A1 – My favorite definition comes from Forrester: #CX is “how customers perceive their interactions with your company” #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A1 CX is the sum of experience anyone has with a brand. Content can further it by giving them more reasons to connect/relate #CMWorld

A1: #CE is how people experience your brand, every touch, every time. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A1: CX is every interaction the customer has with – or in relation to – your brand #cmworld
@ardath421
@CMIContent A1: The total impact made on a customer’s impression from a series of touch points. Content is one great touch point. #cmworld
@bluekaboom
A1: Integrating content in all touch points with a business to improve the overall experience and drive profitable customer action #CMWorld
@MaelRoth

@CTrappe
What we call CX, they call life. #cmworld

@AndreaMLehr
A1: Relatable content influences customer loyalty #CMWorld
@connieurway

@JessicaKohlFIT
A1: if customers find the content relatable and it solves a problem or provides a nifty solution they will likely come back! #CMWorld
@aford21
If the content fails there really isn’t an experience at all. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
There are two keys to CX – empathy and curiosity…do you care about them? AND what are you willing to do to show them? #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@JessicaKohlFIT @CMIContent Nice! #CMWorld

@Mr_McFly
Boom. Yes, you are. “@MaelRoth: @CTrappe hey my favorite Düsseldorfer Content Marketer is here as well! 😀 #CMWorld”
@CTrappe
A1: Cust. Exp. also involves how the reader interacts with your content #CMWorld
@SueBrady

@mikemyers614
Content as an experience: another great definition here @ #CMWorld https://twitter.com/ardath421/status/608304951073341440
@MaelRoth
@Mr_McFly absolutely. We need to make them stay. A happy and satisfied customer is not enough. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
Our goal as marketers is to not be marketers. Let’s be human. And if we can’t be human, let’s be hedgehogs. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
Exactly! #cmworld https://twitter.com/mikemyers614/status/608305249032540161

@AndreaMLehr
@Mr_McFly a GREAT #CX, a person will buy, stay and tell others! 🙂 #CMWorld
@jeanbrunetHFX
A2: Simple 🙂 Make sure content is relevant to them – your content can’t speak to everyone so focus is key #cmworld
@ardath421
A2: What does a customer expect from your content? Information? Entertainment? Direction? Serve them!#CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
#CX starts with brands wanting to become customer-centric. #cmworld

@CMIContent
A2 #Brands can use #content to deliver on consumer expectations. What do they want, need? #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A2: Content can help set expectations – like if you are communicating about your shipping process for instance #CMWorld
@SueBrady
I prefer to treat my customers like community members. #CMWorld
@CTrappe
A1) Customer experience is everything. Great content can be a multiplier but will fall flat if the customer experience is poor! #CMWorld
@ideakid88
@CMIContent A2: Answer their questions. Clear up confusion. Show them a new or better way to use your product. #CMWorld
@webmastergirl
@lindadessau We’re working on our new site design. Content display is constantly on our mind. Asking ourselves why there? why this? #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
A2: EIU research found 75% biz execs want content that speaks to a business idea, not a purchase decision #cmworld
@ardath421
@CrowdContent Awesome questions! #cmworld
@lindadessau
A2 – start with social listening. Then engagement. What do customers want? Then, craft your content to meet that need. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A2 – it’s all about meeting the need. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris

@AngelaTuminello
A2 Create content that is useful to your consumers–it will elevate their interaction with your brand #CMWorld
@AndreaMLehr
A2: Use content to add value to the experience of being a customer – provide great, useful content #CMworld

A2 **selflessly** educate & entertain @CMIContent #CMWorld
@JessicaKohlFIT
A2: Content customers can use, identify and relate to #CMWorld
@connieurway
A2) Great content is content that matches the user’s expectation. Keep it relevant & clear. Great customer experience will follow. #CMWorld
@spyder_trap
@AndreaMLehr You’re absolutely right. what’s useful to them. Not what you think is useful. Ask them. Voice of customer is VITAL. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@CMIContent A1 @CMIContent The most important tool of Twitter is staying informed. It’s intertwined w/customer service #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
@ardath421 that’s very interesting. Does this stat mirror what the customer wants?#CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
@JessicaKohlFIT something so many unfortunately forget #CMWorld
@CMIContent
A2. Content should solve problems, or at least entertain. Ideally it should do both! #CMWorld
@UnionMetrics
A2 It’s important to map customer touchpts with journey and connect that with content. #cmworld

