| b2b content marketing funnel: B2B Content Marketing and Buyer Stage. How to Engage Website Visitors with Appropriate Content Kim-Cheyenne Greiner, 2020-10-26 Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,2, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This Master's thesis explores whether there are content stimuli that are best suited to a specific stage of the customers' buying cycle. In other words, is there a connection between the engagement of website visitors and their current stage within the buying cycle? To study this relationship, an external webpage of IBM and its sub-pages are used to analyze webpage visitors' click and scroll behavior and to assess their interest in the presented content assets. The exploratory investigation was undertaken based on three online surveys with a total sample of 234 participants. The age of classical advertising is over. The introduction of digital technology and the spread of the Internet have led to radical changes in the way companies meet the expectations and interests of their stakeholders. In digital communication, content marketing plays a major role in achieving business benefits. In fact, valuable B2B content marketing initiatives can drive website traffic, customer engagement, and inbound leads, which yield sales and retain customers. In the context of this digital environment, companies increasingly aim to provide relevant, engaging content assets to acquire new leads and create business benefits. This raises the following question: What digital content assets encourage website visitor engagement and how does this relate to customer progress in the B2B buying cycle? According to the literature, content that is consistent, timely and contains exclusivity messages that matter to the target audience lead to engagement. However, engagement is obviously dependent on individual customer needs, motives, and goals. It should, therefore, be interesting for companies to know how to turn their website visits into engaged visits, but research on engagement combined with content marketing is scarce—especially in the B2B context. |

| b2b content marketing funnel: Killing Marketing: How Innovative Businesses Are Turning Marketing Cost Into Profit Joe Pulizzi, Robert Rose, 2017-09-08 Killing your current marketing structure may be the only way to save it! Two of the world’s top marketing experts reveal the next level of breakthrough success—transforming your marketing strategy into a standalone profit center. What if everything we currently know about marketing is what is holding us back? Over the last two decades, we’ve watched the entire world change the way it buys and stays loyal to brands. But, marketing departments are still operating in the same, campaign-centric, product-led operation that they have been following for 75 years. The most innovative companies around the world have achieved remarkable marketing results by fundamentally changing their approach. By creating value for customers through the use of owned media and the savvy use of content, these businesses have dramatically increased customer loyalty and revenue. Some of them have even taken it to the next step and developed a marketing function that actually pays for itself. Killing Marketing explores how these companies are ending the marketing as we know it—in favor of this new, exciting model. Killing Marketing provides the insight, approaches, and examples you need to understand these disruptive forces in ways that turn your marketing from cost center to revenue creator. This book builds the case for, literally, transforming the purpose of marketing within your organization. Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose of the Content Marketing Institute show how leading companies are able sell the very content that propels their marketing strategy. You’ll learn how to: * Transform all or part of your marketing operation into a media company * Integrate this new operation into traditional marketing efforts * Develop best practices for attracting and retaining audiences * Build a strategy for competing against traditional media companies * Create a paid/earned media strategy fueled by an owned media strategy Red Bull, Johnson & Johnson, Disney and Arrow Electronics have succeeded in what ten years ago would have been deemed impossible. They continue to market their products as they always have, and, through their content-driven and audience-building initiatives, they drive value outside the day-to-day products they sell—and monetize it directly. Killing Marketing rewrites the rules of marketing—enabling you to make the kind of transition that turns average companies into industry legends. |
| b2b content marketing funnel: Conversational Marketing David Cancel, Dave Gerhardt, 2019-01-30 Real-time conversations turn leads into customers Conversational Marketing is the definitive guide to generating better leads and closing more sales. Traditional sales and marketing methods have failed to keep pace with the way modern, internet-savvy consumers purchase goods and services. Modern messaging apps, which allow for real-time conversations and instant feedback, have transformed the way we interact in our personal and professional lives, yet most businesses still rely on 20th century technology to communicate with 21st century customers. Online forms, email inquiries, and follow-up sales calls don’t provide the immediacy that modern consumers expect. Conversational marketing and sales are part of a new methodology centered around real-time, one-on-one conversations with customers via chatbots and messaging. By allowing your business to communicate with customers in real time—when it’s most convenient for them—conversational marketing improves the customer experience, generates more leads, and helps you convert more leads into customers. Conversational Marketing pioneers David Cancel and Dave Gerhardt explain how to: Merge inbound and outbound tactics into a more productive dialog with customers Integrate conversational marketing techniques into your existing sales and marketing workflow Face-to-face meetings, phone calls, and email exchanges remain important to customer relations, but adding a layer of immediate, individual conversation drives the customer experience—and sales—sky-high. |

