Up to NowSelling > marketing is broken > why?
Gap > customer reality versus company reality > roadblock to revenue
Solution > interview customers > revenue roadmap > worked
Digital Revolution > Mobile has changed everything and Google is your other “customer”
Business books seem all the same to me. I buy them all the time in Audible and I am always disappointed. Everyone has the same things to say - like I haven't taken business 101 a million times.
I have been thinking for many years about how lost business owners are about their customers and how they need to market to them.
The way Zhivago has laid it all out, and the writing, are brilliant. I am addicted now and reading every second I get.

It’s not just the phones.
It’s not just texting and
social and 24/7 access.
It is consumerism
at the speed of thought.
Want something?
Whip out your phone, Google
it, get what you need.

Principle #1
Wars are won with principles, not tactics.
![Page 9: NIM 2/20/17 Event Slide Show: Digital Revolution Revenue Roadmap](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58cfefa21a28ab11578b5d7b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Principle #2 Everything starts with the customer.
![Page 10: NIM 2/20/17 Event Slide Show: Digital Revolution Revenue Roadmap](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58cfefa21a28ab11578b5d7b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Principle #3
Meet customer’s expectations,
Google’s expectations, and
your revenue expectations.
![Page 11: NIM 2/20/17 Event Slide Show: Digital Revolution Revenue Roadmap](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58cfefa21a28ab11578b5d7b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Meet Customer Expectations
• Interview customers after they buy (book)• Use customer behavior analysis tools: Google
Trends; Google Analytics (locations, interest, site flow); HotJar; SpyFu
• See what is working for your competitors “resorts newport”
![Page 12: NIM 2/20/17 Event Slide Show: Digital Revolution Revenue Roadmap](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58cfefa21a28ab11578b5d7b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Meet Google Expectations
• Google wants to 1) know who you are, 2) what you sell, and 3) what makes it special. Most companies never get to #1.
• Google needs proof – and you can create it.• Lots of work, endless optimization.
• Google is your friend – they want to give customers what they want, and if you are what they want, they want to give you to customers.

Meet Revenue Expectations• What to measure • Map out their buying process – NOT your selling
process – build new measurements based on what you learn
• Forecast based on their buying process - decision points
• Don’t guess – build it and start getting market feedback
