- Em Slide…Before we delve into the 5 Ways the Human Touch can impact marketing performance. I wanted to touch on the buying process and why progression is so important. I’m sure many of you have seen this slide before from Ardath Albee’s eMarketingstratetgies for the Complex Sale. She uses it to discuss content but today I’m going to talk about it in relation to integrating human touchpoints into it.In a complex sale, the process is typically longer. But the buying dynamic has also shifted. In the past, marketing was mainly focused on lead gen and then handed leads to sales when they did anything. Downloading a white paper was cause to hand off to sales. Throwing your business card into a fish bowl at a trade show earned you a sales call as well. And then marketing would step out of the process. Then in recent years, there was a shift in thinking and with the rapid adoption of marketing automation and other marketing technology, the philosophy became, let marketing get leads 70% of the way thru the buying process before a sales reps ever gets on the phone or gets involved. That might be fine if the buying process was linear and worked exactly like this all the time. However, b2b marketing research firm DemandGen Report, 77% of buyers do not follow a traditional buying path. Meaning their online actions may not properly indicate where they are in the buying process. For that reason, once a prospect becomes a known lead, you should integrate human touch points into your lead-to-close process. So Sales should not just show up at the end of the process but rather be an integral part of the entire process. At the end of the day, people buy from people. Technology just helps facilitate it.
- Em Slide….Marketing Automation allows you to communicate with your buyer more effectively based on the information you’ve collected through tracking their online activity, information gathered and reported on by your sales reps and their demographic characteristics that you’ve captured via a landing page or some other sources. It’s all about building relationships with your buyer online and enabling your sales rep to build a better relationship by offering them more insight into their leads interests and pain points.However, the way to get prospects attention is to address their pain points, and provide them with content that they find valuable at that time. Therefore, it’s important to have correct information about them and know where they are in the buying cycle so that you can use your marketing automation platform to nurture them appropriately. Your ability to do this will improve drastically if you have human touch integrated into that process.
- The way to accomplish this through triggers. Marketing automation gives you the ability to let your sales reps or telemarketing team know when an action has been taken… this could be website activity, social sharing, a content download or the attendance of a virtual event. Regardless of where your lead is in the buying cycle, you will increase your overall effectiveness if you use these triggers as signals to integration the human touch. Statistics show that 90% of buyers want their sales person to be more of resource, so it doesn’t mean that your sales person should try and sell to them or control the buying process and move them along… this is building a relationship and it’s a discovery process. As we’re going to discuss today, just as marketing automation helps sales people have better conversations with their prospects, human touch points enables marketers to be more effective marketers and create content that resonates with buyers.
