SNHHUG May | Conversion Paths by Hubspotter Al Biedrzycki

Notas do Editor

  1. This is the inbound marketing methodology. And what it shows is that Inbound marketing is comprised of 4 very important sections – or marketing functions. These sections are Attract, Convert, Close, and Delight. There are millions- maybe even billions– of strangers wandering around the internet every day. If we optimize our site, we can attract some of these strangers to visit our website. But not just anybody, we want to attract the RIGHT visitors who are interested in the specific types of content we’re producing. Once we have these visitors on our site, that’s good, but it’s not enough. We now want to convert those visitors into leads—we want them to tell us who they are! Once we have these leads, we can nurture them with content that they’re interested in, and ultimately close them into customers. Once we have those customers, we want to delight them into promoters. Each and every one of the HubSpot applications can be used to accomplish one or more of these steps for one of these lifecycle stages. We’ve listed each tool under the marketing function where it first comes into play, but many of the tools can be applied to one or more stages of the methodology. What were some of your favorite portions of HubSpot- either when you were demoing, have already been around for a while… what was most exciting? I personally like….
  2. It's easy to understand what a content offer is when you think of a Content Offer like a book on a bookshelf. Content offers come in all different formats
  3. Hand out buyer persona worksheets
  4. So really, in order to succeed at inbound marketing—in order to get the most out of using the HubSpot software you’ve purchased, you absolutely NEED to integrate your buyer personas into every single aspect of your inbound marketing strategy. Now that’s a pretty bold statement. Let’s look a little bit deeper into this, though, and take a close look at why we must have buyer personas to succeed and some of the ways they can help us and our businesses.
  5. - The Primary purpose of a landing page is to get leads. Typically each organization has a different definition of a lead. Today when I refer to leads I am talking about a website visitor filling out a form and clicking “submit or download” Possible Question: I would love to hear everyone’s definition of lead for their company
  6. Have everyone login and go to the landing page tool and select template 2 column form right
  7. So we know a little bit about what a persona is and why they’re important, so now let’s look a how to create the personas that will bring the most qualified prospects to your website. We’re going to go into quite a depth of detail here, but it really is important that we get this right because…
