themselves. Digital experiences are heuristic.
A consumer can determine if there is value in a web experience with in 1/20 of a second. If it is not valuable then they leave. On average a person only stays on 1.7 pages of a website Nobody taught consumers how to search, how to use email, or use Facebook. They learned on their own. - Cliff Seal 2015

We Disqualify before we Qualify
The massive amount of data coming to us via email has trained us to first delete what is not relevant so we can have an easier time managing what we really need to be working on. This is a Heuristic behavior, because nobody taught you how to do this. You just learned on your own.

We batch research
Based on how easy it is to find and consume content we now naturally do it in large batches. Once again this is a learned behavior and something which is a new buyer behavior. If we can understand this we can now start to optimize for greater content conversions when someone is on our site.

Lifecycle Management
The lifecycle begins with the very first touch, and never stops. However, with in each lifecycle there are many sub cycles. It is the CMO’s role to ensure they all fit together seamlessly to optimize the relationship. The sub cycles may be managed by different tools, people, or organizations, but should be orchestrated by the CMO.

Path To
Purpose
There is no longer a path to purchase, but a Path to Purpose. Buyers paths are constant strings of moments intertwined together equaling an experience, fulfilling a buyers purpose. What are your buyers purpose for engaging with you? - Google Think, Path to Purpose

Purpose is Contextual The role of the new middle is to have contextual engagements with people. These engagements are a combination of human and automated interactions designed to build rapport, overcome simple objections, and create a strong and lasting relationship with the brand.

Escape !People wanting to escape will lean on self discover and
social channels. They are looking to escape their work, life, job, and take a short break. No barring on sales readiness. However the escape must be an honest, escape. It can not
be contrived by a business, but must be found by the person.

Discover!Discovery is one of the greatest gifts of the internet. We
have both passive and active discovery modes.
Active Discovery: Direct searches on the internet Passive Discovery: When you scroll down in Facebook
![Page 46: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Self Discovery Is the highest form of value the internet provides. Mass publication is the lowest form of value it provides. - David Weinberger
![Page 47: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Active Discovery
Discovery is extremely powerful for marketers to understand
because it allows us to fulfill a desired purpose of the consumer.
Consider how much we like to discover. The top 7 websites in
the world are all places for consumers to actively discovery
things.
-Alexa research 2015
Top 7 Site are: 1. Google 2. Facebook 3. Youtube 4. Baidu 5. Yahoo 6. Amazon 7. Wikipedia
![Page 48: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
ActiveDiscovery
Anytime you do a search you are engaging in “Active Discovery” This is when you are looking, seeking, or wanting to find a specific item. “Amazon.com strives to be the e-commerce destination where consumers can find and discover anything they want to buy online.” – Jeff Bezos
![Page 49: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Passive Discovery Passive discovery is the secondary action of search. It is the reason we “Surf ” in the first place. We are passively seeking an experience, and trust the things we find on our own. Discovering something new is our purpose.
![Page 50: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
PassiveDiscovery There is value in helping people discover
things. Amazon hires 473 “Data Scientists” to study their conversions, and it’s effect on the customer relationship. If they do something look at why.
![Page 51: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Self Discovery = Trusted Content The modern consumers build trust in a new way. They have found the value of the instant access of the internet and placed a high value on self discovery. They even block your ads! Learn how to help aid in their discovery and you will gain their trust.
![Page 52: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Presence!Is the content which consumers create about themselves to
validate the mediated self they are projecting. Simply engaging with this is fulfilling their purpose, and is
helpful, and does not require you to create more content.
![Page 53: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Mediated Persons On average a person has 7.4 social channels, and will be very hard to reach on those channels due to increased competition from their friends, digital ad budgets, and ad blocking software. Mediated relationships require “Frequent and phatic gestures” to build and maintain mediated relationships and so our marketing must evolve as well.
Larry D. Rosen (editor), The Wiley Handbook of Psychology, Technology and Society
![Page 54: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Values of Presence 1) Self Validation (posting) 2) Societal Validation (being liked) 3) Belonging (groups) 4) Reciprocity (the golden rule)
Social Capital is the key to understanding the “Micro Action”. With out it you will not be able to fulfill the persons purpose. By understanding these 4 simple rules you will easily understand what someone purpose is, and how to build stronger relationships.

