I was left a voicemail earlier this week by a sales rep that I talked to (briefly) about 6 months ago. His message today was, in summary: “Are you ready to engage with us yet?”. Now, not only was I not ready, I barely remember what his company does. That’s because I haven’t had any communication from him or his company in the last 6 months that wasn’t a direct solicitation to do business with the firm.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs.

Guest post by Andy Beohar.

Lesson for leaders. Today’s marketing is becoming obsolete. It comes from yesterday’s world. Its focus is “find, buy, and deliver.”. Now imagine having an invisible 2-way channel inside everything that is done online. When countless products and services become connected, personal customer-vendor relationships will be added. Marketing’s focus will add the new life cycle stages of “install, use, service, and upgrade.”.
