Content is what moves a prospect through the sales pipeline. How do you know what content to create and when to deliver it? On this episode I discuss how to use thought stages to plan inbound marketing efforts. I believe that every sales conversation has the potential to provide valuable information. Tracking and using details such as prospect awareness and pain points helps fine tune content and increases conversions.

Episode Highlights:

  • Uncovering personality and pain points of ideal clients
  • How to learn from a “no”
  • The importance of a call to action
  • How to use immediate feedback
  • Identifying where a prospect is on the spectrum of awareness
  • Using thought stages
