1

00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:03,930

And then eventually, because it's

technical, it has to get involved.

2

00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:07,410

But now you've done it behind their

back. Now it's too late. Right?

3

00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:09,780

And now they're going to either

messing something up or they're

4

00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:13,200

going to block you out of spite or,

you know, a number of other things

5

00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,260

are going to happen because you

weren't good partners in saying what

6

00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:19,080

was the right foundation, a framework

that works for everyone, or.

7

00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,720

They have wild success and they

look at it and say, see,

8

00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,670

I told you so. Yeah, right. Yeah.

9

00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:31,350

All right.

Welcome back to Exploring Growth

10

00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:34,230

and to our CEO series where I'm

interviewing CEOs around the

11

00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:37,770

Central Florida area.

Today we're talking about the

12

00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:40,650

customer experience as a means

for growth.

13

00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:43,980

So I have the pleasure of

talking with Shamir Dover.

14

00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:47,580

So who is a CEO of Smart Panda

Labs here in Central Florida?

15

00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:50,430

Welcome to the podcast, Shamir.

Thank you so much for having me.

16

00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:54,030

Lee. How excited. Yeah. Me too.

You know,

17

00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:58,200

as I was looking at your company,

I really like that you are focused on

18

00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,250

solving for the customer's experience

as they click through a brand's

19

00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:06,150

lead gen workflow, and that's just

one way to describe it, I guess.

20

00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:08,550

But, you know, talking to a lot

of marketing leaders here,

21

00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,790

listening, they know about

workflows and lead gen and

22

00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:14,790

demand gen and all these things.

So to put it in their terms,

23

00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:20,100

you know, I think that what, what

what sparked an interest from for me

24

00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,190

and why I brought you on is like

this can often be an afterthought,

25

00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:28,500

I think for a lot of companies and

brands and maybe even if not an

26

00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,140

afterthought, it's just not intense.

There's not enough intentionality

27

00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:35,190

put behind that journey.

And then the company kind of ends up

28

00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:38,850

with sort of lackluster results,

which leads to marketing teams

29

00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:41,910

thinking that, hey,

we need a new strategy, you know?

30

00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:44,790

And I'm a strategy, guys.

So like, I'm never going to tell

31

00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:48,930

somebody to not think about strategy.

But I think this is one of those

32

00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,250

times where they could actually go

down the wrong path, thinking that

33

00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:56,790

they need to retool their strategy

completely when there's just really a

34

00:01:56,790 --> 00:02:01,290

lot of conversion optimization that

could be had around the experience,

35

00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:05,700

that can make things a lot better,

you know, instead of instead of

36

00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,240

throwing the proverbial baby out

with the bathwater, you know,

37

00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240

taking a look at their customer

journey, customer experience is

38

00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:15,270

is a good thing.

So I'm excited to chat with you

39

00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:18,150

today, and how how you do this for

40

00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:21,810

your customers and to give our

audience some wisdom around

41

00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:24,330

customer experience.

Before we jump into our conversation,

42

00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:27,840

tell everybody about what is smart

Panda Labs, what are you all

43

00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,290

about and who do you work with?

Yeah, so we're,

44

00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:35,010

a digital experience agency, we've been around for about

45

00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:37,050

14 years now.

So we focus,

46

00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:39,960

as you kind of mentioned,

on the post click experience.

47

00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,570

So,

what happens on the on the internet

48

00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:45,300

after someone clicks on the ad?

And how do you use that

49

00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,990

experience to drive revenue,

to drive profitability, to drive

50

00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:53,040

lifetime value for the organization, we do that for mid-market

51

00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,640

and enterprise organizations, mostly direct to consumer,

52

00:02:56,790 --> 00:03:01,950, organizations, so, we've been doing this,

53

00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:06,810, now focused on that post click

experience for the past few years.

54

00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:10,740, we used to do,

broader services across digital

55

00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:14,370

media and SEO and things like that,

but we decided we really wanted to

56

00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:17,100

focus on that post click experience

just because we didn't feel like

57

00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,920

it was getting enough love.

So yeah, we figured, let's do it.

58

00:03:20,130 --> 00:03:23,580

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

So let's start kind of high level.

59

00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:27,570

Why does the experience of the

customer matter so much?

60

00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:32,100, I mean, when you think about it,

everything you kind of do is really

61

00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:35,400

around the experience you get, one example I always give to

62

00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,570

people is, you know, I like fast

food as much as the next guy does.

63

00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:43,500, but you go to a place like, a chick fil A,

64

00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,130

and the kind of experience you

have there is a lot different than

65

00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:49,770

the experience that you have.

I'll just say, for the sake of

66

00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:53,460

protecting other brands, other

fast food restaurants. Yes. Right.

67

00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:56,970

And, it's not because the

food is that much better.

68

00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:00,510

I mean, you could argue it is,

but really it's because you get

69

00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:02,430

quick service.

The line could be around the

70

00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:05,580

building twice, and yet you still

know it's going to move quickly

71

00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:08,640

just because the people there know

what they're doing and they just

72

00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,660

give you a positive experience.

And that releases so much tension

73

00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:16,350

and friction and doubt and fear

in the in the whole experience

74

00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:19,380

that it makes you want to go

back because you trust it. Yes.

75

00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:21,780, and that's why the customer

experience is so important.

76

00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:25,260, you could say it's all about the

product or it's all about the price.

77

00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:27,330

And those things definitely play

a large role.

78

00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:31,110

But to underestimate the role the

experience plays is really to sell

79

00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:34,890

yourself short because it it adds

up that that friction and that

80

00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:38,520

that anxiety really does add up.

And it and it pushes people in

81

00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,190

the wrong direction.

I love that you use chick fil A as an

82

00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:45,090

example. I use them all the time.

And I'm personally, my experience has

83

00:04:45,090 --> 00:04:49,440

been that I've never had a better

lesson in etiquette then going

84

00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,890

through the doors at a chick fil A,

because it seems like.

85

00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:56,430

And it's just so it's so in

front of my face now, I can't,

86

00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:59,280

I can't not see it.

But every time I go into the

87

00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,880

restaurant, physically,

I am reminded about that.

88

00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,310

There are people out there and I

don't know if it just exists in

89

00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:09,570

that one microcosm or not, but that

people do know how to say please

90

00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:12,210

and thank you. And they do not.

They do know how to hold a door

91

00:05:12,210 --> 00:05:14,880

and let someone else or wait for

you to get there.

92

00:05:15,030 --> 00:05:18,390

It's it's a it's a crazy thing

because a lot of the experience I'm

93

00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:21,720

having is with the team members

themselves because they're,

94

00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,450

they're carrying food out in and

out and they're holding the door.

95

00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:28,410

But I see it replicated immediately

with customers that are are doing it

96

00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:31,950

for the team member or vice versa.

