CHANGING ROLE OF SALES AND MARKETING
All of this is changing the role of sales and marketing…
THE LONG LIST
Marketing
Sales
Longlist
Shortlist
Sale !
This is how you used to get on “the shortlist” of buyers…
THAT LONG LIST IS LESS AND LESS INFLUENCED BY MARKETING AND SALES.
So who is influencing that long list today?
Yep…them again…
And these guys…
Listen & answer, company wide
Create content with buyers in mind
Set content free & promote heavily
Help the organization
Tell me something I don’t know!
What should marketing do?
… but we DO trust our PEERS!
Did you know that buyers don’t trust marketing anymore?
ALL EMPLOYEES NEED TO BUILD TRUST…

WHAT’S THE RELATION WITH
EMPLOYER BRANDING?
Stories matter to customers, and future employees
Only real stories make employees proud, and are shared by employees to future employees
That’s your employer brand reaches future employees

Give your employees a voice, a face, and a channel…
LET ME REPEAT THAT…
Because peers connect with peers, remember?
Only real stories …
…are shared by employees
…to future employees.
!ENABLE EMPLOYEES TO HELP TELL YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND STORY
Foundation – “educate people”
New processes – “listen & answer”
Making it real – “the team”
Never finish – Anchor in HR

Co-workers Marketing
Orchestrated & planned Peer to Peer
You’ll need 2 content streams
This is what you often see… “feel good” stuff.
…but only visited by job-seekers
Real nerds, who are not seeking a new job…
…read this stuff…
…attract future employees, when they are not looking for a job
Employees that tell real stories…
BUYING CYCLE VS HIRING CYCLE – ALMOST IDENTICAL