A3 – I said earlier that #CX requires brands to be customer-centric, knowing this, brands also know the customer owns the brand #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A3 Absolutely – customer experience should be the focal point. The experience (even more than the product) can bring them back #cmworld

@CMIContent 1000%. Consistent consideration for customer experience is what gets customers TO the advocacy part. #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
@AngelaTuminello Agree. Too much focus on acquisition. It costs 6 x’s as much to acquire than retain customer. Retain, baby, Retain #cmworld

We focus more on customer detainment. A captive audience. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
A4: Don’t make your Customers work for content that helps you sell your wares. #gatedcanbebad #cmworld
@SueBrady
A4: bounce rate & non-completion is a good indicator. Always A/B test and test with segments (too tactical? ^^) #CMWorld
@MaelRoth
@lifeofaworkgirl Yes, if you have a similar product/price to a competitor but superior experience, you’ll keep the business! #CMWorld
@SparkerWorks
A4 Gated content should provide additional value to highly targeted consumers while ungated content should reach a wider audience #CMWorld
@AndreaMLehr
I agree wholeheartedly @Mr_McFly intangibility s/b a necessity, but not always influences customer buy-in #CMWorld
@connieurway
Please do not gate content at top of the funnel, folks — that’s not the place. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A3: Customer “needs” are often *not* pretty. Leaders within orgs have to endorse the content that addresses the tough stuff. #cmworld
@goldasich
@AngelaTuminello By then it might be too late. Cost of acquiring a new customer is 6 to 7 times more than keeping existing ones. #CMWorld
@ideakid88
(Jumping in!) A4: It’s important to prove yourself as a SME in your field before asking people to exchange info for content. #cmworld
@iamgiarose
A4: To gate or not to gate…it’s a strategic decision that deserves much attention and deliberation. #plancarefully #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A3: We think it works both ways, sometimes it starts with advocacy and goes back to brand awareness #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608306819979579393
@ExpoStars
@AnneJanzer Yes! Content producers should work with customer support/cust experience to id pain points & address them #CMWorld
@SparkerWorks
@SusynEliseDuris I’m starting to think it should be either ungated or subscribed – as few gates as possible #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
Yes yes yes. #cmworld http://twitter.com/SusynEliseDuris/status/608308894335696896
@iamgiarose
A4 I think most people gate content for leads, but are the people registering for your content a lead? #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A4 We spend a lot of time creating content ‘appetizers’ leading to the main dish (gated assets). Delicious but not too filling! #CMWorld
@AngelaTuminello
@connieurway @CMIContent doing well thanks! Glad to hear you’re great #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
@connieurway hmm… while very few things are 100%, I’d believe #CX influences buy-in more often than not. :-)#CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
Yes! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/MaelRoth/status/608308713473097728
@ideakid88
Good question #CMWorld https://twitter.com/SusynEliseDuris/status/608309124250673152
@CMIContent
I once had a client that insisted we gate his entire blog. Surprisingly, after six-months, he asked us disable it. #cmworld

@connieurway
@MaelRoth @SusynEliseDuris Do they want lead quantity or lead quality? That’s the question. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
I’d rather focus on better targeting of my content, than gate content… #cmworld
@LUCYrk78
A4 con’t: Furthermore, consider the info you’re asking for. Mid funnel? Name & email only. Lower funnel? Ask for the phone #. #cmworld

@AnneJanzer
@iamgiarose Exactly right. But also, leads are more qualified AFTER they’ve engaged with your content. #CMWorld
@martinlieberman
@martinlieberman Smart. Not that you didn’t gate it, but that you decided not to do it. Most don’t think enough about it. #CMWorld

@CMIContent They may or may not be a lead; analytics can inform this. And, either way, they o/w are in the community of your leads. #cmworld
@njh287
A4) If you’re going to have gated content, there needs to be a good goal behind it and the users should have clear expectations. #CMWorld