And it's just such a pleasant

97

00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:36,390

experience to walk through those

doors and feel like, oh man,

98

00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:40,230

the door is being held for me,

or I got to hold it for someone else.

99

00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:43,080

And I haven't even gotten to

into the restaurant yet.

100

00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:47,400

I think it's a perfect example.

Yeah, when we go, when we happen

101

00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,700

to go to some other fast food and

just the chaos ensues and the drive

102

00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,870

thru lane or having to go in. Side.

I often turn to my wife and say,

103

00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:56,270

this is this is just uncivilized.

Like this isn't.

104

00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:00,290

This isn't the way things are meant

to be, you know? So no, it's so true.

105

00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:03,320

That's the best way to describe it, yeah.

106

00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,020

You know, and from a from a

business metric standpoint,

107

00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:10,310

I think chick fil A is killing it.

I think their their numbers are more

108

00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:12,950

than all the other ones combined.

I think if I read that right,

109

00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:15,800

recently, which just and they're

not even open on Sundays.

110

00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,150

So, you know, to the nature of the

experience, you're right on. Exactly.

111

00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:26,690, you know, I think that

experience is is paramount today.

112

00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:30,050

It's one of the most critical things

we can think about as marketers,

113

00:06:30,470 --> 00:06:33,920, and as a business growth, leaders.

114

00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:38,030, because people and I've said

this on lots of our,

115

00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:41,150

my recent podcast because we talk

we're talking a lot about brand and

116

00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:46,280

culture and those kind of things.

But people want to feel connected to

117

00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,090

the the thing that they're doing.

And so that experience is,

118

00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:53,240

is very important for them to

feel like it's maybe not.

119

00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,950

It doesn't have to be hyper

personalized.

120

00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:58,610

I think it depends on what

medium or format or, you know,

121

00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,200

platform they're on, but they need

to feel like it's making sense,

122

00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,670

more and more sense to them.

Would you agree? Yeah, 100%.

123

00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:12,440, I think people people today

and the generations that exist

124

00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,930

in the digital age have so much

more influence in control,

125

00:07:17,930 --> 00:07:21,410

over their interaction with brands

and services and products those

126

00:07:21,410 --> 00:07:24,530

brands offer than they did a

generation ago, that it's really

127

00:07:24,530 --> 00:07:28,460

caused this dramatic shift. Right.

So when we were younger, when our

128

00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:33,080

parents were, you know, our age.

So the brand has so much control.

129

00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,940

You had to go to the department

store.

130

00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:38,210, you know, you went into your

local Sears or whatever it was

131

00:07:38,210 --> 00:07:41,030

you trusted explicitly with,

that salesperson told you about

132

00:07:41,030 --> 00:07:42,590

what was the better model.

And, you know,

133

00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:45,290

this is a good price or not,

because you didn't really have a

134

00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:48,200

basis to explore that yourself,

to research it yourself,

135

00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,130

to understand and compare prices, what little bit of comparison

136

00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:54,620

you had to a lot of hassle because

you have to go to a whole nother

137

00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:57,230

store and have a whole nother

experience somewhere else.

138

00:07:57,230 --> 00:07:59,240

So you just kind of took it for

granted and you kind of said,

139

00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,490

okay, you know,

I like this place. This is close.

140

00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:03,890

Like, this is what you're telling me.

That's great. Right? Yeah.

141

00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:07,130

Well, the internet has completely

blown that apart because now all

142

00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:09,680

I have to do is go to, you know,

go to Google or my favorite search

143

00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,280

engine type in the product.

I get all kinds of feedback reviews.

144

00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,820

I get prices from, you know,

a dozen different retailers,

145

00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:21,710

places I can go to look at it or,

you know, I can get videos or all

146

00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:25,040

kinds of things that just put me

so much more in the driver's seat

147

00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:28,400

that now it's like, okay, now what

reason do I have to go to you

148

00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,010

versus go to you versus go to you?

And again,

149

00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:34,700

some of that is going to be price.

And that does play a factor in it.

150

00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:39,740

But no matter how much people

have changed, people are always

151

00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:42,650

willing to pay a little bit more

for a better experience.

152

00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:46,070

It's just consistently so because the

premise of you pay what you get,

153

00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:49,010

you get what you pay for,

or rather, it it's just it still

154

00:08:49,010 --> 00:08:51,710

holds consistent even, you know,

a generation later.

155

00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:55,610

So that experience that you deliver

is oftentimes going to be the

156

00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:58,460

differentiator between whether

or not I'm going to choose this

157

00:08:58,460 --> 00:09:01,430

path in this particular company

to get this product or service,

158

00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:04,340

or I'm going to go down this

other path. Yeah. That's right.

159

00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:07,670

And so let's talk about how to

improve that experience. Right.

160

00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:12,530, so just take any I don't know,

maybe you can pick a brand or

161

00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:15,680

pick a type of company there,

put an ad out there.

162

00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:21,560

And of course, that has to be to some

level of compelling and engaging

163

00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:25,760

to get people to click through, post, click post, ad,

164

00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:31,190

then talk about how you approach

improving that process. Yeah.

165

00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:34,490

It's like,

so you start with an analogy.

166

00:09:34,490 --> 00:09:36,620

It's like, going to a store,

right?

167

00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:40,880

So you, you might see an ad for

something, maybe a billboard or

168

00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,520

maybe even an online ad,

and you decide you're going to go to

169

00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,910

the store because you want to buy

this product, you want to buy this,

170

00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:50,420

this drill or this pair of shoes

or whatever the case is.

171

00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:53,270

Well, the minute you walk through

the doors, it's like, well, now,

172

00:09:53,270 --> 00:09:55,850

now I'm challenged because I

have to find the product that I

173

00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:59,630

was looking for. Right?

So, you know, how how is the store

174

00:09:59,630 --> 00:10:02,720

organized or things clearly labeled?

Are there people that help me

175

00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,810

proactively to guide me and direct

me to where it is, what I'll do?

176

00:10:05,810 --> 00:10:09,830

I need to go to to find this product, when I actually get there.

177

00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:11,810

Is it for the price that was

advertised?

178

00:10:11,810 --> 00:10:16,100

Does it have the features that I was

told it was going to have? Right.

179

00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,810

So all those different things that we

do in a physical world, the same

180

00:10:20,810 --> 00:10:24,680

thing happens in the digital world.

So you have clicked on the ad as

181

00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,040

a consumer because there's

something's been promised to you.

182

00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,190

A question is going to be answered.

A features have been displayed

183

00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:34,400

that you're interested in.

So you're clicking on that ad

184

00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,310

and you're expecting that

promise to be delivered.

185

00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:39,740

So I'm going to click on this ad

for this product.

186

00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:42,590

I expect that when I get there

I'm going to find that product

187

00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:45,350

on that page.

It's going to tell them, answer the

188

00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:48,410

question that was posed in the ad.

It's going to list the features

189

00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:51,620

that I was told it was going to

have and has.

