When you’re an organization with multiple product lines, catering to different geographies, with teams spread across the globe, what you get is an endless array of content combinations.

he was fighting an uphill battle

he set out to achieve were:

That’s when they

Landed at Paperflite.

Centralizing content

and ensuring easy content access to Sales teams

Understanding content’s impact on pipeline and

Driving content strategy

Is there any content that I need to push more? Is there anything that needs to be accessible every time? And is there any content I know will help convert.

They turned to                Boards to bring structure to this task of organizing all their content.

What happens when a marketer starts to think like a UX designer when trying to ensure Sales teams have easy access to content?

Chris had to combine his marketing skills and his design skills to find a balance between marketing objectives and user experience.

The team started with a content audit to understand the current content structure. This audit was more than just an inventory check of what content exists and what content needs to be added or created. 

I tried to think of it as a UX designer

he says

to create a logical content structure that would ensure easy content access to specific teams within just two clicks.

The content was then categorized based on three key parameters:

Chris used the Streams function on Paperflite to separate the content by country first, with each country having a separate stream and a global stream for English language assets. This allowed him to cater to the content needs of their diverse teams across countries like Italy, France, and Brazil.

Then, to ensure Sales teams weren’t caught up trying to find content relevant for their region, Chris and the team purposely siloed content available in each market.

for example: the French team not being able to access Italian assets.

Then comes the next variable - Product Line MINT.AI has two main software products:
MINT ARM Enterprise and MINT ARM Retail.

For each product, Chris and his team created specific groups labeled by the product and the specific country.

They also curated assets that were relevant to both products and placed them at the same level as the product groups. These included interproposition content, like a video introduction to advertising resource management, pertinent to the enterprise and retail products.

Easy content access? Check. Fewer decisions for Sales? Check

GOAL

Leading a small, tight-knit team, Chris prioritized efficiency and quality over quantity in content creation and maintenance. 

The goal was to understand what content resonated with their target audience with the help of data and then go back and optimize their content and make it more efficient.

After rolling out Paperflite, Chris and the team quickly understood that the BDRs found a particular set of content pieces really useful: an introductory video about their Advertising Resource Management (ARM) solution and a simple one-pager emerged as the frequently used and shared assets for initial conversations with prospects.

And during the follow-ups, the Sales team was also re-sharing social media content with the prospects - say, a short video or a Linkedin carousel - using Paperflite, enabling them to track prospect engagement and buying readiness.

Then, after demo calls with prospects, the team shares the presentations shown during the calls (exported as PDFs) and includes videos and recordings of the demo call.

With such rich insights in hand

Chris could effectively discern what content resonated most with their teams. This enabled a more focused and efficient content production tailored to their audience’s preferences.

The engagement metrics also helped them identify which pieces, or even specific slides, required updates. Once identified, Chris and his team could swiftly incorporate changes. The beauty of this process was that these updates seamlessly reflected in the shared content, eliminating the need to resend it. This strategy kept their content fresh and up-to-date without wasting precious time.

This ease in the content update process

ensured that MINT.AI’s messaging remained consistent and relevant, even when their positioning went through changes.

As a PMM, customer insights are your bread and butter.

You could get them from your friends in the Customer Success teams or the Sales teams.

But what would a world look like where you have tangible content engagement data that tells you how much time was spent on a slide and what content pieces are driving sales conversations? 

That’s precisely what Chris and the team have been able to achieve with Paperflite. The comprehensive reporting dashboard has become a one-stop shop for Chris and the marketing team to understand content consumption by Sales teams and prospect consumption as well.

This has allowed Chris to track and measure content engagement and performance at a granular level.

Post Paperflite implementation, Chris says the Sales teams have found it easy to access all the relevant content and package them into a Collection or a content microsite and share it with the prospects with ease instead of having to send content as five links in emails, without any restrictions on file type and size. 

“An unexpected benefit,” Chris says, “has been getting called out by prospects for the kind of content experience we were able to provide. We are not here to do what’s best for ourselves. We are here to make the lives of prospects easier. And well, that helps us sell more.”
