Marketing was primarily for branding, as few Sellers understood how Marketing could be used in other ways to grow their businesses. Today, B2B selling has changed drastically.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger the sales organization, the faster the company grew\u2014or so everyone thought. Cost of sales were expected to fall within the range of 20% to 40%; no one really seemed to know how much it should be.<\/p>\n<p>Sales reps were taught how to present their products, how to \u201cget in the door,\u201d, get past the gatekeepers, handle objections, and always be trying to close. That was all they were taught or expected to know.<\/p>\n<p>There were always one or two great sales reps that made the effort to study their customers\u2019 businesses, competitors, and changing demographics and regulations, making it their business to be experts on their market space. Their customers valued them and regularly gave them business because they trusted their judgement. And although these sales reps brought in the lion\u2019s share of sales each year, they didn\u2019t seem to know much about the features of the products they sold. Still, B2B sales continued to revolve around aggressively getting in the door, taking charge of the sale situation, and focusing on features.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers hated this process and thought it was a colossal waste of their time, but their options for getting information they needed were limited. They would entertain a parade of sales reps in hopes of finding the one who truly understood their needs and could help them. At the same time, Buyers learned to screen and keep out the time suckers.<\/p>\n<p>Then the Internet\u2014and Google\u2014happened. That changed everything. Buyers no longer had to see sales reps to find information\u2014they just googled it. And while Sellers struggled to adjust, The Great Recession occurred and changed the future of B2B Selling.<\/p>\n<p>Companies enacted stringent procedures to control purchasing, which put the Head of Purchasing in a strategic role.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>There was no longer a single \u201cdecision maker.\u201d One person would sign the contract in the end, but only after significant input and buy-in from many stakeholders\u2014as many as 17, according to research by IDG. In addition, 77% of Buyers now conduct more detailed ROI analysis prior to a decision.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s Buyers fully control their own buying journey:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior management identifies some key initiatives and assigns one or more execs to head that. That exec then assembles a team, breaks down the initiative, and assigns portions to individuals or team members who are to conduct research and report back.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In almost all cases, those tasked with researching and reporting back are younger\u2014typically under 40\u2014and immediately go online to conduct their research.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These young people don\u2019t care about the older, established brands\u2014they just google and begin reading and organizing their findings.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then they report back. Their boss works with them to assemble a short list of potential solutions and asks one or more to reach out to the vendors and arrange a meeting.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the seller requirements is analysis on ROI and payback period. Sellers that provide that information have a strong chance of being invited, while those that don\u2019t likely won\u2019t make the cut.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What this means for you is that if you don\u2019t have sufficient, mobile friendly digital content \u00a0that helps these digital natives answer their research questions\u2014including ROI\u2014you practically don\u2019t exist for them. Your brand will no longer guarantee success.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are not found by these digital natives, then you are not on the short list that your target \u201cdecision maker\u201d sees.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t just end there. If the \u201cdecision maker\u201d reaches out and asks, \u201cHey, do you know these guys?\u201d, the answer has to be, \u201cYeah, I read something interesting about them\u2026\u201d to get further up the list.<\/p>\n<p>That is how Buyers now want to buy. The question is, what is your strategy for aligning how you sell to how your customers want to buy?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>The Future of B2B Sales: Content Driven Account Based Marketing<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>As we have seen above, Buyers today manage their own buying journey and want to engage Sellers <b>by invitation only<\/b>. To get invited, Sellers must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Buyer\u2019s situation. The best way for Sellers to demonstrate this is through comprehensive digital content that the Buyer can easily find and review.<\/p>\n<p>The right B2B selling process today is one that fully aligns with how Buyers want to buy by facilitating their journey, rather than attempting to control the process.<\/p>\n<p>The Account Based Marketing strategy considers this a top of funnel, middle of funnel, and bottom of funnel content strategy that naturally invites the Buyer deeper and deeper into your content world.<\/p>\n<p>Different types of content address different needs and appeal to different types of stakeholders. Remember that today\u2019s Buying team can consist of as many as a dozen or more stakeholders, each with a unique set of concerns, needs, and issues that must be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>White papers provide a holistic understanding of the changes occurring in the industry, what they mean, and how to mitigate the risks of these changes while taking advantage of the opportunities. Videos provide a different but related narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Even with white papers, you want to distinguish between a C-level and a Stakeholder paper. The C-suite white paper must be a business paper that shows how your product can cut costs by automating an otherwise labor intensive business process, or how it can increase revenues by helping operations managers identify assets that are not fully utilized.<\/p>\n<p>Your technical white paper informs technical stakeholders such as CIO, CTOs, or Directors of DevOps on how your product integrates with existing systems, is highly secure, and provides software to facilitate installation and integration\u2014things that these folks care most about.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to cover your intended audiences\u2019 concerns and needs in a variety of formats so that they all come to the conclusion you want\u2014contacting one of your sales reps for a meeting.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Campaign<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Assets used<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Goal<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Top of Funnel<\/td>\n<td>Website; LinkedIn; White papers; videos; blogs;<\/td>\n<td>Provide useful information to the reader to intrigue, interest, and begin the engagement as a trusted source of useful information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Middle of Funnel<\/td>\n<td>Targeted articles; webinars; product videos; ROI analysis<\/td>\n<td>Provide deeper information to win the position of a trusted thought leader<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bottom of Funnel<\/td>\n<td>Case studies; pilot studies<\/td>\n<td>Increase the prospects trust and commitment level by providing additional evidence of effectiveness of solution.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/somametrics.com\/clone\/the-four-critical-steps-of-content-driven-abm\/\">here<\/a> to read about the four critical steps of content driven ABM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The End of B2B Selling As We Know It B2B selling has changed\u2014forever.