190

00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:55,770

Obvious and straightforward as that

is, oftentimes that's not the case.

191

00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,710, you're dropped on the homepage

and left to figure it out.

192

00:10:58,710 --> 00:11:02,670

Or, the ad talks about one thing.

You get to the landing page and

193

00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:04,590

it talks about something

completely different,

194

00:11:04,590 --> 00:11:08,910

and now you've caused friction.

Now it's like, okay, wait a second.

195

00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:11,100

This this isn't what I was expecting.

Yeah.

196

00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:14,970, and again, it's one thing if you

walk into the store and you've made

197

00:11:14,970 --> 00:11:18,900

the hassle to drive 30 minutes to

get a parking space to go in there,

198

00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,760

you're going to spend a few

minutes kind of looking around,

199

00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,230

trying to find it.

You're getting frustrated,

200

00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:25,230

but the hassle of actually going

somewhere else is big.

201

00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:29,010

On the internet, all I have to do is

open up another tab or, you know,

202

00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:31,740

go back to the previous search and

say, yep, go to the next option.

203

00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:36,000

Like that's it. Right.

So that idea of how do you deliver

204

00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,810

on that click and how do you keep

that momentum going to keep that

205

00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:43,530

person going down that path,

answering those questions that,

206

00:11:43,530 --> 00:11:46,170, that they need answered in

order to ultimately go all the way

207

00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:48,930

down that funnel and say, okay,

yeah, I'm going to transact.

208

00:11:48,930 --> 00:11:53,070

I'm going to put my credit card, I'm

going to click confirm. Yeah, okay.

209

00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:57,750

So what I hear you saying is first

setting the proper expectation

210

00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:05,160

and then removing any known or

feedback given friction,

211

00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:09,270

something comes to mind is an

interview I saw with Mr. Beast,

212

00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:13,020

a little while ago talking about,

you know, his success on YouTube.

213

00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:16,080

And they're asking like, you know,

what's the formula? What do we do?

214

00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,410

Like tell us and we'll just do it, and he said,

215

00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:23,070

it's actually pretty simple.

And it's not just a YouTube thing.

216

00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:24,840, and it's very similar to

what you just said.

217

00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,890

It's kind of an obvious thing

where but not so obvious to us

218

00:12:28,890 --> 00:12:30,960

as marketers when we start

putting stuff together. Right?

219

00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,480

Because we get into this different

world where he said, okay,

220

00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,850

you create a thumbnail and you know,

these thumbnails,

221

00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:40,260

there is a little bit of a

formula to how they're currently

222

00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:43,770

operating and what gets a click.

But whatever expectation you set in

223

00:12:43,770 --> 00:12:46,890

that thumbnail, you need to, you need

to follow through on that expectation

224

00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:50,370

within the first five seconds.

So when they click it, you know,

225

00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:53,850

if if it says we're going to take

five cars and dump them into

226

00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:57,300

this lake, you know, and that's

what got you hooked. Well, okay.

227

00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:00,510

When you click, he's standing

there in front of the lake with

228

00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:03,540

the five cars, and he's saying,

we're going to take these five

229

00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:06,480

cars and send them in the lake.

But and he puts, you know,

230

00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,940

starts to tell a story,

but it's a little of a conflict

231

00:13:08,940 --> 00:13:12,030

and that captures your attention.

Before you know it you've watched

232

00:13:12,030 --> 00:13:15,930

three quarters of the video, right?

So I think, you know,

233

00:13:15,930 --> 00:13:19,770

here's somebody who's doing it on

the highest level from storytelling

234

00:13:19,770 --> 00:13:23,160

standpoint and a modern day

technology, modern day marketing.

235

00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,700

And what you're saying for just

average brands really should be

236

00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:30,930

following the same formula 100%.

And the beauty one of the beautiful

237

00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:34,290

things about the internet is it's

so easy to gather feedback about

238

00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:38,220

people and what they're doing, right.

So from its most basic form of

239

00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:41,250

just having general web analytics,

you know, putting Google Analytics on

240

00:13:41,250 --> 00:13:45,780

a website and measuring people's

activity to far more robust ways

241

00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:49,380

of gathering data, gathering

online feedback via online polls,

242

00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:53,130

or using tools that do session

recordings or heat maps.

243

00:13:53,130 --> 00:13:56,700

There's ways to to constantly do

research and say, okay, well,

244

00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,900

let me let me get a view of what kind

of experience people are having and

245

00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:05,130

get a sense based on that research,

of where are they having issues, what

246

00:14:05,130 --> 00:14:07,620

kinds of questions are they posing?

Why aren't they doing the things

247

00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,740

that I'm expecting them to do,

and then taking that information

248

00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:13,860

and saying, okay, how do how do

we create some ideas about how we

249

00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:17,070

solve these problems for people,

and then the ability to test that

250

00:14:17,070 --> 00:14:19,590

in real time and actually say,

did that work?

251

00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:22,200

Is that actually solving

problems for people?

252

00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:27,000

All those things can,

can really dramatically impact,

253

00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,570, the business performance of

any of any company who puts those

254

00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:34,170

things into practice, because now

you're getting the most out of all

255

00:14:34,170 --> 00:14:38,190

those dollars you're spending to

drive people to your experience,

256

00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:40,920

and you're really maximizing that.

So now it's not just about driving

257

00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,130

revenue, which is important,

but it's about driving profit, right?

258

00:14:44,130 --> 00:14:47,700

It's about reducing your costs and

saying, how do we get more out of

259

00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:49,740

the money that we're spending?

So you're getting a better

260

00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:53,640

return on that investment? Yeah.

So you need to find out where

261

00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,120

those points of friction are.

So you need the right tools and maybe

262

00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,240

technology to help you do that.

You know, going back to your analogy

263

00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,940

of the in-person kind of Sears model, and even today in person,

264

00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,900

you know, savvy companies and

brands that want to know how they

265

00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:14,100

can improve that experience.

They're watching the flow of

266

00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,590

traffic in the store.

They're seeing someone get there

267

00:15:16,590 --> 00:15:19,860

and kind of scratch their head as

lost as to they're looking for

268

00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:23,280

something, they can't find it.

So translate that to online.

269

00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,680

That's really sounds like what you're

saying is you need to have the

270

00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,010

right tools with the heatmaps and,

you know, Google tag manager and

271

00:15:29,010 --> 00:15:33,060

looking at things, where are people

getting, hitting a hitch?

272

00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:35,640

Where are people getting,

you know, stopped in their tracks,

273

00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,400

and why are they stopping?

Why are they leaving this page?

274

00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,710

Why are they doing those things?

That's critical.

275

00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:43,650

That's very critical for for

brands today to know,

276

00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,060

I think even just to start,

before you start running a campaign,

277

00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:51,660

before you put together more, sophisticated work.

278

00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,330

Flo is just seeing.

