  How to Attract & Retain More of Your Best Customers By Hacking Their Brains With Social Data

  Who’s top of mind when customers are ready for what you offer? You …or your competitors?

  We are now living in The Attention Economy. Customer attention is rare, fickle and valuable. Research has proven we can only pay attention to on one thing at a time, and you can’t influence someone who isn’t paying attention to you. That means you have more competition than you may think. In fact, you’re competing with EVERYONE for attention: the news, sports, commercials… even Game of Thrones. So, if your marketing isn’t as interesting as the NFL or Game of Thrones, all of your potential customers may ignore you. If you’re boring, you’re invisible. If you don’t stand out, you don’t stand a chance. What are you doing to become more interesting?

  This high-energy, entertaining, motivational social media program is based on case studies of companies who used the latest social media tools and consumer data to better target and attract customers. They use cutting-edge attention-grabbing strategies and tactics to successfully drive new business, more revenue and bigger profits… regardless of their company’s size, budget or expertise. With these methods, PayPal boosted video views by 300%, Carl’s Jr. & Hardee’s made mouths water with bacon, DirectBuy discovered that ugly furniture sells, and a chiropractor earned $10 for every dollar he spent online. Based on Brian’s forthcoming book Zombies, Babies & Bacon, this session looks at their best practices and teaches a simple three-step process anyone can use to maximize their results.

  Program Highlights

  • Why boring companies have trouble staying afloat in the digital age, and how you can stand out.
  • Common social media myths that kill customer response.
  • How to excite customers’ brains and stir emotions into sales… while your competitors bore customers to death and themselves into bankruptcy.
  • How to identify your most passionate potential customer segments and what makes them go.
  • The keys to overcoming market data problems to beat your competition.

  • How to reach your entire target customer audience and become their preferred solution.
