To Challenge or Not to Challenge? Matching Your Content to the Moment

Session Details:

Which buying situations call for disruptive, insight-driven messaging and content? And when do you want to dial it back with a story that follows a way different—even opposite—approach?

Different moments demand different messages. Does your content program respond to the variety of buying moments you face throughout the customer lifecycle? In Tim’s session, we got a rundown of tested and proven research designed to help you match your content to the buying moment, helping you tell the most effective stories for the following key situations:

“Why Change?” – Convince your prospect to change
“Why You?” – Establish clear differentiation
“Why Stay?” – Retain your top customers and fend off the competition
“Why Pay?” – Get your customers to pay more for your solutions