What are people looking at currently

279

00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:59,260

and what are they not doing? Yeah.

And I mean, the smart companies

280

00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:02,470

have a framework in place to keep

doing that constantly. Right.

281

00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:06,070

Because they're getting a

constant influx of new people.

282

00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:08,560

They're putting up new products

and services.

283

00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,560

Competitors are making changes.

The market is changing.

284

00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,380

So you have to have a system where

you're getting consistent feedback

285

00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:17,080

because all those changes are

happening and you have to be able to

286

00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,070

measure and adapt, measure and adapt,

measure, adapt to all those changes.

287

00:16:21,070 --> 00:16:24,730

So people are getting that

framework in place to say,

288

00:16:24,730 --> 00:16:27,310

how are we constantly kind of

making sure we're monitoring this

289

00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:30,880

and understanding how people are

interacting so we can keep making

290

00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,580

those little tweaks and little

adjustments that allow people to

291

00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:36,310

more easily accomplish what they

want to accomplish and what we

292

00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:38,920

want them to accomplish, which is,

of course, doing business with us.

293

00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:42,970

Okay, so let's say you're having

a conversation with a VP,

294

00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:45,550

marketing, marketing director.

They're building a new campaign

295

00:16:45,790 --> 00:16:48,430

and they have Google Tag Manager

in place.

296

00:16:48,430 --> 00:16:51,220

Google analytics, they have some of

the fundamental things in place,

297

00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:54,670

and they are looking at some data,

but they want to do something a

298

00:16:54,670 --> 00:16:58,210

little bit more sophisticated.

And and it's going to start with

299

00:16:58,210 --> 00:17:02,860

an ad and it's going to end with,

I don't know, maybe that customer

300

00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:08,560

dumping into a nurture sequence or,

or ending up on a newsletter or maybe

301

00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,650

even a conversion potentially to,

to a purchase, but they're going

302

00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:15,850

to launch this new thing.

What kind of direction or advice

303

00:17:15,850 --> 00:17:19,780

would you give them to not step in

any potholes, right, right out of

304

00:17:19,780 --> 00:17:22,810

the gate, you know, I mean, what

would you tell them to to consider

305

00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:26,470

before they launch that campaign?

I think the biggest thing is,

306

00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:29,290

you know what?

What is the ultimate goal of the

307

00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:32,050

campaign, right.

In terms of obviously it's for

308

00:17:32,050 --> 00:17:34,450

someone to buy.

But, you know, is it is the

309

00:17:34,450 --> 00:17:37,780

campaign about market share?

Is the campaign about,

310

00:17:37,780 --> 00:17:40,930

you know, upsell, cross-sell.

Is it about order value? Right.

311

00:17:40,930 --> 00:17:43,180

So what is it you're trying to

accomplish.

312

00:17:43,180 --> 00:17:47,710

And then make a connection between

that and what the person needs

313

00:17:47,710 --> 00:17:50,920

in order to kind of make meet

that goal that you're trying to

314

00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,380

get them to accomplish. Right.

So what's what's that connection.

315

00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:56,620

So in order for someone to make

that decision, what would they need

316

00:17:56,620 --> 00:17:59,980

to know in that purchase cycle, some of that's going to be,

317

00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:01,570

you know,

going to fall back on that person is,

318

00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:04,360

you know, kind of best practice.

But again, that's where a lot of

319

00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:07,390

that research comes into play.

Understanding who your customer is,

320

00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:10,360

understanding what their drivers

are and their motivations. Right.

321

00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,600

And then taking that and then

leveraging that to say, well,

322

00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,450

if these are the questions they

need answered in order to make this

323

00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:20,320

kind of decision, how do we then

create the content that's needed?

324

00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,040

And then where are the best

places to inject that content

325

00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,810

and to deliver it to them?

Because you can't give them all

326

00:18:25,810 --> 00:18:28,090

in one shot. Right?

So some of it's going to be on

327

00:18:28,090 --> 00:18:30,730

the landing page, some of it's

going to be, as you mentioned in

328

00:18:30,730 --> 00:18:33,940

the nurture emails, some of it is

even going to be in the ad. Right.

329

00:18:33,940 --> 00:18:35,980

So what are the most high level

questions?

330

00:18:35,980 --> 00:18:39,130

That's kind of top of the funnel.

And then what are the more the

331

00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:42,340

deeper questions, the more detailed

questions they need answered right

332

00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:44,530

before that point of conversion.

Those things are going to be

333

00:18:44,530 --> 00:18:46,180

deeper in the funnel.

So you're really just trying to

334

00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:49,570

say consumer.

Here's all the information you need.

335

00:18:49,570 --> 00:18:52,870

Let's figure out what order we

should put that information in in a

336

00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:55,750

way that makes logical sense for

you so that you're consistently

337

00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:58,180

answering this question.

We're knocking down each barrier,

338

00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:01,360

and eventually we're getting you to

the point of conversion, yeah.

339

00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,400

And we tell people always be testing,

right?

340

00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,580

So yes, there's always an opportunity

to say, well, there's a couple of

341

00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:08,680

different ways we can look at this.

Well, great, let's test it and

342

00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,110

let's see how people react.

Right. Let's understand that.

343

00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:13,630

And there's different kinds of tests

for different kinds of scenarios.

344

00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:17,350

Whether you're trying to run a sale,

whether it's a longer term campaign.

345

00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:19,180

Right.

There's all kinds of different tools.

346

00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:21,880

It's just like building a house.

You have to know the right tool

347

00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,040

for the right job in order to

accomplish the ultimate goal. Yeah.

348

00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,250

You know, so if we get a little

bit more nuance to it, talking

349

00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:33,120

about a specific part of that,

what maybe the most critical

350

00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,470

part was that the landing page,

is it the, you know, the form,

351

00:19:37,470 --> 00:19:41,220

you know, is it what is it what's

maybe the most critical part of it?

352

00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:46,560

And then how would you advise on

initial testing? Is it okay?

353

00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,520

You've got the messaging, you've

got imagery, you've got, you know,

354

00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,360

the the technical things in place.

What would you tell them to think

355

00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,900

about testing first. Is it copy.

Is it you know graphics.

356

00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:02,610

Is it links to certain places or

how would you direct them.

357

00:20:02,970 --> 00:20:07,440

No good questions, so I think a lot of times you're

358

00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,830

going to start you need a baseline.

So you're just going to start with,

359

00:20:10,860 --> 00:20:15,060, a lot of times it's best practice

of based on whatever information you

360

00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:17,550

already have on hand. Right, right.

And that's going to be your

361

00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:18,900

starting point.

And then you're just going to

362

00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:22,320

change and iterate from that. Yeah, in terms of the part that's the

363

00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,520

most important, that's hard.

That's hard to to answer because like

364

00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,520

every part of it's important. Right.

So again, let's go back to the

365

00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,460

story analogy real quick.

