Andrea Simon emphasizes shift from outbound to inbound marketing
Prominently featured on page 5 of the Trend Report’s Marketing section are the comments of Andrea Simon, Ph.D., Vistage speaker and Principal/Founder of Simon Associates Management Consultants (SAMC).
According to Dr. Simon, “2015 is going to experience a tectonic shift across all industries and market sectors from a dependence upon outbound marketing and cold-calling sales to a new appreciation for inbound marketing and a pull in the ability to capture people who are looking for a service and/or product.”
What’s going to be different about 2015
The question to be answered in the coming year, she stresses, is: “How can businesses provide the type of non-intrusive, credible, on-demand marketing strategies so that those people who are looking for their services or products are attracted to their website and social media?”
“It’s less about pushing for sales, and more about finding those that are looking, and helping them make the right decision to choose your business for their solution,” Dr. Simon observes.
