Many successful B2B companies are embracing the idea of working smarter, not harder. It's become clear that there must be a better solution than casting a wide net with your marketing efforts to herd leads into your funnel and hoping that one or two will emerge as customers at the other end. Now, sellers are adopting Account-Based Marketing (ABM) as their strategy of choice. Seven out of ten marketers use ABM, and 87% say that it outperforms their other marketing...
For many years, marketers had a dependable solution to serve online content to their audience: web-based Content Management Systems (CMS). Now, marketers are finding that CMS is a product of its time. CMS was built around the assumption that most people were browsing their internet on desktop PCs and laptops, doggedly plugging in search keywords and reading static web content. Unfortunately for CMS users, legacy web pages built with legacy systems are not driving conversions in 2022. The user experience...
In a world where most marketers put more effort into video campaigns, webinars, and identifying new opportunities to reach their clients, it's fair to ask, "Is email still a good marketing strategy?" Surprisingly, the answer is still yes, it is. The oldest online messaging channel is still the most effective. Need proof? There are about 4 billion people who use email daily and it will reach 4.6 billion by 2025. The email marketing market continues to grow and is expected...
Seven out of ten B2B buyers use the seller's website as a resource when they're researching a purchase. Websites can look pretty, load fast, and be full of exciting content, but none of these things are going to drive conversions for B2B sellers unless they're part of a coherent B2B website strategy. A strategy ensures that your website isn't just a pleasant diversion for buyers on the journey toward purchasing your product or service. Your strategy determines how and when...
While there may be bountiful customer data sources all around us, it's not always easy to find meaningful signals amidst all the noise. The accuracy and relevance of data are a significant concern. 72% of organizations are convinced that data quality issues affect how their customers trust and perceive them. Rich, high-quality customer data is needed for your sales team to make deep customer connections that convert. While basic tools like lead capture forms can help you amass reliably accurate...
By 2025, 60% of B2B companies will have fully adopted a data-driven approach to sales. But even among sellers that have already made this transition, data is not always being used to its full potential. While nearly nine out of ten B2B companies say that data quality is an important factor in their sales and marketing decisions, only 38% are leading with account-based marketing campaigns that rely on high-quality data and effective personalization. To succeed in the modern B2B marketplace,...
We've all heard the plaintive cry of the frustrated shopper stuck in customer service purgatory: "I just want to talk to a real human!" It's a relatable sentiment, but one you can expect to hear less and less of in the years ahead. AI-powered automation is becoming increasingly sophisticated and helpful – and not just for dealing with basic customer service inquiries. Even in the challenging environment of B2B, AI chatbots are finding use in sales and marketing applications. There,...
Debates about information gathering and privacy on the web may be far from over, but let's face it. The big data genie is out of the bottle, and he's not going back in anytime soon. Buyers have come to expect and appreciate marketing approaches that recognize them as unique individuals. That's especially true in B2B contexts, where long sales cycles and highly deliberative purchasing processes are the norm. In fact, personalized calls to action are more than 200% more effective...
There are occasions in life where it pays to get up, toss out your plans, and just go with the moment. Making B2B sales is not one of them. B2B selling is challenging. The stakes are higher, sales cycles are long, leads can be hard to come by – and when you do get a lead, you're dealing with multiple decision-makers when you try to close it. To succeed in B2B sales, you need a good strategy, and you need...
There's no question that Account-Based Marketing has brought together sales and marketing programs. Account-Based Marketing (ABM) offers the personalization your customers need. Last week, we spoke with CATO Networks, a cloud-based security and network program, about their growth with ABM. Founded about five years ago, CATO has already acquired over 800 enterprise customers in 100 countries and has over 200,000 mobile users. Marketers Can’t Control the World. Unfortunately. Different people consume content in different ways. After tracking customer journeys for...