A4: Need to consider value exchange for gated. Does your audience see the value? What will you get that you can use? #cmworld
@ardath421
@ardath421 @SusynEliseDuris @Mr_McFly Now there is a new silo forming – who owns customer? CX? Marketing? Sales? #cmworld

@AndreaMLehr And overselling in content! #CMWorld
@SueBrady
A5: Stop putting forms in front of everything. Trust in the content & the consumer. If it’s good content, I’m coming back. #cmworld
@iamgiarose
A5: Speak more globally and not at customers #CMWorld
@connieurway
A5: Improve segmentation and associated relevance of content – match to context #cmworld
@ardath421
Sometimes the difference between gated/ungated content is simple modifications such as presentation or delivery. #cmworld
@CrowdContent
A5: Also creating content for the sake of creating content (usually not good). #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A5) Leap to sales tactics before providing enough value or nurturing. #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
A5 Being “too busy.” I.e. Not responding fast enough, only responding to the “big guys,” putting out YOUR content not our consumers #cmworld
@LUCYrk78
A5: Your content should have clear goals and a strategy attached. #CMWorld
@SueBrady
A5 And providing content for the sake of content–it should be compelling and have value, otherwise it’s white noise #CMWorld
@AndreaMLehr
A5: No more I download a white paper and sales follows up with demo offer – Just Stop It! #cmworld
@ardath421
Less volume for volume’s sake. Simplify to amplify. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
A5 – It comes back to perceived need. Are we meeting it with content? Based on surveys I have seen, the answer is NO. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A5 Producing content for audiences en masse. We need to think more one to one. #CMWorld
@martinlieberman
@ardath421 Yes! Or a creepy call five minutes later! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A5) Stop the “I see that you’re looking to leave the page” pop-ups. Stop pop-ups. #CMWorld
@spyder_trap
A5) Overzealous email cadence. I said I like you… don’t try to put a ring on it. 🙂 #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
A5. Better use of UX design, better CTA design, incorporate more graphics. There are so many to list #CMWorld
@BeantownReview
A5) (for real) Get rid of sales clutter on their websites. Stop asking before giving. Make CE as frictionless as possible. #CMWorld
@ideakid88
Great point Martin! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/martinlieberman/status/608310692920311808
@LUCYrk78

@JennyMBurns
Q5 @CMIContent wear more orange #cmworld
@BrianKolb
@CMIContent A3. Promote the premium content across all social media. Only Gate downloads. Non-gated content=Greater Experience #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
#brillant #CMWorld https://twitter.com/ChristinKardos/status/608310786985984001
@connieurway
@CMIContent A5. Too much content about our branded products. Have more helpful and engaging content. #CMWorld
@jeanbrunetHFX
@lindadessau @MaelRoth @CMIContent Amen to that! #CMWorld
@martinlieberman
A5 Step into audience shoes before publishing. Find and present the value, skip the fluff… even the really pretty fluff. #CMWorld
@AngelaTuminello
A5: Being too self-promotional. “Look at me, look at me” rather than “How can we make your life easier, dear customer?” #CMWorld
@webmastergirl
@ardath421 Albee that is the quote of the day, LOVE IT and couldn’t agree more! Stop selling me after I download your content! #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@ChristinKardos thanks for the Beyoncé ear worm…. #cmworld
@jgombita
Focus! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/martinlieberman/status/608310692920311808
@CMIContent
A5: Assuming they know what the customer wants. Let’s try speaking to them in a meaningful way! #cmworld
@BuyerSynthesis
@AndreaMLehr Ha! You must be smart 🙂 #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A5: Making a sales call right after you download gated content that’s top-of-the-funnel! #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
@jgombita Haha!! Sorry(ish). 🙂 #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
@CMIContent I could also add: stop being creepy with tracking. “We’ve seen you visited our page repeatedly in the last few weeks”^^ #CMWorld
@MaelRoth
A5: Stop selling to leads that aren’t leads. Just because I downloaded your WP doesn’t mean I’m ready to sign on the dotted line. #cmworld
@iamgiarose
Yesssssss! #CMWorld #TeamOrange https://twitter.com/BrianKolb/status/608310901079302144
@CMIContent
Definitely! I’m not even sure I want to have dinner yet…the drinks and brief chat were just fine 🙂 #CMWorld https://twitter.com/christinkardos/status/608310786985984001
@ActualKats
@mikemyers614 @ardath421 Did test that for a client (call with 30 mins); didn’t work but the creepy factor didn’t come up on calls #CMWorld
@SueBrady
A5 – also we have to engage more – and it starts with employee engagement. Engage customers = retained customers = brand advocates! #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@CMIContent A3) Absolutely. The greater the customer experience, the greater chance that they will become brand advocates #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
@ardath421 @SusynEliseDuris BREAK THE SILOS DOOOOOOOOWWWWN! Sorry, I had to do it. #CMWorld http://t.co/6jCElWwMMi
@Mr_McFly
A simple thing to do that’s often overlooked! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/lindadessau/status/608310169332760576
@UnionMetrics
Creepy calling is the future of marketing! @mikemyers614 @ardath421 Yes! Or a creepy call five minutes later! #CMWorld
@BrandedCartoons
@MaelRoth yea that is pretty creepy #cmworld
@CMIContent
A5 Quantity over quality. Content should be relevant to the audience & well produced. #cmworld

