Jay Baer, Founder of Convince & Convert, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss Talk Triggers and word of mouth marketing.

"The goal is not to be good at content. The goal is to be good at business because of content." -Jay Baer

What’s Your Talk Trigger?

Comments, reviews, conversations… no matter what form your customer chatter takes, the word of the customer is life or death for any business. Advertising dollars can only go so far and in the end, consumers trust one another more than they trust even the most thoughtful and informative ad.
The problem with word of mouth is that it’s completely out of your control… or is it? Jay Baer of Convince & Convert thinks otherwise. His new book, Talk Triggers, is all about his strategy for giving your customers something they want to talk about.
Now that companies around the world are fully embracing content creation, simply having good content isn’t enough to stand out from your peers and competitors. By identifying your own talk trigger, you can begin to shape a story for your company that your customers will be excited to take to their friends.

In This Episode

  • Why all content should be an experience
  • What it means to have a content experience and how to create one
  • How to build a strategy for word of mouth marketing
  • How a talk trigger gives your customers a story to tell about your company
