Sales and marketing teams? Sometimes, they clash like siblings, which tends to hold companies back from hitting their goals. Getting every single seller in the company to have that CEO-level drive? That's a whole other challenge.Is there a way to tackle both of these sales challenges with one simple move? My guest, Garrett Mehrguth, sales and marketing expert and founder of Directive, says yes. He's here to break down how getting sales and marketing on the same page can actually empower individual sellers to think and act like the CEO. Tune in to hear how this alignment can make some serious magic happen.Meet Garrett MehrguthGarrett Mehrguth founded Directive in 2013, which is the largest independent B2B performance marketing agency in the world. Today, Directive boasts a diverse team of more than 130 professionals, located around the world, including the USA, LATAM, Canada, and London, servicing brands like Dropbox, Wiz, AWS, and Gong.He believes true company growth only happens through sales and marketing team collaboration. When both teams ask questions and follow up, they can start thinking outside the box to find leads and close deals.Collaboration FoundationWhat's the first step to get sales and marketing teams working together? Garrett says sellers need to start attending the weekly marketing meetings.Don't just say you need to spend more time cold-calling to meet quota; the meeting may help you learn how to perform better with inbound sales and develop solution-selling skills.Not only do you have to understand your product, but you also have to understand your customer and articulate the product's value to them.Sellers who attend the marketing meeting will be able to bridge the gap between how both teams convey value to leads in their messages.Paid Social vs. Search in the AI WorldGarrett suggests considering paid search as someone in marketing and paid social as someone in sales to understand the difference.He also shares how sales reps tend to believe that paid search ads are better due to their win rates. However, you could probably become the seller of the year by learning how to do more value and solution selling from outbound and paid social methods.Sales & Marketing Account-Based SellingGarrett built his business based on sales and marketing teams using the same account list. Six years ago, with 10,000 accounts to reach, he directed his sales and marketing teams to use account-based selling.He shares why he is so passionate about this sales method and why sellers do themselves a disservice by not being obsessed with the product.“You should know the product better than anyone. The second you become the most obsessed person with the product is the second you get promoted, and the second you start hitting quota.” - Garrett Mehrguth.ResourcesConnect with Garrett on LinkedIn.Learn more about his company at Directive Consulting.

On this episode, I talk about not segregating out organic and paid social, and really having a more holistic approach to your social media strategy. NOTe:The social media landscape has evolved significantly, and platform algorithms no longer distribute organic content the way they once did.Organic reach continues to decline across platforms as algorithms prioritize content from personal connections and paid placements.Relying solely on organic data does not paint the full picture, as many posts don't reach a significant portion of our audience without paid support.To accurately assess performance and make strategic decisions, it's essential to analyze organic and paid metrics together.

Wir heben die Bedeutung von gezielten Google- und Native Advertising-Maßnahmen hervor, um Produkte wie Kabelbäume oder Scheibenenteiser effektiv zu bewerben. Die richtige Keyword-Identifikation und eine klare Positionierung gegen Konkurrenten sind entscheidend, um eine solide Grundlage zu schaffen.

She emphasizes the value of mentorship, data-driven decision-making, and the challenges faced with top-of-funnel PPC strategies. She highlights the advantages for beginners of being a “t-shaped marketer,” advocating for a blend of broad knowledge of all platforms with deeper specializations. The episode also explores the impact of AI on digital marketing and the evolving role of paid media professionals. Episode Highlights: Sophie built a successful career in PPC and paid media without a formal university degree. She started by managing Facebook posts for a startup and developed her skills through hands-on experience, emphasizing that practical knowledge often outweighs formal education in the marketing industry.Sophie views mentorship as a collaborative relationship built on trust and mutual respect. She credits her mentor, Kevin Ashley, for shaping her career and now mentors others within and outside of her agency, focusing on helping mentees define and achieve their goals.Sophie and Danny share in the belief in the advantages of being a “t-shaped marketer,” possessing a broad understanding across all platforms while having deeper expertise in one or two specific areas as they begin to align with career aspirations. Sophie highlights the critical role of data analysis and optimization in PPC, especially for beginners in the industry. While learning platform UIs is straightforward, understanding metrics, making data-driven decisions, and translating those insights into actions are what set top professionals apart.Many brands fail with top-of-funnel Google Ads campaigns because they focus on the wrong metrics, like direct conversions. Sophie advocates for redefining KPIs to measure engagement and awareness, which can better justify top-of-funnel strategies.Episode Links: Sophie's LinkedInSophie's XSophie's Book: Follow The Digital Marketing Mentor: Website and Blog: thedmmentor.com Instagram: @thedmmentor Linkedin: @thedmmentor YouTube: @thedmmentor Interested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

Get ready to get marketing!Episode Highlights: Mandy emphasized that AI is a valuable tool but must be used in alignment with Google's EEAT guidelines. Content created at scale using AI can lead to a dramatic drop in traffic if it prioritizes search rankings over user experience and relevance, as seen with Client X.Taking the approach of targeting every possible keyword, even those that are irrelevant, and producing low-quality content are both harmful tactics for a website's long-term performance. These strategies were especially detrimental for a business in the medical field, where establishing trustworthiness is essential. Unqualified traffic results in users quickly exiting the site, signaling to Google that the content is irrelevant, leading to drops in rankings and overall site performance. The conversation highlighted that duplicating content, especially using AI, dilutes SEO value and confuses Google about which pages to rank. For Client X, this led to non-indexed pages, poor rankings, and irrelevant traffic, showing the importance of targeting the right keywords and maintaining content quality.The solution lies in a thorough content and technical audit, focusing on removing irrelevant content, resolving duplication, and optimizing for qualified traffic. By following these best practices, the client could see improvements in traffic and conversions over time.Episode Links: Mandy's LinkedInAnother TDMM episode with MandyOptidge blog on this case studyFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor: Website and Blog: thedmmentor.com Instagram: @thedmmentor Linkedin: @thedmmentor YouTube: @thedmmentor Interested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

Get ready to get marketing!Episode Highlights: Despite Alejandro's initial disinterest in digital marketing in college, his path led him back, allowing him to apply his practical knowledge in finance and management to his current role on the Optidge PPC team. Alejandro initially heard about an innovative, data-tracking PPC tool, Dataslayer, from another department at Optidge and began testing the tool to see how its capabilities might help handle the headache of tracking PPC campaign spending. Dataslayer and the custom solution put together by Alejandro and the team can now accurately monitor the spending habits of multiple campaigns at once and notify the PPC team when they're under or overspending (with special thanks to color coding).Episode Links:Alejandro's LinkedInDataslayer Optidge PPC Services Follow The Digital Marketing Mentor: Website and Blog: thedmmentor.com Instagram: @thedmmentor Linkedin: @thedmmentor YouTube: @thedmmentor Interested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?
