Review by Elizabeth Dahill for Real-Time Marketing for Business Growth: How to Use Social Media, Measure Marketing, and Create a Culture of Execution

I’m a sales executive and who is also responsible for marketing for our business. It’s rare to read a book written by a marketing person who understands what a sales team needs. This book not only explained marketing in a simple but comprehensive way, it lays out a process that integrates sales and marketing and helps teams work together more effectively. It’s given me a new appreciation for marketing where I can see the value of “up front” research and strategy development and how to develop a marketing plan. In the past we developed sales plans by industry and major accounts and our marketing really consisted of a series of marketing tactics or programs that were disconnected somewhat from our company objectives. We now have a much better plan that I’m proud to share with our executive team. We have also just begun implementing the real-time planning process into our quarterly operations meetings and it’s already made a big difference on how we are planning and executing as a team. Next quarter we plan to start using the ROI Optimizer (a tool in the book) to start measuring marketing and sales results through channels and our direct sales team. I haven’t used it yet but it looks like a great tool.

I was looking for a marketing book that would help me reinvent marketing and sales strategies for our organization. I already knew a lot of the basics and was looking for a fresh approach that would help us compete more effectively since our market has changed considerably over the past couple of years. I also needed a book that would guide me through the social media jungle to figure out where I should focus time and money to get the most for our investment. I was not only impressed with the social media advice and recommendations (there is a whole social media strategy and planning guide section) but the entire marketing process that is described as a six step process called PRAISE which stands for Purpose, Research, Analyze, Strategize, Implement, Evaluate and Execute. I think most people (like me) want to go right to lead generation programs like direct mail, email marketing, internet advertising, etc. What I learned from this book was how to create better strategies that would help us find new customers and new markets for our services. By understanding how to make our customer’s experiences more valuable and our services stand out from all our competitors, it was so much easier to develop a plan for the marketing tactics we should use. I also learned several ways to measure our marketing that were new ideas and methods I hadn’t heard of before.
A nice bonus of this book is all the ideas about company culture and how to use culture as part of your marketing strategy. We already have a great company culture but I never really thought about how it was connected to marketing. The information presented on this topic alone is well worth the price of the book. The 10 Culture Rules at the end of the book is full of ideas that wil benefit not only employees but customers as well. Lots of substance in this book.