If I go into the store and I

366

00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:35,340

can't even find the product I'm

looking for, well then finding

367

00:20:35,340 --> 00:20:38,820

the product is most important.

If I can, if I can find the product.

368

00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:41,250

But then I get to the checkout

line and they're all full,

369

00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:43,680

and I'm not going to stand in

line for 30 minutes to do it.

370

00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,140

Well, then getting the checkout

line shorter is most important.

371

00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,540

Or adding, you know, self-checkout

is most important, right?

372

00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:51,540

So every point of friction kind

of matters.

373

00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:54,840

But typically where we like to

kind of focus on at the beginning,

374

00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,800

if at all possible,

is the place closest to conversion.

375

00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:01,140, because essentially that's

the lowest hanging fruit.

376

00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,120

Like those are the people who

have gone to the store,

377

00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,490

gotten the product,

put it in their cart or in their

378

00:21:05,490 --> 00:21:09,000

hand like they've gotten in line,

like they're ready to buy it. Right?

379

00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,220

Like you even have to convince

them they're, you know,

380

00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:14,400

this is what they want.

So how do we make it as easy for

381

00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,460

them as possible to swipe their

credit card and go, right?

382

00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:19,530

If you're if you're going to

have a long line at checkout and

383

00:21:19,530 --> 00:21:21,630

someone's just going to say,

like, I don't have time for this,

384

00:21:21,630 --> 00:21:24,150

and I'm frustrated and I just put

it down on the counter and leave,

385

00:21:24,150 --> 00:21:26,580

just leave the store.

Well, that's like giving money

386

00:21:26,580 --> 00:21:29,280

away because the person wanted it.

So a lot of times when we start

387

00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,160

testing is we look at those

points very close to conversion,

388

00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,100

those people who really just need

to get over that last hump because

389

00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,800

that's the lowest hanging fruit, and another reason that's,

390

00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,340

that's a great place to start is

because all points converge there.

391

00:21:41,610 --> 00:21:44,220

So whether someone's coming from

direct traffic, whether they're

392

00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:46,980

coming from organic search, whether

they're coming from paid search,

393

00:21:47,010 --> 00:21:50,760

a display display ad and email,

whatever the case is, if you can

394

00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,880

get that friction eliminated,

all those channels are going to

395

00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,240

benefit as opposed to maybe focusing

on a landing page, which is, well,

396

00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,760

we're just using that for paid

search, and that's important.

397

00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,300

But hey, if there's a way to

focus on something that benefits

398

00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,690

all channels, everything we're

doing across the board, well,

399

00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:09,000

you're just going to see the return

on that investment that much quicker.

400

00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:11,970

Yep. That makes total sense.

And I like that idea.

401

00:22:11,970 --> 00:22:15,570

It's kind of a good direction to say

start at the bottom of the workflow,

402

00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:19,170

bottom of the funnel, and work back

up because you're going to benefit

403

00:22:19,170 --> 00:22:23,490

yourself from your insights gathered

all the way back up. Exactly.

404

00:22:23,610 --> 00:22:26,730, and you might even end up

with sort of a scaled,

405

00:22:26,730 --> 00:22:28,740

you know, version of the

insights that you gain.

406

00:22:28,740 --> 00:22:31,200

Because when you get back to the

all the way back up to the ad,

407

00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,010

well, now you have all this insight

to create new and better ads,

408

00:22:35,580 --> 00:22:38,820, along the way, though. Okay.

So what about the technical side

409

00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:40,890

of things?

What kind of technical potholes

410

00:22:40,890 --> 00:22:45,030

can they usually get stuck in

when they're trying to build or

411

00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:48,480

optimize a campaign?

Yeah, I mean, a lot of it has to

412

00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,780

do with the fact that,

when you get from that crossover

413

00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:56,490

into this is what we for marketing

want to do and how do we actually

414

00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:59,670

execute against that? Right.

So if you're dependent, for example,

415

00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:02,790

upon an IT team, you've got a

couple of barriers there. Right.

416

00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:07,500

And they're not necessarily barriers

that are a problem with the

417

00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:10,170

IT team in and of themselves.

They're just barriers to maybe

418

00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:13,980

just doing business in general.

So first of all, can we effectively

419

00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:17,640

and clearly articulate to it or to

whoever your technical team is?

420

00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,500

This is what we want to happen,

right?

421

00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:22,140

Because marketers tend to think

one way technical people tend to

422

00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:24,600

think a very different way.

So if you're speaking two different

423

00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,170

languages, is that translation

accurate enough to get across to

424

00:23:28,170 --> 00:23:31,080

them what it is you want to do?

So that can be an issue.

425

00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:34,260

Technical teams are typically

strained so there can be a

426

00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:36,090

bottleneck.

So it's like, hey, I want to launch

427

00:23:36,090 --> 00:23:38,460

this campaign in a couple of weeks.

And they tell you, look,

428

00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:41,220

we got a list of things a couple

of months long, I can add you to

429

00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:43,560

the list. We'll get to it. Right.

So there's there's a lot of

430

00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,450

bottlenecks there that can

happen as well.

431

00:23:45,450 --> 00:23:49,080

So it's about saying how do we work

together to be able to make sure

432

00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,230

that we understand each other,

that we properly prioritize these

433

00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:55,620

things for the overall benefit of

the business, and that we have

434

00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:59,850

the right tools in place to be

able to move with some speed and

435

00:23:59,850 --> 00:24:03,210

have some speed to market. Right.

So if you are, for example,

436

00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:06,750

going to be doing some AB testing

or some personalization, what are

437

00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:10,110

those tool sets that you can have in

place that allow you to do that?

438

00:24:10,110 --> 00:24:12,930

Do you have those specialized

development resources that can

439

00:24:12,930 --> 00:24:14,940

help you support those

particular tool sets?

440

00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,050

That way you can say, number one,

okay, this is what we want to do.

441

00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:22,860

We can execute this more quickly.

But then number two, once we execute

442

00:24:22,860 --> 00:24:26,580

it we have the results. We say okay.

This works better than this.

443

00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:29,280

Now you're able to go back to it

and say, hey, it.

444

00:24:29,430 --> 00:24:32,070

We want to make this change

because this is going to work

445

00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:35,370

better for the business.

And here are the results that show

446

00:24:35,370 --> 00:24:37,980

this is going to work better for

the business. This is the impact.

447

00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:41,490

Well, now it's like easier for it to

prioritize right now that now the CIO

448

00:24:41,490 --> 00:24:44,850

is in a position where he can say, I

should move this up the list because

449

00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:47,970

this is going to have a direct

impact on our bottom line. Yeah.

450

00:24:47,970 --> 00:24:50,820

As opposed to I should move this

up the list because so-and-so is

451

00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:53,730

complaining about it and they just

happen to be the loudest one,

452

00:24:53,730 --> 00:24:57,600

or so-and-so got to their boss first.