@NealCranna
A5: Sounds like we need to set expectations with our sales team partners (1 open does not a hot lead make) #cmworld
@goldasich
@BrandedCartoons @ardath421 Please tell me you’re kidding! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@ChristinKardos I wonder if she is sorry(ish) about the BIG I’M A VEGAN announcement (that backfired)?! #cmworld
@jgombita
@ardath421 SO annoying! #CMWorld
@carmenhill
A5) Talking (output) when listening should be done. Be still… you might hear what I’m saying I want. #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
I’m thinking more like 350 words, but I get your point 🙂 @JennyMBurns @CMIContent #CMWorld
@BeantownReview
@webmastergirl Agreed! #cmworld
@BuyerSynthesis
A5 – Also, take Voice of the Customer (#VoC) seriously. Feedback should be at every touchpt and do something with the feedback! #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
What could be tweaked? Less regurgitating what one another is saying. Headline tag, you know?! Original makes CX so much nicer. #cmworld
@CrowdContent
@AnneJanzer @SusynEliseDuris @ardath421 everyone has to work together for optimal effect. #ChangeTheBizWorld#CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
I’m always kidding. Haven’t you learned that by now? @mikemyers614 @BrandedCartoons @ardath421 Please tell me you’re kidding! #CMWorld
@BrandedCartoons
A5 Continuously publishing & not engaging. Audiences want more from a brand than auto published content #cmworld
@lifeofaworkgirl
A6: Best metric for customer satisfaction = repeat business. #cmworld
@goldasich
THIS my point earlier #CMWorld https://twitter.com/goldasich/status/608311318865707008
@connieurway
A6) Repeat business and traceable referrals are the best. I’ll come back and/or tell a friend if you nailed it. #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
A6: We measure brand health and total unaided brand awareness…but nothing is better than simply asking every once in a while. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Gr8 point! @AngelaTuminello: We spend a lot of time creating content ‘appetizers’ leading to the main dish (gated assets). #CMWorld
@Mahi2weets
Absolutely! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/goldasich/status/608311544204693504
@CMIContent
@MaelRoth hate when I dwnld a piece of content & then suddenly get every email blast possible if its related to what I want or not! #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
@BrandedCartoons @ardath421 I’ve actually come to rely on it. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Add some blue to this mix and you got yourself a Florida Gator. @CMIContent #CMWorld
@BeantownReview
@SusynEliseDuris Every time I send a @FreshBooks email they ask if I also want to ask the customer how we’re doing #cmworld
@lindadessau
CX starts with Net Promoter score (NPS) – “how likely are you to recommend our brand to your friends, family and associates” #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A6 Social shares is huge, especially when I look at my guest posts–high social traction means readers found value! #CMWorld
@AndreaMLehr
A5 Literally 5 secs into reading your blog & I’m asked to subscribe… Give me a minute to finish reading first! #cmworld
@lifeofaworkgirl
@BrandedCartoons @ardath421 @mikemyers614 Let’s hope they don’t start using follow-up drones instead of calls #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
Sales enablement needs more attention @goldasich: A5: Sounds like we need to set expectations with our sales team partners #cmworld

