Let's talk about Content Marketing

Product and marketing teams pour their hearts and souls into creating an incredible product line-up and a go-to-market strategy. But if the money-making pages, a.k.a. your product pages, don’t give potential customers what they want, it’ll cost you thousands of dollars and negatively impact your bottom line. A terribly designed product page does three things: Creates a negative user experience Increases bounce rates Reduces conversion rates So, if you don’t give users what they want, they won’t think twice before navigating away from your website.

Organizing and tracking sales documents is a powerful component of your sales management and sales enablement efforts. You can save your staff a lot of time by getting organized while making sure your best content is being used correctly. If done right – with the right tools – you can also gain critical insights that will shape your content marketing efforts. Still managing sales assets the old way? Share and track collateral with Content Camel HubSpot has sales document tracking features and this article goes deep on how it works, the benefits, the cost, and the limitations as well as comparing it to Content Camel’s sales enablement tool.

Every content manager we’ve spoken to has one issue with production: terribly written first drafts. Does this sound familiar to you? Then you’re not alone. It boils down to a lack of standardized content production processes. The production process is tedious, and that only worsens if you don’t have the right systems in place. To avoid this, create a solid content production workflow, and incorporate a key ingredient to set your strategy into motion: the content brief.

Did you know that 65% of over-performing sales teams have a dedicated sales enablement person (or team), and 84% achieve their quotas when there’s a quality sales enablement strategy in place? If you want to be one of those teams absolutely knocking it out of the park, then, it’s easy to see that you need a push for sales enablement. Yes, this is sometimes easier said than done, because great sales enablement involves collaboration across multiple departments.

Are you overwhelmed and stretched thin, trying to juggle all the pieces of your content marketing workflow? If that’s the case, you need a content calendar to streamline your production. These calendars create a baseline for production and help you scale your content efforts. Even though planning, creating, delivering, and updating content calendars require time and effort, the results are worth it. This blog post will discuss how you can create an efficient content calendar that works for your marketing team while managing ongoing projects.

Most businesses struggle with maintaining their content inventory because of the lack of a robust sales enablement content management system. For sales teams, the goal is to meet their quota by any means necessary, but more often than not, the driver turns out to be content. For example, prospects might ask sales reps how a specific product feature works or the ROI of purchasing the product. They’ll likely send a case study or product brochure addressing these points.

A one-pager is a document that gives a high-level overview of something, usually one topic. One-pager can be used for just about anything - from summarizing an event to giving an overview of a company or product. The key is to tailor the one-pager to its intended audience. That means prioritizing the design and content based on what is most important to them. For example, in the business world, one-pagers are typically heavy on text and light on graphics.

Marketing and sales spend an enormous amount of time hashing out different pipeline stages and funnel stages, trying to determine at what point different users fit into each. And you probably have an established process, so reviewing that will be incredibly helpful and save everyone a lot of time and testing. In order to help you create a stronger marketing and sales funnel upfront that converts more, we’re going to go over how to design a perfect marketing sales funnel design that will make every department happy.

At Content Camel, we’re constantly thinking about helping buyers buy, and looking back at building our own resource center on our site, we realized that almost all resource centers fall short from delivering content organized for the buyer. So why is that? Get templates, best practices. Insights. Join our newsletter to take it to the next level And, yeah, ours could be improved too, so we totally understand the struggle, but these issues stuck out as we did our research:

When you really break it down, helping buyers buy is really what your marketing site is all about, right? That’s certainly how we think about things here, at Content Camel. And it was obvious after many sales calls that a pricing calculator would be helpful – even though we have standard pricing (which is pretty rare in the sales enablement space). On average, B2B buyers consume up to eight vendor-created pieces of content and five third-party pieces before making a buying decision, according to research by FocusVision.
