Recommendations
Your 90-day plan
Days 1–30
Get more out of a piece you already have
| Your answers |
|
|---|---|
| Why it matters | You've created some really interesting, expert-led long-form content. Have you considered repurposing it into short-form clips, or using the transcripts to create a supporting e-book? |
| Action | Pick your best recent piece and actively promote it for four weeks on Website / organic search plus one supporting channel, reusing it only where it helps. |
| How you'll know it's working | You can name who engaged and whether they match your target audience. |
Days 31–60
Commit to publishing less, but more reliably
| Your answers |
|
|---|---|
| Why it matters | When content regularly slips, the rest of the plan suffers. A smaller plan you stick to beats a bigger one you don't. |
| Action | Cut the plan back to what the team can manage for three months, give each piece a named owner and a date, and keep one slot a week free for making content. |
| How you'll know it's working | At least 9 in 10 planned pieces go out on time for two months in a row. |
Agree early signs of progress for long sales cycles
| Why it matters | When buyers take months to decide, or you can't track every step, it's hard to prove content led to a sale. Agreeing early signs of progress lets you show it's working before revenue comes in. |
|---|---|
| Action | Pick two or three early signs (for example, target companies engaging with your content, or sales mentioning it in conversations) and note them each month, along with what buyers tell you. |
| How you'll know it's working | You track the same signs every month for three months in a row. |
Make content that moves prospects through the pipeline
| Your answers |
|
|---|---|
| Why it matters | Your content is heavily weighted towards top-of-funnel activity. How is it nurturing prospects through the pipeline once they know who you are? |
| Action | Work directly with your sales team to list the questions and objections customers raise, then turn the most common ones into FAQs, explainers and customer stories sales can send. |
| How you'll know it's working | Sales are sending your content to prospects in live deals. |
Days 61–90
Review what changed and decide the next quarter
| Your answers |
|
|---|---|
| Why it matters | A 90-day plan is only useful if you check whether the changes worked before committing to more. |
| Action | Check progress against the measures set in this plan, keep what moved engaged target-audience readers and unprompted sales or customer references, and drop at least one activity that did not. |
| How you'll know it's working | A short written decision on what to continue, change and stop. |
