Let me start by saying that most channel relationships don’t work. I’ve seen way too many startups spend all their energy getting channel deals done only to find out that they don’t produce ANY revenue.

It’s hard to do, which is why most demand generation advice merely advocates adding another channel or tool to the heap. Don’t expect an outside agency to sacrifice more leads for better leads if they’re hired and fired on quantity. The familiar proverb applies: “No-one ever got fired for hiring IBM.”. This post doesn’t do that.

I’ve been working in PR for close to 15 years, and I still spend more time than I’d like trying to get clients to understand the importance of crisis planning. In most cases, going radio silent on your social media channels or telling a reporter, “No comment,” is a major misstep. You’re using a crisis as a PR ploy.
