12 Topic Challenge
I bet you can identify 12 topics for thought leadership content from research you’ve done. If you can’t, plan better in your next research project.
Thought leadership is all about getting the right people to tune in to your content. Research can be a very effective tool to do that, if you plan properly.
Your goal with research shouldn’t be to confirm you’re right — it should be to prove yourself wrong. Thanks to Edison Research VP Tom Webster for inspiring this one.
Good research can not only build your thought leadership through the insights it reveals — simply doing it in the first place helps you build your authority with your thought leadership followers.
Many people who do research with their customers or prospects forget this simple and incredibly valuable step!
Sharing your research project — during development and after results are in — can reap lots of rewards within your organization. Don’t be stingy!
Partners can be an incredibly smart way to gain respondents — and a win/win for both of you.
