Posted by Bill Colbert on Mar 2, 2017 8:14:15 AM

Facebook is a powerful (the most powerful?) advertising platform with over a billion daily active users. A billion daily active users. Roughly 1/6th of the world's population. It's also a fantastic platform for B2B marketers who need to generate leads.

But we often meet people who say their leads never make it from marketing qualified (MQL) to sales qualified SQL. Why? It could be a number of factors. But if your MQLs are coming from a single initial form submission, free trial, content offer or otherwise, email marketing alone isn't going to cut it. Just think of where you could be and what you could be doing when you're on Facebook and see an ad. You may get a conversion, but what if the new prospect is on a first date and was just killing time waiting for the other person to get out of the bathroom? Chances are they've forgotten about your awesome eBook before it even arrives in your inbox. 

Here we outline a few simple Facebook marketing pixel remarketing tactics you can use to warm up your leads after their initial entry into your system.

The commercial fitness equipment industry has an especially wide range of content marketing opportunities. Not only can you create content that's of value for the equipment buyer, but you can also use content to create interest and add value for the end-user. The later can even work to influence the former.

Facebook Live gives the impression that people have to be on live. That's a bit of a misnomer because there is a lot you can do with your newly-created video content.

Posted by Bill Colbert on Nov 21, 2016 7:54:10 PM

Traveling to a trade show as an attendee has a cost to it. You pay to get in, but you also have travel, hotel, and food costs. To add to that, let's not forget the opportunity cost of time away from whatever else you could be doing. Depending on who you send, it can end up being the younger members of your team struggling to find their way to the next breakout session. Or to the parties that night.

So how do you justify the expenses to yourself or to your boss? Here's the thought process and formula I used recently while attending HubSpot's Inbound conference in Boston. Setting goals beforehand took me out of my comfort zone (in a good way) and sharpened my focus.
