After all, if you get too chummy with customers — or even appear too interested in or sympathetic to their personal circumstances — they might start to want more from you: better pricing, extended credit, lengthier conversations, access to your services on nights and weekends, etc.
Keep your pitch conversational — no one likes a hard sell. How can you keep the conversation going if it feels like they still might be considering your offer? Maybe you sound like you’re giving a lecture instead of having a conversation. • Embrace the risk of being specialized and present your business’s unique identity.
With a tactical understanding of two different marketing strategies: demand generation and leadgeneration. While your competitors pump out gated ebooks and “state of the industry” lead magnets that generate low-to-no intent MQLs, tap into existing demand to build a pipeline of high intent leads.

You set up meetings with potential partners, customers, and dormant leads who finally seem ready to take the plunge. Get more responses to direct mail.
How about actually having a conversation with a person, and not only a manual conversation but also an automated conversation? It used to be that you could be doing only one channel, only one digital channel, that has directmarketing, which is email. But what about inter activities? You can ask the same questions.
So I think that the big, big thing that people really get wrong about social media, and this is the real impetus behind why I created this book is that people mistake… They think that social media is a tool for what we call directmarketing and not really for brand marketing.
