Very simply, your cost to acquire a customer needs to be lower than the value of that customer (lifetime value).

The average B2B buyer has 27 brand interactions before deciding. Very few, if any, of these interactions are with a sales rep. Because if people are making up their own minds, without coercion from sales, creating demand is the best way to get them to choose you. DGMs see that demand is maintained throughout the sales cycle.

Talk to any B2B marketer about attribution and they’ll either roll their eyes or rant about how it’s important but hard to get right—long lead cycles, multiple contacts from a single organization, etc. The critical touchpoints in B2B are the transition stages in the customer journey: First Touch.

That’s true even among B2B customers who are supposedly more rational than their B2C counterparts. Text content is cheap.

If you’re selling B2B, you know it’s a wide and competitive market. Sorry, but ABM is not B2B, nor is it right for all markets, business models, or companies (just like every company should not be running freemium aka PLG for acquisition.) They won’t magically show up at your doorstep and sign a $100K cheque.

At $25/month for the cheapest plan it’s a bit pricey for a developer who can use one of the options above for little or no cost And although I like their selection of landing page layouts , I wish they had more look-and-feel choices (they launched a few months ago so I imagine they are working on this). 5 Rob on 10.14.10
