Great content delivered to an engaged audience can be rocket fuel for sales. But when that content is delivered into a vacuum, it’s a waste of talent, effort and money.

In order for content marketing to lead to sales, it has to perpetually attract a growing audience while at the same time educating, engaging and building trust with that audience to convert them to customers. This kind of cycle does not happen automatically, nor does it happen overnight.
