2. Here are 7 Keys to B2B Marketing Success:
Keywords
Start here. These are the terms people type into Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. for your products and
1 services. You’ll want to use these keywords in all of the content you create, which will help your
search ranking. Since 7 out of 10 searchers click on organic search, we focus on natural or
organic search and not Pay per Click. Beside, SEO is an asset and PPC is an expense.
Buyer Personas
This refers to deep insights into the afflictions and aspirations of your prospective buyers. The
2 key here is to ask prospective buyers all types of questions. What are their problems? Whom do
they trust? Where do they look for ideas? Where do they find answers to questions? The better
you know them, the more effective you will be at selling them.
Buying Process
3 Buying is a journey – from problem to solution. Think of yourself as a tour guide. You want to lead
them from Problem to Solution. Since you are going to help them on this journey, you better know
the way.
Agreed definition of a Lead
4 Sales is tired of crap leads. Give them what they want. But you need to first agree with them on
what they really want. Talk to sales and ask them. You want a written definition of what is and is
not a lead.
Content Marketing – Think Like a Publisher
Studies show that buyers look for content throughout the process today. You need a consistent,
5 ongoing, multi-channel marketing program. Blog updates, ebooks, white papers, webinars, events,
videos, etc. Use the keywords you chose in Key 1. Come up with a plan, document it and get
going. But don’t ever stop – keep publishing every week. Too many companies give up too soon.
Lead scoring
If you’ve done the previous five steps, traffic is way up. But how do we know when a buyer is
6 ready to hand off to sales? You will only want to give the best leads to Sales. This is where
scoring comes into place. BANT is one key (Budget, Access to Power, Need and Timeframe) but
you also need to rank behaviors – also called “digital body language.” By matching objective
criteria with behavior, you’ll get a 360 degree view of the prospect.
Metrics
7 The only way to know how well we are doing is to measure the results. Come up with a set of
simple metrics to track and measure your process. Think deeply on the business, what you hope
to accomplish and map the journey to those goals, including mile markers (metrics),