So, you know, the CMO is saying

453

00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,360

this is more important to the CRO,

saying this is more important.

454

00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,030

Well, now it's business related.

Now we're all on the same page.

455

00:25:03,150 --> 00:25:06,330

Now we're doing stuff that's going to

affect all of us. Yeah, I like that.

456

00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:11,250

I think that's the thread of

business metrics, business results.

457

00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:15,690

And you know, prioritizing those

is is a great place to, to land.

458

00:25:16,050 --> 00:25:20,280, I've found that it is is a bit

usually a big bottleneck because

459

00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,410

they're doing what they do well.

And a lot of times it doesn't

460

00:25:22,410 --> 00:25:25,440

translate to marketing, and I think that a lot of times,

461

00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,790

just my own opinion, marketing needs

to start to, find and build,

462

00:25:30,210 --> 00:25:33,720, resources and tools that they

can bring into marketing that are

463

00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,560

owned and controlled by marketing,

that are not sanctioned by, you know,

464

00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:43,500

it because it allows marketers to

move quicker and test more often,

465

00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,620

without there being the bottlenecks, so, you know, I don't know

466

00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:49,770

what people's situations are,

but I know that's been my experience.

467

00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,110

There is a big kind of divide in

terms of, discipline or train of

468

00:25:55,110 --> 00:26:00,150

thought when you think about,

what an IT department or person's

469

00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:03,450

there to do and what a marketer is

there to do, or really anyone else

470

00:26:03,450 --> 00:26:06,210

that's involved with technology.

Because unfortunate truth is

471

00:26:06,210 --> 00:26:10,320

that we're all here.

Almost every facet of a of an

472

00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,930

organization has some form of

technology.

473

00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:16,620, so it's really got to come

outside of it and got to be more

474

00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,370

domain focused, you know,

475

00:26:20,370 --> 00:26:23,880

just my $0.02 to add to that.

No, I think you're 100% right.

476

00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,970

I mean, I think you have to work

with it as partners to create

477

00:26:26,970 --> 00:26:29,190

the right foundation, right,

and the right kind of framework

478

00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:32,130

for what you're putting in place.

But if you have that solid foundation

479

00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:34,920

and framework, then it's like,

okay, marketing, you use this,

480

00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,950

you guys go and do this and you

rock n roll, we're going to do

481

00:26:37,950 --> 00:26:41,490

our thing over here and we'll be

able to move forward and faster.

482

00:26:41,490 --> 00:26:45,150

And once you're in that, once you

have that place of alignment,

483

00:26:45,150 --> 00:26:49,650

now everyone's able to accomplish it,

not in silos but in communication

484

00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:53,310

of like, okay, we've set you up

for success to do these things

485

00:26:53,310 --> 00:26:56,310

that we know are important to you,

while allowing us to do things

486

00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:58,830

that we know are important to us,

but we're all moving in the same

487

00:26:58,830 --> 00:27:00,840

direction to keep the business

moving forward.

488

00:27:01,050 --> 00:27:04,290

What sometimes happens,

as you kind of alluded to, is that,

489

00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:07,590, marketing will go off and say,

look, I can't wait for it anymore.

490

00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:09,930

I'm going to do my own thing,

and they do it in a vacuum.

491

00:27:10,350 --> 00:27:14,430

And then eventually, because it's

technical, it has to get involved.

492

00:27:14,430 --> 00:27:17,910

Yeah, but now you've done it behind

their back. Now it's too late. Right?

493

00:27:17,910 --> 00:27:20,280

And now they're going to either

messing something up or they're

494

00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,700

going to block you out of spite or,

you know, or a number of other things

495

00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:26,760

are going to happen because you

weren't good partners in saying what

496

00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,580

was the right foundation, a framework

that works for everyone, or.

497

00:27:29,580 --> 00:27:32,220

They have wild success and they

look at it and say, see,

498

00:27:32,220 --> 00:27:39,630

I told you so. Yeah. Right. Yeah. No.

So let's go back to the customer

499

00:27:39,630 --> 00:27:43,320

experience, the customer journey

and workflow of a campaign.

500

00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,820

And maybe you can give us some

like kind of current day tips or

501

00:27:47,820 --> 00:27:50,130

tactics that you've seen from

content standpoint.

502

00:27:50,130 --> 00:27:53,910

So if you're building a campaign what

do you see that's working right now.

503

00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:57,960

Is it is it heavy on images or

graphics or videos or is it,

504

00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,410

you know, having a landing page set

up a certain way, you know, what are

505

00:28:01,410 --> 00:28:05,340

you seeing that is working? Yeah, you know,

506

00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:07,560

a lot of times it depends.

The specifics of it depend on

507

00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,990

the brand and the product.

But some things that are pretty

508

00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:12,900

consistent is, you know,

messaging is super important.

509

00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:16,740, there's a fallacy that people

don't read. People do read. Oh, yeah.

510

00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:19,560

They just read what they want to

read. Like. That's right. Right.

511

00:28:20,370 --> 00:28:24,180, so that's super important.

And having that symmetry between the

512

00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:27,720

messaging on the ad to the messaging

that gets delivered after they

513

00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,170

click on the ad is super important.

The more symmetry we see between

514

00:28:31,170 --> 00:28:35,340

that messaging,

the better the results typically are.

515

00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:38,280, because it's because you're

setting, again, when you see the ad,

516

00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,550

you're setting an expectation by

what the ad says and what it shows.

517

00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:43,800

And if you're able to mirror

that expectation when you get to

518

00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,350

the landing page,

it's a it's a sense of reassurance

519

00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:49,110

that I've gotten to the right place.

This is talking about the same

520

00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:50,970

thing that it was just talking

about in the ad.

521

00:28:50,970 --> 00:28:54,150

I'm seeing the same imagery that

I just saw on the ad.

522

00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,280

It's a sense of reassurance I'm

in the right place.

523

00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,020

So that's a big one that we see

a lot.

524

00:28:58,050 --> 00:29:01,350

Having that symmetry across ad

creative all the way to that

525

00:29:01,350 --> 00:29:06,300

entry or landing page. Creative, another one we see, very

526

00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:10,950

often is the importance of having

calls to action in the right place.

527

00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:15,270, so keeping that ability to

take action, in a place often

528

00:29:15,270 --> 00:29:18,000

above the fold is super important,

529

00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,660

so people can see where they need to

go in order to take that next step.

530

00:29:22,050 --> 00:29:24,840, you don't want that call to

action to get too buried in.

531

00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:28,500

The process, and then as we mentioned before,

532

00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:33,060, recognizing that even though

you want that person to make that

533

00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:36,570

decision and by all in that one

single session, that one visit,

534

00:29:36,570 --> 00:29:39,210

that's not how people often buy.

Again,

535

00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:42,330

depending on the product or service.