Q5 Whatever we need to tweak, we all need better integration; that’s what drives the experience #CMWorld #eventprofs https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608309835809976320
@ExpoStars
@AndreaMLehr Agree. I like to look at this along with bounce rate. Are they just sharing or are they actually reading, too? #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
A6: Simple, centralized standards to access customer feedback #CMWorld
@connieurway
@ardath421 Indeed. We’re finding that, big time with our clients. VERY large chasm between sales and marketing. #cmworld
goldasich
A6: Heatmaps & behavior. Are they clicking back instead of filling out my form? Maybe the content isn’t valuable enough for my info #cmworld
@iamgiarose
@mikemyers614 exactly! Get your head out of analytics and pick up the freakin’ phone. #ThingsDataDoesntTellYou #CMWorld
@MaelRoth
It’s like going to a bar & someone shoving their phone number in your face “Excuse me, do I know you?” :-)#CMWorld https://twitter.com/lifeofaworkgirl/status/608311790301245442
@Mr_McFly
A5: Target a specific audience and focus on them rather than trying to “win social media” by having the most followers #CMWorld
@SMDGNWI
but don’t put all your eggs in the NPS basket because the truth is NPS can be a dead metric – you have to be careful with surveys. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A6 Key words that are associated with the brand. Gauge whether the majority of customers are happy or not #cmworld
@lifeofaworkgirl
@MaelRoth yes! Need to remember to create ‘relationship’ no one likes a pushy or needy partner! #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
@Mr_McFly @lifeofaworkgirl best analogy! #CMWorld
@CMIContent
Not one fair customer has been acquired via survey alone…That was my attempt at a Shakesperian thing #CMWorld https://twitter.com/SusynEliseDuris/status/608312195194232832
@Mr_McFly
Got to leave this one a little bit early! Really happy to join in again – catch you all next week! #cmworld
@lifeofaworkgirl
What is NPS? MT @SusynEliseDuris: NPS can be a dead metric – you have to be careful with surveys. #cmworld
@lindadessau
brands must perform Win-Loss Analysis – it’s not about sales won or lost but perceptions they have , use insights to improve #CX. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
Putting these on your site makes a huge difference! No longer guessing where ppl click/can make changes #CMWorld https://twitter.com/iamgiarose/status/608312101061464064
@SparkerWorks
@lindadessau @SusynEliseDuris NPS = net promoter score #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A6) Customer retention and growth plus my all-time favourite: increasing sales. http://gph.is/179Ipet?tc=1 via @giphy #CMWorld
@ideakid88
A6: Patterns of engagement – are they productive, demonstrate intent – or random? #cmworld
@ardath421
A5: Donuts. Lots and lots of donuts. #cmworld
@WALToONs
So, so true. #cmworld http://twitter.com/SusynEliseDuris/status/608308894335696896
@lizdaponte
A6: also share of account – how many of the buying committee or user team are interacting with your content? #cmworld
@ardath421
Um can @CMIContent can #cmworld handle @JohnCleese and me at the same time?
@BrianKolb
Other metrics – calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), conducting surveys around events/touchpts (focus on voice of customer) #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
and track retention rates… #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A6 Yes, @lifeofaworkgirl Sentiment analysis across social channels #CMWorld https://twitter.com/lifeofaworkgirl/status/608312298407661568
@AngelaTuminello
A6: Does anyone use Economic Value to the Customer (EVC), as in this HBR article http://ow.ly/O5pAq #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
A7: The deeper in the funnel, the more personal content can become. Email content can get more casual, more deliberate, etc. #cmworld
@goldasich
A7: Absolutely – goes to journey and buying process – pre-sales is different context than evaluation for example #cmworld
@ardath421
@lindadessau @SusynEliseDuris Linda, It’s a measure of how likely people are to recommend you to others http://www.netpromoter.com/why-net-promoter/know #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@AnneJanzer Definitely had some negative experiences just like this. #CMWorld
@UXcelsior
A7: The experience should naturally grow over time for the customer. Find ways to give them what they didn’t even know they wanted #CMWorld

