The field of marketing is going through continuous shifts driven by technological advancements, changing consumer behaviours and upcoming trends. To survive in this fast and competitive profession, marketers must keep themselves updated and adapt to each new challenge they face. Future-proofing your marketing career involves continuous learning and cultivating a versatile skill set.

When it comes to marketing, Sales Qualified Leads (SQL) generation is a critical function that requires a blend of technical skills, customer understanding and strategic thinking. Interestingly, marketers who have made their way from the contact centres often possess unique advantages that make them particularly effective at SQL generation.

This blog discusses how the skills developed in a contact centre translate into superior SQL generation capabilities and why marketers with this background can excel in any sector, despite the fierce competition.

When I started out in marketing, I worried that I wasn’t extraverted enough, wasn’t fashionable and preferred a good book over a cocktail party.

Since then, marketing has changed and the ‘nerdier’ marketers are fast becoming the rock stars due to results they derive for their clients, and the ‘fashionable’ lot are seen more as events specialists or publicists. Now, that’s a stereotype, of course, but the gist of it is that things have changed over the past three decades and what was once considered to be ‘cool’ is no longer the case.

It's that time of year again where business leaders are conducting performance reviews.

When you have a marketing agency, it is imperative that you understand the very different dynamics between marketers and other roles within a company. Fundamentally, marketers are very different and like most professions, tend to have triggers that keep their performance at a high, and others that send them in a downward spiral.

Every marketer has tricks up their sleeve. If they didn't, they are not trying hard enough. Having been a marketing consultant for many years, I have had the pleasure of rolling up my sleeve and showing the world (well, mostly people in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney) how they too can use some of the tricks of the trade to accelerate their marketing reach.

Travelling from Sydney to Melbourne each week in between taking the trek from Australia to the US on a regular basis, I get to spend a lot of time thinking. Mostly I think about business, which may be boring for most, but what the heck...it's who I am and I won't apologise.

Every top-notch marketer knows that they as good as they may be, they will never know it all. It's impossible. Marketing is changing every day. Reading sentiment of target markets change rapidly. What is good today, may not be good tomorrow and so on.

But there is a list of things that brilliant marketers do that really make them standout from the the rest.

89 days, 16 countries, 6 different languages and a lifetime experience. It's safe to say these past three months were nothing short of an absolute blast, but travelling was honestly more than that, it was an incredible lifetime opportunity filled with lessons and one of kind experiences one can only imagine.  

You may have read that robots will not replace marketers - and I am going to tell you now, in this blog, that largely they will. Marketing as a profession will change in the next 12 month to 2 years so dramatically, that everyone will need to re-invent themselves and companies that are still selling the same old marketing skill set, will find that they no longer have a business.
