B2B, for example, hasn’t even even really started as a category yet. But it’s arguably even harder in a place where there aren’t ready distribution channels. But for B2B, for example, decision makers for older businesses can’t be found easily online. 3) B2B requires selling to other startups This brings me to my next point.

As techies and nerds, we tend to believe in the utopians promise of technology enabling, at the very least, automation, and at the very best, intelligence. Essentially a pricing ceiling is created when we forgo a sales person for a self service transactional funnel instead. Sales Cycle.

Far more common is a need to acquire customers through a series of steps like SEO, SEM, PR, Social Marketing, direct sales, channel sales, etc. Some of the early B2B pioneers in this space were companies like JBoss ( story here ), SolarWinds, ConstantContact, HubSpot, etc. Consider every possible way to minimize this.

Part of getting the timing right is understanding your sales cycle and your customers. If you’re a B2B, you have a longer sales cycle, and a company’s decision to purchase your product or service likely has to go through an internal approval process. However, there are other channels out there.

It’s not a channel, campaign, or tactic. ABM is a full-court press to build powerful engagement with contacts on the channels that they’re most active. Sales and marketing collaborate until a deal is closed and beyond to secure long-term customer retention. Individuals don’t make B2B buying decisions; groups do.

For example, if multiple users from a company (usually identified by IP) are reading about how to reduce their corporate real estate footprint, it may flag that company as a strong prospect for a seller of space management technology. That’s only one segment of the B2B market. That same data is also used for later follow up.

The key reason was that in the B2B environment they were in, the buyers had changed. The way a new customer was acquired wasn’t just through a single channel but spread across. As we move into the new social era, companies are closely examining the changing role of sales and refining techniques to succeed in the B2B realm.

To begin with, let’s illustrate the sales process with a simple graphic of the funnel that comes from an excellent post on Stratechery about marketing channels. That is because good sales people are very expensive and means that you have to maximise the use of your sales team’s time, making everyone a productivity ninja.

If leads-based B2B marketing is fishing with a net, ABM is using a harpoon. 2,320 sign-ups; 39% of attendees were net new accounts; 34 sales-qualified opportunities; 5 new customers immediately converted with LTV of over $100k each (normally a 9 to 12 month sales cycle). Results of iRidium’s ABM efforts.

The biggest shortcoming being that it considers the sales cycle to be a linear process where a customer passes sequentially through sales steps and where he/she is the only one involved in the decision making process. There are many different channels now – attribution is the real b h. Or all of their touch points.

In my case (LucidEra -- a SaaS analytics provider focusing on sales, marketing, and financial analytics), weve found that success requires not only building some best practices for analytics into our solution, but also coming up with a repeatable and scalable way to show the customer how to use the analytics and how to interpret the results.
