Top Quotes from David Shaw:
- “Content marketing is the way sales and marketing should be done.”
- “Sales and marketing should be working together as a single entity.”
- “I would start off by really understanding who your existing customers are, really get to know why they work with you, why they’ve chosen you.” [on getting started with content marketing]
- “Most people make the very big mistake on their websites of thinking that it’s their website, and it’s not; your website belongs to your prospects and your customers—it’s about what they‘re looking to get from it.”
- “You’ve got to be thinking about when somebody lands on that website, what is that information they’re looking for?”
- “That’s the game we’re in today—we’re in the attention game.”
- “If your content is very vanilla, if it sits on the fence, it’s not really saying anything that’s not already been said before necessarily, it’s really not gonna move the needle.”
- “Give people a reason… Why should they join your email list? Why should they follow you on social media?”
