Right, social media marketing today is definitely at the top of its peak as a widely used internet network marketing strategy. Whether it’s B2B or B2C, making yourself an indispensable source of information increases the odds customers will purchase from you. This is the concept of attraction marketing that is being tapped by social media – develop ongoing relationships with clients and moving them along the buying path in your communications to greatly increase profits on autopilot. These clients will also bring in more business for you via referrals. The more helpful and valuable your information is, the more it establishes your credibility and identity as an authority networker.
I totally agree Paul. Too often clients think they need more or better marketing communications, even if those drive to the same tired content over and over.
Creating good content is definitely one way to deliver value to customers.
If you’re not delivering value to customers then you’re not creating effective conversational marketing.

Thanks for sharing Branden
“Also try to map your tactics more to the buying cycle when you deploy them.”
Paul, I couldn’t have said it better! Successful companies realize that it’s not just about developing content and utilizing social media’s newest and shiniest toys, it’s about laying out a comprehensive, well thought out content strategy that can be deployed through social media and drip marketing (lead nurturing). This, and only this, yields the optimum results.

There is no such thing as demand generation.
Demand exists or is not existing.
You can look and find people having a demand on your website. Then the demand exists.
@ Leadsexplorer – thanks
Thank you for this insight in your world.

@ Site & Mack – thanks for commenting
Paul, I think good content and thought leadership is the most powerful sales tool for a B2B marketer – the higher the value of the product/service, the more this rings true.
Great article mate. AG
