INBOUND MARKETING: definition
Inbound Marketing refers to marketing activities that draw visitors in, rather than marketers having to go out to get prospects attention. It's all about earning the attention of customers, making the company easy to find online, and drawing customers to the website by producing interesting, helpful content. By aligning the content you publish with your customer’s interests, you naturally attract inbound traffic that you can then convert, close, and delight over time

MANAGEMENT
Why change?
Your prospects often are unaware that they should consider a different product, service, or vendor. In this phase, don’t talk about your solution or its benefits. Instead, get them to recognize that an issue exists. Share industry insights that help them realize that their peers are experiencing similar costly issues. These insights can help prospects diagnose their own organization and challenges
VALUE PROPOSITION
Why now?
Help the prospect realize that the status quo isn’t just an issue but a real cost and business risk. Provide content that helps them quantify the cost of doing nothing. Give prospects a cost and value examination
VALUE PROPOSITION
Why you?
Each solution has unique advantages, but buyers often don’t notice the subtle differences among competitors. Today’s buyers are drawn to price and value as evaluating criteria. Communicate and quantify how your solution can deliver better business value (e.g., drive cost savings, improve productivity, lower risks, etc.). Show that you have a lower total cost of ownership (over the solution’s useful life cycle), superior ROI and faster payback
