably). Drip campaigns are automatic campaigns that go out based on when a lead first opted in to receive marketing communications from you. Think: Day 1…

Forbes surveyed almost 1,000 sales reps, and the results were pretty shocking. Salespeople spend just 35% of their time selling. I know what you’re thinking:  Um. Hold up. Wait a minute. Selling is their JOB. How can they only spend 35% of their time doing their JOB? Relax, it’s not that you have apathetic salespeople.

The search landscape is changing every day. From algorithm updates to Google employees dropping bombs on Twitter, good SEOs (search engine optimizers) are constantly updating and shifting their search strategy to keep up with the latest methods. In the last few years, Voice Search has been a hot topic among SEOs, as the strategies and even content types these searches work well with are quite different than those from traditional search. With the meteoric rise of voice assistants (Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung’s Bixby, just to name a few)…

In this session, we’re hearing from CEO and Chief Revenue Scientist Mike Lieberman of Square 2 Marketing. Mike starts the session by asking the audience to stand up, then sit down if they haven’t met their revenue goals (not “I had a good year”, but hitting the actual GOALS you set) for 2017, Q1 of this year, Q2 of this year, and Q3 of this year. By Q3, only about 15% of the audience is left standing. So we see that, even in a room full of people interested in…

We live in a time when anyone with a computer has the opportunity to start a global company, find investors through crowdfunding, or develop a mass following on social media. It’s an incredible time to be alive, because anyone has the power to build a brand. As awesome as this is, it also means that the competition for the attention of your brand’s audience is more vast.

So who exactly is covering the costs of “free” wi-fi at airports today? Typically, providers such as Advanced Wireless Group (AWG) and Boingo use a tiered business model to generate revenue, in which all travelers have access to free basic wi-fi for a limited time (45 minutes or so) but must watch a sponsored ad before the session begins. A faster, unlimited, ad-free premium version of the service is available to those willing to pay for it.
