Advantages of Blog Content Contributions From Sales Perspective
Not much has changed since then, the advantages of having a blog is about the same, plus there are so many new places to promote it now.
We’ve compiled a list of advantages:
1. Drives More Content: More contributors means more people to create content, which is a good thing because research has shown that keeping your blog fresh by publishing content regularly leads to better blogging success.
2. Divides Responsibility: More contributors also means the responsibility of producing a steady stream of new content can be divided among multiple people, meaning the burden doesn’t fall on just one person within your organization. Three cheers for the division of labor!
3. Offers Unique Perspectives: One of the major benefits of Sales’ blog contributions is diverse content from different points of view. Multiple perspectives can help make a blog more dynamic and interesting.
4. Improves Sales’ Industry Knowledge: Tom pointed out to us that because his sales reps blog, they learn more about the sign business in order to craft effective blog articles. As a result, their increased knowledge of the industry has helped them to become more effective salespeople.
5. Generates More Leads and Sales: Tom also notes that his sales team has really bought into the concept because they’ve seen firsthand how blogging can generate more leads and sales. Seeing the results of their efforts motivates them to keep blogging.