So you have to account for that and

536

00:29:42,330 --> 00:29:46,680

say, even though my primary call

to action may be to add this to

537

00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,580

my cart to check out to purchase,

I might need a secondary call to

538

00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:53,580

action like, you know,

sign up for our emails to hear more

539

00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:56,490

about our products and services, to learn more about this

540

00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:58,380

particular product,

wherever the case is,

541

00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:01,740

so that you're able to say, well,

that's that's a softer commitment.

542

00:30:02,220 --> 00:30:05,820

You know, I'm not ready to to hit by,

but yeah, I'll, I'll sign up to

543

00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:08,790

get some more information.

And now you have a chance to be able

544

00:30:08,790 --> 00:30:12,420

to reach out proactively and deliver

to them a little bit more content,

545

00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:15,690

a little bit more information and

chunks, maybe even to test some

546

00:30:15,690 --> 00:30:18,000

different things and different value

propositions with a product or

547

00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,510

service and see how they react to

those different things and then see,

548

00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:23,760

okay, that's that's the one that

pushed them over the line,

549

00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,070

and that's the one that got them

to actually convert.

550

00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,820

So leveraging those kind of multiple

calls to actions of those primary

551

00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:34,080

and secondary calls to action, so

that person isn't, feeling like

552

00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,420

they have to make a decision right

then and there or else. That's it.

553

00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:41,190

In their lost. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you know, this is where,

554

00:30:41,550 --> 00:30:45,810

you know, planning your marketing

out and having a longer range or

555

00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:49,860

a broader marketing strategy.

It comes into play, I think,

556

00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:54,120

because I think a lot of business

leaders who are directing

557

00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:59,010

marketing teams, you know,

that are external for marketing but

558

00:30:59,010 --> 00:31:03,930

have influence or they can get caught

into this cycle of short term,

559

00:31:03,930 --> 00:31:08,250

kind of ROI and that kind of thing.

And they end up putting market

560

00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:10,260

department in a,

in a tricky situation where they're

561

00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:15,330

chasing their tail and, you know,

longer, kind of bigger view.

562

00:31:15,330 --> 00:31:18,870

Our vision is, is and I'm saying

this more for marketers to kind of

563

00:31:18,870 --> 00:31:22,740

just remember that this is true.

And, you know, they kind of take this

564

00:31:22,740 --> 00:31:25,440

back to those people and remind them,

like, we really need to be

565

00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,420

thinking in terms of the parts

of the of the buying journey.

566

00:31:30,420 --> 00:31:33,330

You know, we need to think about

getting awareness from a certain

567

00:31:33,330 --> 00:31:35,400

percentage of the market.

And that's all we're going to do

568

00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,040

is get their awareness.

A couple of them might buy,

569

00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,350

a couple of them might follow,

but mostly we're just letting

570

00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:43,620

them know nurture.

Who are the people who are nurturing

571

00:31:43,620 --> 00:31:46,230

and what do we want them to do?

You're talking about having to call

572

00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:50,040

to actions as a testing point.

I think that's that's that's good.

573

00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560

You know, it's like, well,

if they're not buying,

574

00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,040

then what else could they do, and then of course the bottom

575

00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,250

of the funnel starting there.

That's that's a good way, I think,

576

00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:02,790

for marketers to appease,

leadership and say, you know, hey,

577

00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:06,540

we're making some quick wins.

But since we did this, give us a

578

00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:09,480

longer leash to work back up the

funnel and explain to them that we

579

00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,390

need to do more nurturing so we can

have more opportunities to convert.

580

00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:16,620, you know, I just think that

it can get it can get lost,

581

00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:20,640

it can get lost on them.

And it can be overwhelming to

582

00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,640

think that, oh, I have to just

constantly be generating sales.

583

00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,970

And again, depending on product

service, you might actually have

584

00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:29,550

to be using marketing to

generate sales to some degree.

585

00:32:29,550 --> 00:32:32,820

But a lot of the times it's not.

It's it's taking a longer view and,

586

00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:35,280

and thinking about what is it,

what can we create that meets

587

00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,240

them where they are now.

100%, I think, to your point,

588

00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,750

you get so shortsighted about this

next campaign and how it's performing

589

00:32:42,750 --> 00:32:45,990

that you forget your ultimate goal

here is to drive a relationship

590

00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:50,040

and build that lifetime value.

Because once you get a customer,

591

00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,880

if you can get them to come back,

right, that's so much cheaper than

592

00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,040

it is to get someone net new.

That's right.

593

00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,130, so there's customer acquisition,

which is super important,

594

00:32:59,130 --> 00:33:02,400

but there's also customer retention.

And that's where the experience

595

00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,540

really comes into play of once I've

got them and they've transacted

596

00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:09,750

how do I build that relationship?

How do I get them to come back?

597

00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,220

How do I make it?

How do I delight them?

598

00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:15,240

How do I make this easier for them?

And that's all long term thinking,

599

00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,100

right?

That's long term thinking about,

600

00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:20,520

you know, customer profiles and how

I'm personalizing the experience now

601

00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,310

based on what I know about them,

what they've told me,

602

00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:25,950

what they've looked at, what

they've bought in the past. Right.

603

00:33:25,950 --> 00:33:30,780

So with every interaction, you're

able to, again, in the longer term,

604

00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:32,940

build more of a personal relationship

because you're learning more and

605

00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:35,910

more about them and you're able

to do a better job of saying,

606

00:33:35,910 --> 00:33:38,610

I know you're not interested in this.

I know you're not interested in this.

607

00:33:38,610 --> 00:33:40,950

This is what you're most likely

to be interested in.

608

00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:43,470

And it's like, yeah,

that's exactly what I need. Great.

609

00:33:43,470 --> 00:33:45,510

Let's let's make this next

transaction. Right.

610

00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:48,960

So thinking about it longer term.

And you know, when you're talking

611

00:33:48,990 --> 00:33:51,840

to an executive that's really

what you want to hear anyway.

612

00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,450

Because that's when an executive

is getting paid.

613

00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,830

Incentivize for an executive

especially at a larger organization,

614

00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:02,700

is not getting paid on how many

sales we made on this campaign

615

00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:05,880

that we ran for four weeks. Right.

They're getting paid for like,

616

00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,390

how were their earnings this year

over the earnings projections for

617

00:34:09,390 --> 00:34:12,450

next year? Right. That's right.

And those are longer term metrics

618

00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:15,300

that are going to require things like

profitability and lifetime value

619

00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:17,820

to be taken into consideration,

not just what happened in this four

620

00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:21,120

week sale. Such a great point.

Yeah, that's such a great point

621

00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,240

to translate, and you know, you,

622

00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,670

you talk about.

Now we've been talking about

623

00:34:25,670 --> 00:34:29,360

mostly about, you know,

after the click of the ad and now

624

00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,390

kind of what you're talking about is

after the sale and that experience

625

00:34:32,390 --> 00:34:35,600

that happens after the sale,

how much do you think about making

626

00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:41,150

the after click experience match

with the after sale experience?

