Your job is not to deliver reports.

@dohertyjfJohn Doherty
If you walk into a room talking about linking root

fail. If you talk the metrics they care about
and your high level plans, you’ll most likely
succeed.

Goal: Make It Easy To Say Yes
@dohertyjfhttp://okdork.com/2012/10/09/make-it-easy-to-say-yes/l
![Page 36: SearchLove Boston 2013_John Doherty_Creating executive support for marketing initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554d0ed8b4c9052c5a8b4f81/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“What Are *Your* Goals?”
@dohertyjfJohn Doherty
The best way to learn what your boss/client wants to hear is to ask them their goals.
Then you can pitch for what you want using the metrics they will resonate with.
“What can I show you that will make you say yes?”
“Can you show me examples of reports you like?”
![Page 37: SearchLove Boston 2013_John Doherty_Creating executive support for marketing initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554d0ed8b4c9052c5a8b4f81/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
High Risk/Low Risk
@dohertyjfGet Executive Management Approval
Low risk are either proven as “fundamentals” and best practices, or have proven valuable for
your company in the past.
High risk are tasks that are either expensive up front, or have no quantifiable ROI before you
complete them.
![Page 38: SearchLove Boston 2013_John Doherty_Creating executive support for marketing initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554d0ed8b4c9052c5a8b4f81/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
High Risk/Low Risk 80/20 Rule
@dohertyjfPareto Principle
You can ask for about 20% of your resources for high risk initiatives. 80% of your resources are dedicated towards the activities that you know
work.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could dedicate 80% of our efforts towards new initiatives?
![Page 39: SearchLove Boston 2013_John Doherty_Creating executive support for marketing initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554d0ed8b4c9052c5a8b4f81/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
High Risk/Low Risk
@dohertyjf
Low Risk/Low Impact is easy to pitch and get approval for, but
will not move the needle significantly.
High Risk/High Impact is harder to say yes to, and should be pitched after
success is shown
Impact
Risk
Low Risk/High Impact is the sweet spot, as it’s easy to say YES and will move the needle.
High Risk/Low Impact is not a good case to pitch.

About 50% of their backlink profile was links from sites with a Domain Authority of under 20. They

@dohertyjf
One of their sites that brought in ~10% of their revenue was hit with a
manual link penalty. CEO was keen to avoid this on
others.

something.
