I have spoken to many B2B organizations lately about Social Media. Many held the position that they were unclear as to how to start or whether Social Media is even “right” for B2B organizations. Of course it is “right”, but how will differ for any one organization. There are many ways to tweak your engagement [...]

Ego-Based Keywords
Have you ever sat staring at your computer screen trying to think of keywords? Or have you been asked to come up with essential keywords for your company? To come up with the right keywords, you need to know how people will look for you. I was recently watching a demo from Compendium and they [...]

I was just reading a blog post http://www.briansolis.com/2009/07/the-influencers-dilemma-the-battle-for-mindshare-amid-media-turmoil/ and what I had to say was too long for the comment section. So here we go… But its not just about social media – its all about how you connect with the world. Let’s look at old-school brick and mortar (had to use it). When stores [...]

Whitepapers and Lead Generation
I was just reading an article on MarketingProfs in November 2008. The article says that only 5% of people will download whitepapers from your website when confronted with a form. At Oshyn, we have a straight forward form and we’ve had many downloads of our whitepapers. Yet in the MarketingProfs article it claims that Documetrics [...]

does cold calling still work?
When I worked in sales and business development for Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank and Mutual of America – everyone was always yaking about the # of calls they made. Cold calls. Cold calls and more cold calls. All these companies bought lead lists and distributed them to us as “gold mines”. It often seemed like [...]

blogging as a business strategy
Today I watched a webinar by Compendium about blogging strategies. First, I was pleased that much of what I’ve stood behind in blogging was true. But mostly, Compendium’s tool and own blog site are impressive! Since the beginning of 2009 they’ve seen a 90% increase in Lead Generation from their blog. That’s amazing. Blogging creates [...]

Twitter for Business
http://twitter.com/Oshyn_Inc It’s not all about you. You need to engage in other’s conversations and share information. Building a following takes time.

Will Bing Bring Bill Bling?
Yesterday I was ‘bing’-ing away to check out the search results for Oshyn. There’s a pretty big difference in some of the listings in bing, google and yahoo. Not to mention that “bing” has only ONE syllable and ONE vowel. I thought there was some Web 2.0 rulebook that said all internet brands needed 3 [...]

I was just reading a blog post on CMSMyth by George. He was sharing impactful quotes from a recent conference. One that struck me as a CMS user was, “As long as you are using Word, I can’t help you.” This is a problem with many CMS systems – and yet there are few solutions offered [...]
