22. Non-Linear Sales Cycle
âConsumers no longer move neatly from one touch point to the next, from
branding to promotion to sales. Instead, they snack on a dizzying array of digital
content delivered through a dizzying array of devices. They share ideas about
products, companies and brands, with their brand awareness & purchase
consideration formed by their peers as by a national branding campaign.â
Clark Kokich, former CEO, Avenue A | Razorfish

Editor's Notes
This slide is for display to the audience to show them how they will vote on your polls in your presentation. You can remove this slide if you like or if the audience is already comfortable with texting and/or voting with Poll Everywhere.Sample Oral Instructions:Ladies and gentlemen, throughout todayâs meeting weâre going to engage in some audience polling to find out what youâre thinking, what youâre up to and what you know. Now Iâm going to ask for your opinion. Weâre going to use your phones to do some audience voting just like on American Idol.So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent. You can participate by sending a text message.This is a just standard rate text message, so it may be free for you, or up to twenty cents on some carriers if you do not have a text messaging plan. The service we are using is serious about privacy. I cannot see your phone numbers, and youâll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. Thereâs only one thing worse than email spam â and thatâs text message spam because you have to pay to receive it!
