Why Smart Marketing Is About Help, Not Hype

The difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to your company’s success.

You’re not competing for attention only against other, similar products. You’re competing for attention against everything. To win in this hyper-competitive environment, you must ask “How can we help?”

If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. This is Youtility.

Includes interviews with dozens of companies practicing Youtility, and provides 6 blueprints for building Youtility in your company.

Share of Voice and Sentiment Worksheet

Before you go jumping into the social media water, shouldn’t you know what’s being said about your company, your products, and your competitors on the social Web? There are tons of great software tools out there that can help you monitor the social media conversation (I recommend Radian6, Spiral16 and ScoutLabs. Also, Collective Intellect if you’re a very big company).

But sometimes, you don’t have the money for paid software, or you just want to get a quick peek at the scenario. That’s where the Share of Voice and Sentiment Worksheet helps. Using free tools, you can determine in just a few minutes where you stand in social media.

This worksheet is accompanied by the How to Create a Share of Voice Report blog post.
