YOUTILITY

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.

    Loved the post, but then I was blasted by a Subscribe Now popup. :) Need an infographic on those too.

      My thought exactly – a wonderful post about how folks hate registering for things, and then a pop-up asking for information! The irony of it all…

        I don’t always employ ironically timed pop-ups, but when I do it’s for my daily email.
        Note that you’ll only see it every 10th visit-ish.

        • Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu

          I guess I’ve got 9 more popup-free visits (though actually in my return visit just now I got smacked again, so maybe I’ve got a string of 18 more coming to me!)
