I had the pleasure to meet with Jessica Mehring at her office in Colorado Springs, CO. Discussing how content writing is important in business. Jessica is the CEO of Horizon Peak consulting. Writing content for enterprise companies to help build relationships within that industry. Writing blogpost, white-papers, e-books, and infographics to build the relationship with their customers. We discuss conversion copywriting within content writing in the purpose of connecting with those ideal customers. Use the content to help answer questions when you are not around, it is a main resource for your customers. Always be sure to know who you are writing you content for, it does not matter how much content you write if it doesn’t hit home with the reader. Why is it important to write Account Based materials. How you are expected to reach your target market within creating content that is easier for them to consume. Enterprise sales is a long game and you need to ensure you are not trying to push a sale within the first touch points. Ensuring that you match your content to your sales cycles. We uncover the importance of personalization within sales and marketing. Personalization comes down to segmentation. What area of businesses should we be focusing on creating the content is it purely just one department? Jessica Mehring helps bridge the gap of making a collaborative content. We highlight some of the common mistakes that people face within content writing. Are you using software to help you understand how effective your content is? This can include split-testing to ensure that your e-mails or specific content to see what the results/outcome would be. We are all inspired by story telling but it does all depend on your target market and the type of content you are producing.

(http://businessleaderspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/050blpbanner.jpg) Jessica Mehring of Horizon Peak Consulting focuses on marketing content and shares her wisdom and insight from working as a copywriter for small and medium businesses and enterprise. She explains that relationship building upfront is an integral part of the profession. She talks about how it helps create a message that’s aligned with the brand and their goal and connects emotionally with the audience. Watch the Episode Here: Listen to the podcast: Jessica Mehring CEO Horizon Peak Consulting, proprietary copywriting methodology helping IT, software and tech companies get measurable results from their marketing content. We’re incredibly fortunate. We have (https://www.horizonpeakconsulting.com/) . Thanks so much for taking time. Jessica, thanks for coming on the show. Tell us a little bit about your business and who you serve. Marketing content for IT, software and tech companies. I work with small and medium businesses and enterprise, which might seem like they have totally different needs, but they have very similar needs when it comes to marketing content and expressing their expertise in a way that aligns with the brand and still connects with the audience. For folks that are going like, “I’m lost,” in an IT company, what would be a prototypical client of yours, without disclosing necessarily who they are? Who would be that customer? I work with a lot of IT services companies, so they’re helping businesses with their IT setups and I write a lot of whitepapers for those folks. Blog posts, some e-books, infographics, guides, everything that helps them explain what they do to their customers in a way that makes sense and connects emotionally and helps them make sales too. I think about the commentary about some of the folks in the tech space. They’re good at what they do, but not necessarily that good communicating. For you, let’s say that I’m in the IT space. I have an app or software as a service and when I reach out to you, what’s the process that you go through to try to help understand and craft the message? We talk. We have very in-depth conversations upfront to make sure we’re aligned on the goals for the company and their goals for the project. A lot of copywriters have set packages and they have spitball rates that they’ll throw at people. I try to have deeper conversations initially to make sure we’re 100% in alignment before a proposal even happens. Why is that? There’s this huge disconnect between these brilliant technicians, these brilliant engineers, developers, founders and their audience. I’m trying to help bridge that gap. There are too many copywriters out there who want to put words on a page and not bridge that gap while they’re at it. If you are not bridging that gap, you’re not helping the company. The company’s wasting money with a copywriter and the copywriters are wasting their time with a customer who’s probably not going to recommend them or be a good case study. I try to have a lot of that relationship building upfront to bridge that gap right away. When you have a client show up and a lot of engineers are, “We have this great solution and we’re trying to take our solution to somebody’s pain point and create a sale.” For you, between the engineer, their product and their potential customer, what does that process look like to you as you’re trying to go through discovery? In discovery, I’m discovering two things. I’m discovering the company and I’m discovering the customer. In discovering the company, I can become a better partner and I can help them meet their business goals because I understand what their business goals are, but most importantly I want to get to know their customers because that’s who we’re speaking to....