@ppawlus
@lindadessau it’s about someone’s willingness to promote your brand. Scale of 0-10. 9-10 promoters, 7-8 passives, 0-6 detractors #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A7: Deeper funnel content also addresses the buyer’s need to justify the sale internally. #cmworld
@goldasich
@mikemyers614 @lindadessau @SusynEliseDuris Ah, sounds like a very good thing, but I can see how could be easily skewed like Klout #cmworld
@lindadessau
Acknowledge the experiential value of content instead of its functionality. Worry about formats & emotions. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608312880321019904
@MaelRoth
@SusynEliseDuris Thanks! #cmworld
@lindadessau
A7: IMO Customer experience s/b looked at globally… the whole picture #CMWorld and adapt content up the funnel
@connieurway
@lindadessau @mikemyers614 @SusynEliseDuris wait, Klout can be skewed? 🙂 #cmworld
@CMIContent
A7 CX shouldn’t vary in terms of content quality, but responding to what they want to see and creating that content is essential #CMWorld
@AndreaMLehr
A7: The experience should always be a good, but adapt content to its intent, e.g. persuade vs inform #cmworld http://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608312880321019904
@BuyerSynthesis
A7: Customer experiences should change every time their expectations do. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A6 cust. exp should change in what you provide to help with where they are in their journey but message and values need consistency #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
A7 – Yes – it depends on what phase you are in the buyer journey – top/middle/bottom of funnel… #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
Customer experience should be great in all parts of the funnel. #cmworld
@CTrappe
A7: It’s about story telling and angles. The same content can capture those just discovering your brand and loyal customers alike. #CMWorld
@SMDGNWI
This #CMWorld https://twitter.com/mikemyers614/status/608313615763046400
@CMIContent
A7: Of course, if you treated someone the same way every time you saw them you’d never develop a friendship. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
@CMIContent @lindadessau @SusynEliseDuris Yeah, nothing is perfect (except maybe Ohio State football). #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A7: Yes. CX should be appropo for where a customer is in the funnel #CMWorld
@SueBrady
@CMIContent Could it depend on other behaviors? OR 2nd download email touch time or prompt for newsletter sub. 3rd visit, call. #CMWorld
@UXcelsior
@CMIContent @lindadessau @mikemyers614 Ah, she made a funny! #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@CMIContent A4. Great question Sue. Personally, I doubt that they are qualified leads. Just people who want the whitepaper. #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
A7: Absolutely! There should be conversations, higher trust & in-depth pain point solutions further down the funnel. #cmworld
@iamgiarose
Hey @mikemyers614, do you need this? #CMWorld @LUCYrk78 loves the GIF 🙂 http://t.co/KsaTvdZwvr
@Mr_McFly
A7 every relationship lasting any amount of time will naturally deepen the more each party gets to know one another- no dif here #CMWorld
@LUCYrk78
@goldasich Was trying to put that into words. You nailed it. It’s like building a friendship. More casual as it progresses. #cmworld
@CrowdContent
But the last thing you should do is tell a customer in your funnel that they are in your funnel. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
THIS MT @kkopacz1: @CMIContent A4. Great question Sue. Personally, I doubt that they are qualified leads. Just want white paper #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
Amen and Awomen to this! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/mikemyers614/status/608313615763046400
@ideakid88

