The origins of They Ask, You Answer

In 2008, Marcus Sheridan’s Pool Business Was Failing

The Great Recession was spreading, and buyers were getting nervous. With mounting cancellations, his pool business, seemed like it wasn’t going to make it. But Marcus had heard about inbound marketing, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. He set out to answer customer questions — openly and honestly — on his company website.

Question First

Each night after work, he wrote detailed and transparent answers to every common customer question, problem, and concern he had ever heard. Soon, this content started driving traffic. Then, his sales reps started using it with prospects. Potential customers far and wide found their way to River Pools’ website, attracted by Marcus’ clarity and candor. They Ask, You Answer was born.

A Movement Was Born

Now, years later, Marcus preaches the They Ask, You Answer philosophy to companies all over the world, and he has written the bestselling They Ask, You Answer, which has been named the best digital marketing book of all time by Book Authority.

Today, thousands of businesses owe their success to Marcus’ framework that starts with a simple principle: If you obsess over your customers’ questions, problems, and concerns, and if you seek to educate and build trust, customers will buy from you. After all, trust is the common currency of all business.
