Has the rise of digital, social and mobile technologies affected your marketing organization?
In response to these rapid changes in the way everyone on the planet gets and processes information, governments, businesses and individuals are all facing the challenges of adapting to continuous change.
As organizations seek to differentiate themselves, Marketing has taken on a more prominent role in many organizations. Simple advertising campaigns and tactical approaches to gain new customers are no longer enough. CMOs see the need to define the vision and path to real marketing transformation.
Why? Because business innovation cycles have sped up. Communication happens across the globe in milliseconds Customers expect real-time service and support. All while the global, political and economic landscapes have become more complex. As a result, CMOs need new skills.
Earlier this month, Caren Fleit and Brigitte Morel-Curran from Korn-Ferry released “The transformative CMO: Three must-have competencies to meet the growing demands placed on marketing leaders.” (No registration required.)
Caren and Brigitte argue that today’s CMO must move beyond brand-building and “voice of the customer” to become strategic leaders who carry the weight of delivering quantifiable business results. They must think more broadly than ever before. And they need the skills (and the relationships) to drive change across the organization. To become a transformative CMO or marketing executive, you need to acquire 3 new competencies:
3 Competencies Required For Marketing Transformation
The report defines the 3 skills required for marketing transformation as:
- Creating the New and Different: more than just the ability to “create new ideas” this skill requires the acumen to manage the innovation process and implement chang.e
- Focusing on Action and Outcomes: requires the ability to make decisions with “incomplete data” that have the largest potential to impact the bottom line.
- Inspiring Others: transformative marketing leaders understand the importance of “compelling vision, commitment, and superior communication” in a diverse work force.
After seeing the report, I reached out to SAP’s CMO, Jonathan Becher (@jbecher) who is leading the marketing transformation effort here at SAP. Jonathan also speaks and writes quite a bit about the need for marketing transformation. Jonathan agreed with the main points of the report but added “the one thing that might be missing is Culture. You know I believe Culture eats strategy.”
In What Every CEO Should Expect From Their CMO, Jonathan mirrors the need to create “the new and the different” by capitalizing on insights. Jonathan says “For the first time, marketing has the ability to get a view of customers in real time. Jonathan also suggests marketing leaders “inspire others” by not just “representing the voice of the market,” by being “the champion of the overall experience” and the “brand steward” but also by being an “integrator and force multiplier across the company.”
Finally, Jonathan agreed with the need for a “focus on actions and outcomes” in Three Must Dos For The Modern Marketer where he recommends marketers “measure what matters.” Jonathan states “I believe we should track outcome metrics, not activities.”
Now it’s your turn…what skills do you think are required for marketing leaders to drive transformation across our businesses?
========================================================================================== The Secret to Getting Really Good at Promoting Referral Items
1. You’ve got to have a website or a blog, of course, the easiest and most practical way to promote referral items.
2. With this in place, join various network sites hosting merchants' products/services. There's usually no charge. You join; you get your own referral link code, so that you can send people to the destination with your own code branded into it. This way, the merchant can determine that the sale was originated by you and you earn a commission.
3. Choose from the more popular sites for information and/or hard products or services. Many of the products or services offer very generous commissions.
4. You can also examine the links that appears on the label in this page and join the sites. We have spent the time and put in much effort to create for you something extraordinary!

5. Once you joined, just do a search in the network company to find your favorite product/service.
6. Grab your code and promotional creative, text, banners, etc.
7. Place the link on your website.
8. Go ahead and promote your website. You should get many visitors to your website in order to be able to get enough sales.
9. Do a review of the product/service of your website and make a recommendation. A very good way is to review products/services and point out their pros and cons and rate them according to their quality.
10. Even better is to have your own experience with that product/service and share it with your visitors.
11. Only a small number of your visitors are likely to follow your advice and buy and this also provided that you've done an honest and good job promoting it.
12. You should take a look from time to time in the stats in your account at the network company to see how you perform. The good thing is that you don't necessarily have to deal with the merchants. You can just join a reliable and reputable network hosting the products/services and doing all the work for you.
With any new start up company you are at risk if the company doesn’t make it. Plain and simple. If you focus on promoting only one product, service, affiliate program or business opportunity and it doesn’t sell or the company goes down – you have nothing!