@mikemyers614
@Mr_McFly @mikemyers614 it’s my FAVE. #CMWorld (even tho I hate HIM)
@LUCYrk78
A7: Plus, consumers should see an increase in their info requested from brands the further down the funnel they are. #cmworld
@iamgiarose
@BrandedCartoons So many good analogies in #CMWorld today!
@BuyerSynthesis
A7 – there is element of consistency across touch pts – which is core brand messages must be the same otherwise there is confusion #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@njh287 @CMIContent I agree. Only analytics can inform us. Are there any statistics as to what % on avg. turn into qualified leads? #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
Q7: Definitely. In live marketing adapt both content and approach. Rule #1 Personalise #CMWorld #tradeshows https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608312880321019904
@ExpoStars
A7 Customers don’t worry too much about their CX until they have a bad one. Focus on creating good CX but also fixing the potholes #CMWorld
@AngelaTuminello
A7. The customer experience in that moment should be unique, but never deviate from message & level of #CX. #CMWorld
@UXcelsior
@MENGonline Had a great conversation with Greg Gaines yesterday, btw. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A8 the more personal brands are able to make their content the better- when I read it and think “whoa. That’s SO me!” #CMWorld
@LUCYrk78
@AngelaTuminello which starts well before interactions with customers. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@CMIContent I enjoyed the follow up messages I got after I purchased @sugru – very good customer experience #cmworld
@lindadessau
@LUCYrk78 the reaction we all want! #cmworld
@CMIContent
A8. For me the best #cx happens when a company recognizes what they’re providing that helps me, then they deliver more. #CMWorld
@UXcelsior
A8: Last weekend, had a bad experience with @timewarnercable (shocker), then had a great experience at, wait for it, @Sears (!) #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@CMIContent I agree. The goal is to make sure that your content is relevant to your target audience. Gated content is gravy #CMWorld
@kkopacz1
A8 – my favorite brands who do #CX right include @tacobell @experian @amazon @apple @nordstrom #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
I think the concern is still there. It’s just that they’re not as vocal unless it’s bad… or GREAT #CMWorld https://twitter.com/AngelaTuminello/status/608314510315651072

@Mr_McFly
My take-aways from today’s chat: Invest in automated sales call centers, donuts are the future, we’re all in the damn funnel. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gate-content-build-trust-your-choice-sue-duris?trk=prof-post Another post on content gating. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@BrandedCartoons Agree 1000%. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Customers are smart they know the differences btwn selling and helping #CMWorld
@connieurway
@BrandedCartoons you forgot the appetizers. #CMWorld
@CMIContent
@lindadessau @carmenhill @orbiteers @crestodina Say hello to the Orbiteers for me. Just moved and miss those guys! #CMWorld
@SueBrady
@mikemyers614 @BrandedCartoons who would disagree with futuristic donuts? #CMWorld
@Mr_McFly
@BrandedCartoons As long as there are donuts in the funnel. #CMWorld
@SparkerWorks
@CMIContent @BrandedCartoons That’s true. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@BrandedCartoons I had two krispy cremes yesterday, not a wise move… #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
and those appetizers would be #bacon. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/608316804767850497
@Mr_McFly
@SusynEliseDuris @BrandedCartoons was that to make up for #NationalDonutDay? #CMWorld
@CMIContent
@connieurway so true! It’s obvious when a brand hasn’t figured that out yet. #CMWorld
@LydiaNicoll
@Mr_McFly Bingo! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@Mr_McFly and we have a winner! #CMWorld
@CMIContent
I will say that @CMIContent learned long ago that customer centricity was the way to go! #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
We’ll hold you to that 🙂 MT @MSLJim: Great to listen and really excellent points. I’ll be braver next time! TU. #CMWorld

@KipMeacham
@mikemyers614 I missed this. My apologies. I think #CX needs to be integrated with both online and offline. #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
@SusynEliseDuris We just keep moving it around in our silos, from digital to brand and back. We’ll figure it out soon, I’m sure. #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Read some great responses from many knowledgeable folks in today’s #CMWorld. Looking forward to next week. Peace.

@jalisalashbaugh
Q7: How would you market a Donut Funnel? #CMWorld
@WALToONs
@Mr_McFly @AnneJanzer @ardath421 Easier said than done – that’s where cultures need to change + that change starts with c-suite. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@AnneJanzer @ardath421 @Mr_McFly YES. Absolutely. Agree. #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
“@goldasich: The deeper in the funnel, the more personal content can be. Email content can get more casual, deliberate, etc. #cmworld”
@Mahi2weets
@AnneJanzer working on it! #CMWorld
@CMIContent
@ardath421 @Mr_McFly I wrote article about this. I’ll share it shortly. Huge question – who owns customer relationship? #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
@MaelRoth Agree. I have consultancy, I get you. They want results yesterday + hard to get them out of “spaghetti sticking” mindset. #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
.@kgriwert That’s why I said u have to be crystal clear on purpose. Why gate? It’s best to dev relationship then offer value content. #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
@AnneJanzer Absolutely! My point exactly #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
Develop “umbrella” content that can be leveraged into multiple forms. @LorenMcDonald http://cmi.media/bigpicture #CMWorld
