Traditionally, sales professionals are told to follow the ABC model, but this model is broken. Dan Tyre shares why at the 2017 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference, and today we’re bringing you the highlights from\u00a0his keynote.<\/p>\nTraditionally, sales professionals are told to follow the ABC model, but this model is broken.

Dan knows how to help a business succeed. He has worked with five start-ups since 1983, and he is employee #6 at HubSpot. His motto is “Trying to do the most good for The Universe.” (He actually borrowed that from his son.<\/em>)<\/p>\n It\u2019s a great time to be a marketer. Historically, marketers have been in the doghouse. You either don\u2019t generate enough leads or you bring in more leads than a business knows what to do with, so\u00a0either way, marketing ends up in the doghouse.<\/p>\n Let’s Talk Trust<\/span><\/p>\n Turns out, as a whole, we haven\u2019t done a great job yet. When we went out and asked people about trust<\/a> and relationship-building, we found that salespeople and marketers are trusted by 1% and 0% of people, respectively. Ouch!<\/p>\n Honestly, we found that people trust their barista<\/em> more than a marketer or salesperson. They\u2019re buying a $5 coffee from their barista, but they\u2019re likely purchasing a much higher ticketed item from their marketer or salesperson, yet they trust their barista more. (Interesting note: The most trusted profession in America today?\u00a0Firefighter.<\/em>)<\/p>\n The Future is Now<\/span><\/p>\n There’s a huge difference over\u00a0the last 10 years. It\u2019s harder today. There\u2019s much more competition and the future is happening now<\/em>. Back in the day, starting the company was the hardest part. We had offices, we used to work 9-to-5. Now we look at our phones about 200 times a day.<\/p>\n The key for businesses today: You want to formulate deep relationships. Build up trust. It\u2019s not a transactional relationship anymore.<\/p>\n Outbound is sales-oriented, not personalized. And conversion is about 2%.<\/p>\n Outbound Marketing Strategies<\/span><\/p>\n Inbound Marketing Strategies<\/span><\/p>\n There’s more competition now because it\u2019s much less expensive to start a business today. And consumers are less tolerant now and they have less patience. The human race, in general, just has an all-time low supply of patience \u2013 which means that the jobs of salespeople and marketers are\u00a0harder than ever before.<\/p>\n Stages of Buying (Decision-Making)<\/span><\/p>\n Buyers want to connect with sales during the consideration phase. (Only 2% buy the first time they come to your website.) But at it’s core, inbound is about building relationships with your audience by providing them with value way before they are ready to purchase your products\/services<\/em>.<\/p>\n Still using ABC? Today\u00a0Use\u00a0ABH!!<\/span><\/p>\n The Always Be Closing marketing\/sales model is dead. It has been replaced by Always Be HELPING.<\/p>\nThe Inbound Revolution is Here \u2013 Are You Ready?<\/h2>\n
