Announce Blog
We use a simple two paragraph note with a picture of the author for the human connection element. It’s a great way to introduce the product specialist or executive into the sale digitally.
Webcast Invite
A simple logo lead in with webcast details and a singular call-to-action, in this case it’s a series of complimentary webinars with deep education value.
Follow Up
An example of leveraging a partner’s content to establish domain expertise in a specific solution area.
Plain Text Note
A plain text note letting them know about a new educational piece just released. Personalized from the CEO or thought leader.
Social Invite
An invite to connect on a social platform with the platform clearly identified with its logo. Can also be customized for blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. A great tool for one-to-many conversations via social media.
Video Training
This is a great example of a graphic that contributes to the education that features the company logo, a short description of what they’ll learn and a secondary branding opportunity (video image) within the body.
Marketing Automation
One last thing to note is that with this aligned approach to sales and marketing the majority of these initial campaigns can be seamlessly integrated into an ongoing nurturing drip campaign and automated with a Marketing Automation Platform (we generally leverage Pardot).
