The Biggest Fear of a Marketer

The biggest fear of any marketer is:

  1. Not being able to reach the right contacts?

It doesn't really matter whether you make it with a marketing database or not. What matters is whether you make it.

But what makes marketing databases important? It is efficiency and ease. You can do more in lesser time. That is only if your database is of top quality. And how do you know that? Well, the only way to know about a database is to test it. Perhaps stress test it!

So what is your homework today?

  1. To get a free sample data set for whatever business purpose you have
  2. To stress test it by contacting the given contacts (for survey only)
  3. And if you care, provide a feedback - on if it made you happy, angry or excited (in either way)

Now, companies, no matter how huge, can power their facilities with Bloom Energy installations. Clean energy is finally here, but what about foolproof data? One thing's for sure: If your data business has to earn money that is enough to install a Bloom Energy power box, it better does some genuinely good business. Innovative approaches are seldom effective, unless they are both, timely and targeted. It simply means that a new algorithm may hardly work as expected. It is the little tweaks that you
