HMBT #287 No Really, What Is ABM

2/29/2024
In this episode I speak with Mike Maynard on how to outsmart the big guys with ABM. Mike is the CEO of Napier, a PR and marketing agency that helps tech companies sell more to other businesses. ABM (Account-Based Marketing) is about identifying the most likely customers for your product and focusing marketing activities and budget on them. It involves understanding the target market and creating personalized content for specific companies. Highlights: It is important to understand the market and identify the companies most likely to buy from you. AI tools, like chatbots, can be used to enrich data and help identify the target market. ABM involves understanding the buying process and the decision-making unit within the target companies. Building personas and understanding the pain points and motivations of potential customers can help create effective ABM campaigns. Personalized content and targeting specific companies can lead to better results in ABM.

Top Takeaways: Public Speaking Benefits: Public speaking is a valuable skill for personal and professional development. It provides a platform to share expertise, educate, and inspire audiences. Starting Small: Begin with local opportunities like community events, schools, or Chamber of Commerce gatherings. Practice and build confidence gradually before aiming for larger conferences. Removing Filler Words, Use Pauses and Gestures: Focus on eliminating filler words like "um" and "so" to enhance the professionalism of your speech. Consider attending workshops or hiring a coach to refine your speaking skills. Integrate pauses strategically, allowing the audience to absorb information and enhancing overall communication. Think of pauses as logical breaks, creating a rhythm in your speech. Utilize gestures authentically to enhance your message. Pay attention to audience cues; adjust your approach based on their reactions. Finding Speaking Opportunities: Explore opportunities with local organizations, non-profits, or industry associations. Utilize a CRM to track and submit proposals for speaking engagements. Niche Topics and Speaker Coaches: Identify a niche topic to stand out in the speaking industry. Consider working with speaker coaches or organizations like the National Speakers Association (NSA). Working with a Speakers Bureau: Understand the role of a Speakers Bureau, which connects speakers with event organizers. Different Bureaus have varying business models, including exclusive representation. Remember, public speaking is a continuous learning journey, and each opportunity contributes to your growth.

HMBT #269: The Video Gameshow

3/8/2021
I am joined by Christi Lowe, an Emmy Award Winning Video Producer and owner of Christi Lowe Productions. Christi and I start by discussing what kind of video works. And that is tricky because it depends on what kind of business you have. It is the kind of video you create that matter. Using brand stories can be powerful. Get people to know you. What is your why? It helps people know, like, and trust you. If you sell products, show your product and tell us how it works. Rather than going through a bunch of industries, Christi and I played a word game where I mentioned an industry, Christi provided a short answer. It was so much fun! What we proved is that everyone can create videos! If you currently do not create videos, make sure to start small and easy. Harness your knowledge and passion. Start investing time to learn how to create videos and also start with what you have as far as hardware, but upgrade as you go along. Next, we played myth busters where I asked Christi about audio and video. Which is more important? Christi says the imagery, but also mentioned both are key to great videos. I showed some hardware I have such as a phone gimbal and Rhode Video Microphone. Again, use what you have and buy new hardware when you can. If you are currently creating videos, but want to do better, Christi provides four tips. -Do not use shaky video. Use a gimbal or tripod -Make sure that your videos are not blurry. Most cameras have auto focus -Coloring is important. Make sure that your footage has the right color temperature -Use a decent microphone for good audio. As a bonus, Christi mentioned having a plan for your video. Create a storyboard of what you want to say and include. We also discuss using a teleprompter. If you use them right, they are great, but make sure not to sound like you are reading off one! Christi has a five part master course with over three hours of course material, all very practical tips that I’ve learned in her 30+ years of video marketing.
