The 7 Rules for the Connected B-to-B Marketer

One-off B2B marketing campaigns are knocking on death’s door. Without an integrated approach, marketing communications are increasingly ineffective and can actually result in falling sales. Smart marketers are discovering the benefits of incorporating connected content into their campaigns to deliver a contextual experience that facilitates the buying process. Today’s most successful marketers rely less on company-focused outbound marketing and instead, provide content that helps buyers buy.

The age of the connected marketer has arrived, so start relating to your customer and not only to your offerings.

Watch On Demand

Join the panel with me, Scott Mersy from Genius.com and Craig Rosenberg from Tippit, Inc. to discover the 7 rules of the connected business-to-business marketer, and you’ll also learn:

  • New buyer dynamics relegate marketers to “ombudsmen” roles—what does that mean for your demand generation strategy
  • To stop relying solely on your marketing department for creating content, let your mavens show your audience how to solve business challenges
  • What buyer-centric content looks like across the decision process, and how it contrasts with traditional vendor-focused messages
  • How to help buyers navigate the buying process by providing relevant content at each step
  • How to track and respond appropriately to any marketing channel

Does Your Lead Nurturing Power Sales? 5 Simple Steps to Pump Up Your Pipeline

Everyone knows the real proof that marketing works shows up when prospects and customers buy. The science of quantifying marketing’s contribution to sales wins is still evolving even while your prospects are taking control of how they buy.

The Web has jumped squarely in between your sales team and your customers, delaying conversations and even eliminating the need for many of the early-stage discussions that used to establish 1-to-1 relationships from the start. This is where lead nurturing, optimized with marketing automation, steps in to help produce prospects with a higher propensity to buy.

Your nurturing programs will power more sales when you:

  • Tune nurturing programs on the fly to produce even more sales opportunities.
  • Initiate online dialogues that nudge prospects toward the next buying stage.
  • Use auto response emails to let prospects know you’re listening—without scaring them.
  • Reduce the effort salespeople must expend to initiate high-value sales conversations.
  • Re-engage and restart nurturing for leads not yet ready to buy.

Join me with Felicity Wohltman, VP of Marketing for Genius.com for part 3 in the series of instructional webinars where we’ll help you optimize your nurturing programs to keep sales out selling.
