Android manufacturers should love Apple — because Apple drives their demand. I’ve been fascinated by the success of Android based phones, their amazing growth curve, and the ability of the press machine to create hype around Android as the solution for all things mobile.

At my previous company my success was measured by number of leads. If I hit the right number, I was in the clear. If the total lead count was high, I was awesome. If I was short of my lead goal, I had some explaining to do. Makes sense, right? More leads equals more won deals. Management could understand these metrics. It was easy for the VP of Sales to see my results via a dashboard in the CRM system.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.
At this point, most “inside baseball” followers of the revenue performance management space have probably seen Eloqua’s announcement late last week that they are terminating their relationship with The Pedowitz Group (TPG). Eloqua’s stated rationale is that they are an “IP company”, and that, as such, they can only partner effectively if it is on an exclusive basis.
Manish Goel, Chairman of the OTA. To a packed room in the Georgetown University conference center in Washington DC, Manish Goel and Craig Spiezle kick off the Online Trust Alliance’s (OTA) 2010 forum. This packed room demonstrates what a hot topic online trust is right now. With authors like Chris Brogan (Trust Agents) rising up the New York Times best seller lists, marketers are talking about building trust and how to go about doing so.
Every good marketer knows that relevancy matters and matter a lot. People respond to message that are relevant to them. People ignore, or worse, get upset about messages that aren’t relevant. At the Online Trust Alliance summit in Washington DC today, David Daniels of The Relevancy Group took a deep dive on how marketers can be relevant. One area that David zeroed in on was preferences.
The OTA just featured a panel session focusing on trust from a Marketer’s perspective. The panel members listed some good ways that Marketers can build trust in their subscriber bases including: Give users control.

Speaker: Alexa Acosta, Director of Growth Marketing & B2B Marketing Leader
Marketing is evolving at breakneck speed—new tools, AI-driven automation, and changing buyer behaviors are rewriting the playbook. With so many trends competing for attention, how do you cut through the noise and focus on what truly moves the needle? In this webinar, industry expert Alexa Acosta will break down the most impactful marketing trends shaping the industry today and how to turn them into real, revenue-generating strategies.
Some interesting discussion at the OTA today focused on how opt-in is changing. One fascinating change is that the “places” where opt-in happens have greatly expanded. It is no longer the case that people are always sitting at their computers when they opt-in. With the proliferation of mobile, opt-in is now everywhere. A good example is a recent US Airways billboard campaign that gives a phone number to text a message containing your email address to.
Following up on David Daniels’ discussion on what preferences to know about your subscribers, Chip House spoke on when marketers can capture preferences. Of course, a natural place to start capturing preferences is at the time of opt-in. The opt-in moment is great time to ask a subscriber about their category and product interests, the frequency they’d like to receive messages, their location and any other info specific to your business that will enable you to send more relevant message