Holistic Value The switching economy is estimated at $1.7 Trillion dollars. Making it the 10th largest economy in the world, and making churn a major issue we must face. Marketers need to show objective value on holistic marketing efforts and their impact to the happiness of the consumer. This is not best represented by “Share of Wallet” because this puts the impatience on increasing customer spend. CSTAT scores rather place the focus on customer happiness. • B2C: CSAT score • B2B: NPS metric

Weighted pipeline allows you to show a metric which is valued by the business, because it is in dollars expected to come in. It can predict future outcomes, is comparable, and highly accurate. It is a metric which shows objective value!
Objective Value
Weighted Pipeline = Volume x Efficiency x Velocity

How many people don’t make it to the next stage?
![Page 65: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Volume is the total measure of people in a specific stage of the marketing funnel. Such as how many potential leads does marketing currently have in a specific stage.
Volume
To track volume: This is just the total size of the stage of marketing. There are on average 2-3 stages in marketing's control before the leads go to sales.
![Page 66: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Velocity allows you to track the speed of a prospect/buyer thought the stages of the buyers journey. This allows for a holistic measure of the impact on a buyer of all marketing activities, and is a metric which is valued by businesses executives because it helps predict the future outcomes of revenue.
Velocity
To track velocity: Track the entry date, and exit date of people into a stage of your marketing funnel. The average will tell you the velocity of that stage.
![Page 67: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Efficiency Efficiency is the measure of how many prospects/buyers make it from one stage to the next. This allows you to measure and optimize the holistic experience of a buyer in their journey. It is valued by business leads because when combined with velocity it accurately predicts future revenues from marketing activities.
To track Efficiency: Measure the number of people who come in divided into the number of people who make it out. This is the ratio of in/out.

Now take your average size deal and do the math:
(lets assume your average deal is 10k)
Stage Volume Velocity Efficiency WeightedValue
1 100 5days 70% (100x.7)x10,000
2 90 9days 77% (90x.77)x10,000
3 80 10days 88% (80x.88)x10,000
Sales 70 Total$2,097,000

Weighted Pipeline shows:
Predictability: Every 24 Days you produce: 70 leads
Holistic View: All marketing activities even those of Good Will are account for in the measurement. Now if our marketing can increase each stage by 1% we have a 28% lift on the total value of the pipeline.
Objective Value: It puts our marketing in terms of revenue dollars which our business finds on objective value. The increase in any aspect of the pipeline is now translated into revenue.
Business Metrics: These are numbers your board can understand and valuations which help them make better decisions about how to run their business.

The Agile ProofI can write up all the stats in the world, but this simple math example will prove to you that the agile way is faster, better, and repeatable. Even a child can understand the power of agile with this simple proof.
![Page 74: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Step 1: Place your pin on the blue dot. Your goal will be to close your eyes and then draw a straight line to the red dot. Stop when
you get there.
![Page 75: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Your line probably looks like this.

Step 2: Now try again, but feel free to stop when ever you want. Leave your pen on the paper, and open your eyes. Recalibrate, close your eyes then continue to draw your line. Take as many
stops as you want.
![Page 77: Going Beyond the Empowered Buyer: The Next Five Mega Marketing Challenges](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042907/587030e31a28ab81258b6b7f/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Your second line probably looks like this. You reached your goal,
faster, and with less effort. You can stair at the red dot all you want, but agile is the only consistently way to get there.

The Agile ProcessThere are an infinitely growing number of marketing channels which require content. This brings about a new level of content we must produce. The only way to create enough content with a high enough success demands a new foundation on how we execute marketing campaigns. We must learn from other business departments who have faced similar issues.

Review It is good to have comparable metrics, but asking consumers directly is the best feedback you can have on how to improve your experiences. • Was the content you engaged with helpful? • How can it be better? • What was the best thing you’ve found? ASK

Agile Math
What the math represents: FV = Future Value. This score you wish your content will reach in the future. On a scale from 1-10 if you want your score to be perfect this number would be 10, assuming 10 is the highest value.
CV = The current score your content is rated. X = Your x factor, or your ability to iterate on your previous version. i = The number of iterations it will take you to reach the goal
(FV-CV) - ((FV-CV)*X) = i

Multiple CopiesThe days of having only one advertisement to use is long gone. In the days of social and dynamic advertising you can buy multiple variations of the advertisement and split test them all in real time. The systems will automatically then serve up the best preforming content without you lifting a finger. So you can stop arguing on copy and creative and let your consumers pick for you.

John, I noticed an article on Content experience, and thought you might like to give it a look.
John, There is a video in our resource library on Lead nurturing best practices, here’s a link to it. It was recorded with Jay Baer.
John, I’m not sure if you follow this guy on social. But If you’re on Twitter you might want to check out @jaybaer. We’ve just shot a webinar..

A Telephone does it best DO NOT use forms, Surveys, or questionnaires to understand the impact of the content
on the consumer experience. They make the customer experience worse, and you will lose out on your ability to really dig into conversation. Be human, if not there is no way
your content or experiences can be.

Conclusion ( & p r e d i c t i o n )
The future of marketing is vastly different because buyers are different, and the ways we reach them are different. We must make strides to create scalable, sustainable, and valuable marketing systems. The future belongs to those who understand what is possible, why, and use modern media to build trusted relationships and valued experiences. Advertising alone will not get us there!
