Get busy checking the motor

Focus on your target group and its need

Work actively with your content

Align your sales process with the presumed/documented buying process

Experiment to learn and improve

ROMI must be central

Use flowcharts. ALWAYS

Online/offline in combination

Offer/message first, then copy, then ”creative”

Test, test, test – if possible

Differentiate your messages

Be creative to achieve results –not to win fancy awards or the admiration of your peers

Your CEO doesn’t know

Do not leave anythingto chance
