Are your paid social campaigns generating the results you want?
B2B (and specifically SaaS) brands may not be able to depend on demand alone. You have to help generate that interest efficiently and effectively to drive qualified leads and positive ROI.
Paid social on LinkedIn and Facebook can help you reach your B2B audience, but it takes skill and finesse to run successful campaigns.
In this SEJ Sponsored webinar you will discover a better approach to paid social for SaaS brands.
During this SEJ Webinar, you will learn:
A scalable paid social approach to generating qualified leads for B2B companies that you can put to work for your brand right away.
How to overcome uniquely B2B challenges in driving leads through paid social channels.
How to use social technology such as Clearbit X and LinkedIn conversation ads to drive qualified leads.
It’s no secret that a strong hook can get leads in the marketing funnel. We’ll explain how incentivization and giving some of your marketing budget to your prospects can drive sales. Curious to see what that looks like?
Join us as Garret Mehrguth, CEO at Directive Consulting, shares how to unlock paid social to drive revenue and turn qualified leads into customers.

LinkedIn Advertising
Using LinkedIn, we can get an idea of our TAM by
utilizing a combination of company names, sizes,
industries, job titles, and seniorities.
Now, we can be confident we are advertising to the
right people at the right companies.

We can separate our TAM by tier and job title. From here, we
can drill down even further within states, industries, etc.
This allows us to craft an ultra specific message to our
target audience. It also allows us to track performance for
each, giving us more insight into which segments are giving
us favorable returns.

Copy and Offer
LinkedIn Advertising
As you can see in our copy, our unique value prop is our strict focus
on software and our offer of a $105 gift card which entices the
prospect to take action.
The incentive here is massively important. Using a gift card gives the
user immediate value while allowing us to get our foot in the door.We
then ask an even more qualifying question before booking the meeting.

Even if these conversations don’t directly turn into bottom-funnel
leads, we can still get them in our database by offering another useful
asset or, in our case, invite to our Slack group of other B2B software
marketers.
This way, we can still provide them value, as well as collecting contact
information from users in our TAM, giving sales some ammo to work with.

21. Single Persona Campaigns
LinkedIn Advertising
Utilizing Single Persona Campaigns allows us to
maximize the potential of our offer by speaking

We can also utilize the demographic reports
within LinkedIn and specifically see what
segments are performing the best.
Using this information, we can then segment
even further, crafting an ultra personalized
message, and bid more aggressively to get in
front of them as often as possible.
If we have the data, the extra effort to
isolate them and personalize their
experience can pay large dividends.
