I just got another slap up-side the head

And so the lesson learned?  Actually, there were three.  First, don’t ever get cocky and think you’re above executing all the basic blocking and tackling.  Second, make sure your e-Rep is robust and continuously feeding meaty, valuable text, audio and video content to your constituents out [...]

Post, but first – PLEASE… Think!

Put yourself into the shoes of the decision-maker.  If you can skim through some text, or listen to a short audio or watch a quick video to acquire some chunk of information or garner a bit more insight into some topic, why on earth would you [...]

Seems pretty obvious to me…

Picture this…  A sales assistant who:

Is on-call 24 X 7 X 365
Flawlessly delivers each of your sales messages every time

To anyone
Anywhere
Any time
On demand
As many times as requested

Relentlessly “pulls” prospects into your sphere of influence

When They Google Will You Be There?

I’m not sure ANYTHING could be more obvious.  Before your customer buys, he or she – 100% of the time – will search the internet for information.
If you’re NOT there, you’re NOT part of the decision process.

Could it be any more obvious?

Every sales professional must have an e-Rep for two fundamental reasons:

When a customer or prospect does an internet search, if you’re not there, your competition will be.
Time.  You don’t have enough.  Your customers don’t have enough.  An e-Rep save lots and lots of time.

To reiterate…
100% of the time, customers will search the internet at the [...]

Silver or Electronic?

You tell me…  Is it better to be a silver-tongued devil?  Or an electronic-tongued devil?

Huh? What?

Whenever I use the either of the terms “Content Marketing” or “e-Rep,” I often get that, “Huh? What?” response. On the one hand, that delights me. Intelligent Content Marketing deployed via an e-Rep is quickly emerging as an extremely powerful sales and marketing strategy, and YPS is well-versed in helping folks apply it as part [...]

To win the “Race Against The Machine,” build an e-Rep

The evidence builds.  It becomes more and more clear all the time how computers, networks and “The Cloud” are steadily taking over more and more tasks up to now performed by humans.
And it’s not just mundane, low-skill tasks.  It’s also highly specialized, high knowledge-content work that takes years of study and a ton of experience [...]
