Smart Marketers Integrate Public Relations Into Their Business-to-Business
| |
| In my experience, B-to-B marketers don’t even think about public relations until the marketing program is already formulated. By then it’s too late. That’s because public relations professionals can look at marketing programs and discern program elements that aren’t immediately apparent.

Public relations professionals can help create “news,” which can complement other marketing ideas. Public relations, in fact, increasingly leads the branding function.

Success is a moving platform
| |
| Do you have the wrong sales team delivering your sales strategy?
Ask yourself the follow the questions:
How has your strategy and /or market place changed recently?
How have you seen the role of 'sales' change over the last few years in your industry?
