On today's episode, Ami Kassar speaks with Eric Keiles, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Square 2 Marketing, to discuss marketing lessons learned during the pandemic, and what has changed forever. Eric Keiles is a leading sales and marketing strategist focused on pioneering a new marketing methodology. Eric, along with his business partner Mike Lieberman, coined the concept, Reality Marketing™ to describe how businesses can utilize cost effective inbound marketing tactics to achieve dramatic revenue growth. They are leading the revolution in how entrepreneurs change the way they think about marketing their companies. Marketing Sherpa has called the duo “original and contrarian marketers”. Their popular first book, Reality Marketing Revolution is a thesis on the changing world of inbound marketing and the dramatic shift in buyer behavior. It introduces concepts like “The Red & Blue Test”, “Being Remarkable” and the “Cup of Coffee Challenge”. Verne Harnish, The “Growth Guy”, named the book, the “best how-to marketing book ever”. Their second book, Fire Your Sales Team Today, is upsetting the traditional sales department by demonstrating through many real life examples how effective marketing makes the “traditional sales guy” obsolete. It outlines a complete inbound sales process, too. Eric is also the editor of a weekly e-newsletter reaching almost 20,000 business owners and entrepreneurs focusing on this topic. Eric is also the founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Square 2 Marketing. Square 2 Marketing was named the “Inbound Agency of the Year” by HubSpot in 2013 and 2015. A natural entrepreneur himself, Eric has founded and grown eight companies since 1997. Prior to founding Square 2 Marketing, Eric created The Stitches Catalog and The Logo Workshop, two national graphic design and promotional products companies. He is a former franchisee of a national franchise and currently operates a travel and tourism hospitality group in Philadelphia. A popular writer and public speaker, Eric has provided expert insight on panels and speaking appearances throughout America's entrepreneurial community. He also hosts Square 2 Marketing's monthly workshop and webinar series to help business owners learn effective marketing strategies for their businesses. Eric is also a guest lecturer at several universities. A graduate of George Washington University (BA) and Temple University (MBA), Eric and his family reside in Center City Philadelphia.

Often times when marketing and sales refer to the buyer's journey, they use a funnel model, moving prospects down the funnel. In today's society as marketing is touching their buyers in various places, is the funnel still the correct model? An Author, Marketing Leader, and CEO & Chief Revenue Scientist at Square 2, Mike Lieberman, challenges marketing and sales to expand their mindset of the buyer's journey to create memorable experiences for them at each stage. Takeaways: The traditional sales funnel has become obsolete to represent the buyer's journey because it implies that the journey is a linear process with gravity, to move the buyer to the next stage. The only thing moving the buyer from stage to stage is your influence on them. A cyclone model infers there is no gravity to move the buyer to the next stage. There is just a series of influences that could potentially throw a prospect out of a stage, get them to the next stage, or make them skip a stage. Business to business marketing and sales teams deal with business to people. Businesses are made of people and people are afraid of change and the unknown. As marketers we have to make buyers feel comfortable enough to get out of the norm of the status quo. The eight stages of the buyer's journey are pre-awareness, awareness, education, consideration, evaluation, rationalization, decision making, and then delivery. We have to know what questions people are asking at each stage of the buyer's journey, to structure content that answers those questions. Focus on creating amazing experiences for people as they interact with your brand. What can you do to create an inventory of memorable stories for your prospects, your qualified leads, your customers, and then your referrals? Random Acts of Marketing - When marketing tactics are done without strategy. Focus on the strategy first and answer the question, what are you trying to accomplish? Define the goal, and then decide how much of that goal you are trying to reach. If you want to double your revenue, you need to make sure that your marketing is budgeted and scaled at an appropriate level to make this goal possible.

A cyclone is a more accurate depiction because the buyer's journey is not a linear process anymore. We are touching them at all these different touch points which can have the buyer skip to a more advanced stage, or be set back, depending on their experience.

Mike is the co-founder, CEO and Chief Revenue Scientist at Square 2. A professional services company providing marketing, sales strategy and tactical execution for a diverse group of clients. For those who don’t know, Square 2 is HubSpot’s FIRST Diamond Partner, their agency is the only two-time Agency Of The Year award winner. Mike has been providing support to other agencies since 2010 through his company Agencies2Inbound and has helped a number of agencies improve their results, grow their agencies and improve profits. They have a Revenue Growth Methodology which is reshaping how their clients execute sales and marketing.
Mike Lieberman, CEO and Co-Founder, Square 2 Marketing (the first Hubspot Diamond agency), describes his company as a revenue growth agency. Its purpose is to create revenue generation “machines” for its clients that will provide scalable, repeatable, and predictable revenue growth results – starting with attracting website visitors, turning them into leads, and the helping clients convert these leads into new customers. Mike feels that driving revenue growth is far more complicated and complex than it's ever been before, Key to the process is the idea of, “How are we going to create an amazingly remarkable experience for our prospects?” and “How do we continue that experience?” He uses Disney's “Experience Mapping” in describing a better (more remarkable) form of customer “sales experience.” A remarkable sales experience starts when 90% of the initial conversation is about the customer. “What's going on in your business? What brings you here today? Tell me what's going on. What's working? What's not working? Why marketing? Tell us what you're thinking.” Asking a lot of questions is the only way the sales team will know enough about the client to be helpful. Mike believes that, when you ask people about themselves, “magical” things happen – they like talking about themselves and get comfortable. You have to give them the chance to feel safe with you – a nervous or uncertain client is more likely to balk at going forward. Mike notes that people buy emotionally first . . . and then later rationalize the decision. The key things that make someone feel safe are that they have to feel that they know, like and trust you. Marketing today in a complicated mesh of strategy, tactics, technology, and analytics. Mike feels that many companies, large and small, “miss” because they fail to have a compelling message. He references Seth Godin, a savvy marketer who says your business has to be remarkable . . . as does your message. “Me, too” or vague and generic messages fail to communicate product and company strengths. Mike is looking forward to more HubSpot add-on technology services and has developed a piece of comprehensive artificial intelligence software that scoops up date from HubSpot and Google Analytics (and other eventually other data-generating software), and then analyzes and synthesizes the data to provide insights and make recommendations. MaxG at maxg.ai is promoted as “the First AI-Powered B2B Marketing And Sales Insight And Recommendation Engine.” Agencies can sign up for pre-launch access on the maxg.ai website.