627

00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:45,590

We think about that a lot, right?

Because with every interaction we

628

00:34:45,590 --> 00:34:49,850

want to, you know, segment and

get down to how close we can get

629

00:34:49,850 --> 00:34:52,790

to that person on a 1 to 1 basis.

And sometimes you can get, you know,

630

00:34:52,790 --> 00:34:56,210

pretty close to 1 to 1, especially

with some modern technology and

631

00:34:56,210 --> 00:35:00,290

AI and things like that.

But, you want to keep the

632

00:35:00,290 --> 00:35:04,010

overall kind of architecture of the

experience relatively consistent so

633

00:35:04,010 --> 00:35:07,040

people can get used to it. Right?

Like you probably have a local

634

00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,860

supermarket and you probably

know that you go there enough

635

00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:11,510

and it's like,

I know exactly where the milk is.

636

00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:14,480

If I need to go grab some milk,

I know where the eggs are. Right?

637

00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,910

There's there's there's comfort

to that.

638

00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:18,560

And you want to maintain that

comfort.

639

00:35:18,740 --> 00:35:21,650

But with the internet, we have

the ability to take that comfort

640

00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:26,000

to the next level and say, hey,

I know Lee likes this brand of eggs,

641

00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,510

so it's like the supermarket putting

it right at at eye level for you

642

00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:31,610

every time you walk into the store.

Amazing, right?

643

00:35:31,610 --> 00:35:34,280

And it's just like, I know where

the eggs are. Oh that's perfect.

644

00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,530

You know, I don't have to go

kind of digging for, you know,

645

00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,200

why is. That not happening?

Why is that not happening? Yeah.

646

00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:44,630

Maybe one day.

But that's what you can do online,

647

00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:46,100

right?

You can you can take that that

648

00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,890

that consistent structure.

And then you can position your

649

00:35:48,890 --> 00:35:51,110

products and services within

that structure to say,

650

00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,350

here's the next best choice for you

based on what we know about you.

651

00:35:54,350 --> 00:35:58,250

So we really want to provide that

consistency and improve the overall,

652

00:35:58,580 --> 00:36:01,490, the overall flow of the

overall structure.

653

00:36:01,490 --> 00:36:04,070

But then we also want to tweak that

and say, okay, well how do we segment

654

00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:07,790

that down and how do we position

things better for new versus new

655

00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:10,640

versus returning visitors or,

you know, maybe based on

656

00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,850

geography at a high level.

And then as we get to know about you,

657

00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,580

you know, a frequent customer,

a customer of this type of product

658

00:36:16,580 --> 00:36:19,340

or service or service line,

and how do we continue to kind of

659

00:36:19,340 --> 00:36:23,030

tweak that and play with that?

Yeah, that's as amazing.

660

00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:27,080

Now you've got me thinking about

how my customer experience at

661

00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,820

the grocery store could be. Yes.

Just the same thing I bought

662

00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:34,160

last time or no,

I want to see more options.

663

00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,960

And, you know, actually, now that I

said it, Instacart and those type

664

00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,350

of experiences kind of provide a

little bit of that where you can

665

00:36:42,350 --> 00:36:44,840

you can just kind of click. Yeah.

What we did last week for the

666

00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,810

most part, so you're starting to see a

667

00:36:47,810 --> 00:36:51,620

crossover in the physical and the

virtual being kind of the same,

668

00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:56,180

where a lot of the, the accoutrements

of the virtual world are now being

669

00:36:56,180 --> 00:37:00,410

pulled into the physical world, and, and there's a lot

670

00:37:00,410 --> 00:37:03,830

of benefit for that,

I think not not just I think I

671

00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:07,040

like how you're how you think.

Let's go old school and think

672

00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,340

about how how do we operate as

humans in the physical world.

673

00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:12,680

Now, let's translate that to the

virtual world.

674

00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,010, and you're starting to see that,

that full cycle at this point,

675

00:37:16,010 --> 00:37:18,650

too. Yeah.

It's it's the exact same psychology,

676

00:37:18,650 --> 00:37:20,120

right?

I mean, it's the same brains

677

00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,340

working the same way.

It's just, you know, you're just

678

00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:24,950

all you're doing is making a

small translation for the medium.

679

00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:28,160

But the things that affect you,

the things that motivates you,

680

00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,460

the things that caused you

uncertainty are still there to

681

00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:34,280

same psychological triggers.

And all you're doing is trying

682

00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,270

to understand how is this

psychological trigger,

683

00:37:38,270 --> 00:37:41,690

if it's a negative one manifesting

itself in the digital experience,

684

00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:44,480

and then how do I remove that,

or how do I address that or deal with

685

00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,410

it so that I'm removing that fear, I'm incentivizing that

686

00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:50,300

motivation. Right.

And I'm moving them in the same

687

00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:53,930

direction. Yeah. Love it. Yeah.

This this has been a great

688

00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:56,120

conversation.

It's, you know,

689

00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,810

there's a lot here for lots of

people in the organization.

690

00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:03,140

And, you know, I think we've touched

on a couple different roles and

691

00:38:03,140 --> 00:38:07,070

the way they should be thinking

about customer experience,

692

00:38:07,070 --> 00:38:11,660

internally and externally with the

customer, so so thanks for that.

693

00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:14,210

Yeah. No problem.

Thank you for having just a

694

00:38:14,210 --> 00:38:16,490

great conversation.

I love talking about this stuff.

695

00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:20,480

I'm passionate about making sure that

people, get away from thinking

696

00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,390

that the the ad platforms are the

answer to all their problems and,

697

00:38:23,870 --> 00:38:27,590

and really just kind of investing in

the experience that's going to have,

698

00:38:27,590 --> 00:38:29,420

you know, it's going to lift all

the boats, right?

699

00:38:29,420 --> 00:38:31,490

It's just the rising tide that's

going to lift all the boats.

700

00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:33,800

That's right. Well, yeah.

Thanks again for being on.

701

00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,680

If we want to send people your

way to get connected with smart

702

00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,740

Panda Labs or you directly,

where should we send them?

703

00:38:39,740 --> 00:38:43,010

Yeah, they can certainly check

us out at Smart Panel labs.com.

704

00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,460

Or they can check me out on LinkedIn.

They can search by my name.

705

00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:49,340

I suspect I'm probably the only

do so on LinkedIn.

706

00:38:49,340 --> 00:38:51,650

So yes,

I'm pretty pretty easy to find.

707

00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:54,950

And, certainly get some some

more insights into how I think

708

00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:56,780

and feel about things.

And if that jives,

709

00:38:56,780 --> 00:38:59,330

they can feel free to reach out.

That's great. Thanks again.

710

00:38:59,330 --> 00:39:01,700

Shamir, we'll have to have you back.

Thank you so much.

711

00:39:01,790 --> 00:39:02,660

I look forward to it.
