While ‘The Great Resignation’ is a catchy term, it doesn’t capture the multitude of factors impacting employee retention. So what is causing so many to leave their job for other opportunities? Rampant stress and the shift to remote work are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in light of the pandemic. When major life events occur, people often reflect on what is important in life – a phenomenon dubbed the ‘Great Rethink.’

In the second half of 2021, Americans quit their jobs at record pace with about 23% of employees seeking new jobs in 2022 and 9% already securing a new position (Smith). With people in the ‘Great Rethink’ phase, leaders need new strategies to move towards ‘The Great Retention.’

Hear Sofia Roman, Vice Board Chair at WriterCoach Connection, and Anica Solis, Human Resources Manager at Expert Marketing Advisors, discuss the strategies leaders can implement to move away from the Great Resignation and towards the Great Retention.  In this webinar we will explore:

-The internal and external factors driving employees to explore new opportunities
-Actionable strategies to combat current trends and retain top talent
-How to leverage company culture to enhance employee engagement and retention

Combatting the 'Great Resignation' and moving towards the 'Great Retention'

Partnership ecosystems are essential to a business' success. Forrester Research estimates that the Partner Relationship Market is only 50% penetrated and has an addressable market close to $802 million. But a good partner enablement strategy requires integrating it well into your business.

But this often leaves behind a critical audience: the employees who can influence the strategic partnership. 

Business Development and Partner Managers together with Communication teams understand and manage the hidden elements that impact partner programs to ensure its outcomes. As partnership ecosystems evolve and grow, meeting business goals requires new best practices to continually educate employees what the partnership means.

The role of a Marketer is to generate interest and create a pipeline to pass on to the sales team. Most marketers are familiar with tools like HubSpot or Marketo, but these tools often fall short in capturing the entire prospect and client lifecycle from interest to closed-won.

Salesforce is a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) that acts as the swiss army knife of your tech stack. Marketing is just one part of a company’s overall tech stack, and without an integrated CRM, your growing pipeline will quickly become stagnant. A well-established Salesforce Org is the key to monitoring the qualification process, managing prospect/customer communication, and capturing up-to-date data and reporting.

In this webinar, Stacy O’Leary from Quickly Consulting will discuss best practices for implementing Salesforce within your marketing tech stack. 

What You Will Learn: 
-What Salesforce is and why Marketers need it
-How Salesforce integrates with other platforms in your tech stack
-Salesforce terminology and best practices for Marketers
-How to maintain data quality and integrity in your Salesforce Org

Salesforce Best Practices for Marketers

In the midst of the ongoing pandemic, internet use continues to climb. More people are shopping, streaming content, and handling business-to-business operations online. But according to HubSpot findings, 75% of users never go past the first page of search results when looking for what they need. Essentially, if you’re not in the top 10 results, you may as well be invisible on Google. This is why it’s crucial that organizations have a strong SEO strategy in place, so that all eyes—and clicks—are on them.

Join Pete Kever, Founder & President of K6 Digital Marketing, Inc., and Courtney Kehl, Principal at Expert Marketing Advisors, on Thursday, July 22 at 10am PT / 1pm ET for a live discussion on future-proof SEO strategies that drive web traffic and lead generation.