| b2b content marketing funnel: Talk Triggers Jay Baer, Daniel Lemin, 2018-10-02 Talk Triggers is the definitive, practical guide on how to use bold operational differentiators to create customer conversations, written by best-selling authors and marketing experts Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin. Word of mouth is directly responsible for 19% of all purchases, and influences as much as 90%. Every human on earth relies on word of mouth to make buying decisions. Yet even today, fewer than 1% of companies have an actual strategy for generating these crucial customer conversations. Talk Triggers provides that strategy in a compelling, relevant, timely book that can be put into practice immediately, by any business. The key to activating customer chatter is the realization that same is lame. Nobody says let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I had last night. The strategic, operational differentiator is what gives customers something to tell a story about. Companies (including the 30+ profiled in Talk Triggers) must dare to be different and exceed expectations in one or more palpable ways. That's when word of mouth becomes involuntary: the customers of these businesses simply MUST tell someone else. Talk Triggers contains: Proprietary research into why and how customers talk More than 30 detailed case studies of extraordinary results from Doubletree Hotels by Hilton and their warm cookie upon arrival, The Cheesecake Factory and their giant menu, Five Guys Burgers and their extra fries in the bag, Penn & Teller and their nightly meet and greet sessions, and a host of delightful small businesses The 4-5-6 learning system (the 4 requirements for a differentiator to be a talk trigger; the 5 types of talk triggers; and the 6-step process for creating talk triggers) Surprises in the text that are (of course) word of mouth propellants Consumers are wired to discuss what is different, and ignore what is average. Talk Triggers not only dares the reader to differentiate, it includes the precise formula for doing it. Combining compelling stories, inspirational examples, and practical how-to, Talk Triggers is the first indispensable book about word of mouth. It's a book that will create conversation about the power of conversation. |

The book as a whole reflects the B2B marketing journey so that the readers can directly connect the content to their own experience and use the book as a guide in their day-to-day work for years to come. |

| b2b content marketing funnel: Insight Selling Mike Schultz, John E. Doerr, 2014-04-30 What do winners of major sales do differently than the sellers who almost won, but ultimately came in second place? Mike Schultz and John Doerr, bestselling authors and world-renowned sales experts, set out to find the answer. They studied more than 700 business-to-business purchases made by buyers who represented a total of $3.1 billion in annual purchasing power. When they compared the winners to the second-place finishers, they found surprising results. Not only do sales winners sell differently, they sell radically differently, than the second-place finishers. In recent years, buyers have increasingly seen products and services as replaceable. You might think this would mean that the sale goes to the lowest bidder. Not true! A new breed of seller—the insight seller—is winning the sale with strong prices and margins even in the face of increasing competition and commoditization. In Insight Selling, Schultz and Doerr share the surprising results of their research on what sales winners do differently, and outline exactly what you need to do to transform yourself and your team into insight sellers. They introduce a simple three-level model based on what buyers say tip the scales in favor of the winners: Level 1 Connect. Winners connect the dots between customer needs and company solutions, while also connecting with buyers as people. Level 2 Convince. Winners convince buyers that they can achieve maximum return, that the risks are acceptable, and that the seller is the best choice among all options. Level 3 Collaborate. Winners collaborate with buyers by bringing new ideas to the table, delivering new ideas and insights, and working with buyers as a team. They also found that much of the popular and current advice given to sellers can damage sales results. Insight Selling is both a strategic and tactical guide that will separate the good advice from the bad, and teach you how to put the three levels of selling to work to inspire buyers, influence their agendas, and maximize value. If you want to find yourself and your team in the winner's circle more often, this book is a must-read. |
| b2b content marketing funnel: Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook Gary Vaynerchuk, 2013-11-26 New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the “right hook”—their next sale or campaign that’s going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer’s resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don’t. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It’s not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr. |

| b2b content marketing funnel: Let's Get Real or Let's Not Play Mahan Khalsa, Randy Illig, 2008-10-30 The new way to transform a sales culture with clarity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence Too often, the sales process is all about fear. Customers are afraid that they will be talked into making a mistake; salespeople dread being unable to close the deal and make their quotas. No one is happy. Mahan Khalsa and Randy Illig offer a better way. Salespeople, they argue, do best when they focus 100 percent on helping clients succeed. When customers are successful, both buyer and seller win. When they aren't, both lose. It's no longer sufficient to get clients to buy; a salesperson must also help the client reduce costs, increase revenues, and improve productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction. Elevate your career with this essential guide for sales professionals and entrepreneurs alike. |
| b2b content marketing funnel: B2B Digital Marketing Michael Miller, 2012 B2B Digital Marketing is a guide to digital marketing for B2B companies. It addresses how to use various digital marketing vehicles to market products and services to other companies. The book is divided into three sections: Planning, introduces the various digital marketing vehicles and discusses which vehicles are most appropriate for various aspects of B2B marketing-customer acquisition, sales conversion, and customer retention. Execution, discusses each digital marketing vehicle (email marketing, search engine marketing, social media marketing, et al) in depth. Measurement and Refocus, discusses how to measure B2B digital marketing performance, advises how to refocus efforts based on results, and presents possible future developments in B2B digital marketing. The Internet has long been an important component in business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing, enabling companies to market their brands and products directly to consumers. Business-to-business (B2B) companies are also looking to digital vehicles to enhance their marketing efforts, including everything from email and blog marketing to social media and mobile marketing. Marketing to businesses is much different from marketing to consumers, and B2B digital marketing is equally different from B2C web marketing. While most of the vehicles are the same, the way they are used are unique to B2B marketing. |
