How to Create Sales Enabled Content

By Amy Silberman

Creating content is one of the most important things you can do to further your business. However, not all content is created equal and spending time on the wrong kinds of content can leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed with no results to show.

In today’s world of AI generated commodity content, sales enabled content that solves your customers’ problems is what you should be striving for.

This content can be used effectively in a variety of ways across your organization to help you and your team establish themselves as thought leaders and industry experts.

However, industry subject matter experts are not typically content marketing writers (this is ok!) and asking you or your team to set aside time to write effective sales enabled content is not ideal.

You have the expert knowledge but getting it on paper the right way is simply not in your wheelhouse or you don't have the time to dedicate to creating it the right way.

We have come across this problem many times and the best way we have found to deal with it is to pull all that expert knowledge from your Subject Matter Expert's heads through a content interview.

We then use the content marketing skills in our wheelhouse to put that knowledge into action by creating sales enabled content for your team to use.
