| Technology marketing
is under attack on two fronts. On the one hand, the effectiveness
of traditional marketing techniques - such as direct mail and
advertising - is declining. On the other, traditional authorities
in the marketplace (journalists and industry analysts) are having
diminishing impact on buying decisions. Neither of which is helpful
if you're in the business of technology marketing.
Offer a great service? Sell a great product? How will you get
anyone to remember you? And even if they do, how can you get them
to believe what you're saying?
The fact of the matter is that, using traditional marketing techniques,
you can't. Simply throwing more resources at an ever more sophisticated
and sceptical audience is not the answer.
There is a better way. |

""Our
salesforce have increasingly recognised the role of influencers
in their major sales opportunities. In late 2005 we took Influencer50
on to help us identify the most prevalent influencers and we're
now involving our senior management in acting on the Report's
findings. We've high hopes that we'll soon be able to quantify
the benefits it has brought us.""
