Join DemandGen Report and Genius.com for a live webinar and access to a free report on Wed., February 24th 2010, as we present the findings of a brand new study exploring the purchase patterns of the next generation B2B Buyer.
The verdict is in-- It’s clear that buying habits have changed and customers are:
• More educated about solutions and competition than ever before
• More opportunistic and impulsive in their buying behavior
• More resourceful and connected to other buyers

This document summarizes research into new preferences and expectations of business buyers.

Winning with customer data: Successful brands challenge data from big tech to...National Retail Federation
This document discusses strategies for brands to challenge data from large tech companies in order to grow their margins and market share. It notes that while social media usage and advertising revenues are growing, social media often underperforms other marketing channels in driving conversions. However, social media is better at driving consideration than direct conversions. The document advocates rethinking social media strategy and metrics to focus on engagement over conversions since social media users are usually not ready to purchase. Attribution models also need to be reworked to better account for social media's role in the full customer journey.
The document discusses how the sales process has changed over time from the 1980s to today. It notes that buyers now have more options available to them through digital channels and have taken control of the purchasing process. Some key points made in the document include:
- Search has become an essential part of the buying process as buyers conduct online research.
- Relevancy is important as buyers expect salespeople to understand their specific needs and issues.
- Younger generations will drive more change as they increasingly use social media for information and publishing content.
- Marketers need to get the basics right by focusing on search optimization and relevant content while recognizing that buyers now dictate the purchasing process.
The document summarizes 20 sales prospecting stats from various sources. Key findings include: 40% of sales reps say prospecting is the most challenging part of the sales process; 60% of buyers want to discuss pricing on the first call and see a demo; 80% of companies have introduced new products/services in the last year; and asking questions about a prospect's pain points and objectives is closely tied to winning a deal. The document encourages interested companies to email the author to be part of a pilot program for sales prospecting software.

B2B Buyers Mandate A New Charter For Marketing And SalesG3 Communications
The document discusses the need for improved alignment between marketing and sales in B2B organizations. It finds that while marketing and sales currently have strong alignment in early planning activities, their relationship is weaker in later execution and reporting stages. As B2B buyers now research and purchase autonomously online, marketing and sales must collaborate more closely on activities like account-based marketing to provide buyers with personalized, high-value engagements across channels. The new mandate for organizations is to operationalize alignment between these functions through data sharing, joint account planning, and buyer-centric approaches.
This document provides an overview of omnichannel trends from the perspective of Deborah Weinswig, Executive Director and Head of Global Retail & Technology at the Fung Business Intelligence Centre. The summary is as follows:
Webrooming, where customers research products online and then purchase in-store, has become more common than showrooming. Brick-and-mortar retailers are investing heavily in technology like beacons, mobile apps, and inventory tracking to improve the customer experience across channels. Emerging trends that will impact retail include the growth of mobile shopping via apps, click-and-collect services, subscriptions, and investments in security as retail becomes more digital.
A new Economist Intelligence unit study found marketers see their influence rising within their companies. But with great power comes great responsibility. Check out a slide show with the results of the study, "The rise of the marketer."

It also notes trends like the increasing sophistication of marketing analytics capabilities, challenges in customer segmentation approaches, and the explosion of mobile marketing as smartphone adoption grows.

Omnichannel Retail: You Need to Know These GuysWhisbi
The most exciting thought-leaders, consultants and media outlets for news and insights, leading the omnichannel retail and customer experience transformation. (With one surprising contestant!)
Based on the top list: http://www.whisbi.com/blog/top-list-omnichannel-retail-influencers/
Note: this is not a ranking, neither has a direct interdependence with follower count. Also, we would love to keep on updating the collection over time. (In fact, we've already added 1-2 extra candidates based on suggestions by the community.)
B2B case studies help close sales by providing detailed customer testimonials that present solutions to common business problems in a credible, third-party format. They focus on real pain points experienced by customers and how the product or service implemented by the company addressed those challenges and delivered tangible benefits. Including consistent messaging about how solutions address key problems allows companies to embed that message in prospects' memories over time through multiple case study exposures.
A view of the customer experience through the consumer journeySKIM
Customer satisfaction can be measured across the consumer journey, each point being evaluated and rated by customers on how satisfied they are at that specific point in time. However, with the consumer journey becoming so intricate and interconnected through numerous channels, looking at these individual points in isolation is no longer accurate and can be deceiving.
Hence, marketers should go beyond traditional metrics to determine and understand customer experience within the context of consumer journey.
We shared insights from our journey mapping studies as we see tremendous value when understanding customer experience from this perspective.
Sales Operations can play a significant role in enabling transformation and driving sales productivity improvement. In particular, Sales Operations leaders can harness the power of advanced analytics capabilities to drive continuous improvement. This is an edited version of the presentation McKinsey's Brian Selby made at Dreamforce 2016.
The digital tide is hitting all of us, profoundly transforming our
everyday lives, and dramatically transforming the way
consumers behave and think about brands. Far from being the harbinger of the end of retail, digital is a big competitive advantage for stores that know how to use it. This presentation was shared by McKinsey partner Nathalie Remy (Paris) at the Women's Wear Daily Apparel and Retail CEO Summit.

The document discusses 5 "moneyball" metrics that sales executives should focus on instead of traditional metrics that provide an inaccurate view of performance. These include pipeline velocity to measure how quickly deals are moving instead of just the total pipeline amount, winning percentage to measure what percentage of deals are won instead of just number of deals worked on, closing speed to measure how long it takes deals to close instead of just number closed, acquisition cost to measure profitability of deals instead of just revenue, and new logos to measure number of new customers instead of just total sales. Adopting these more accurate metrics can help sales organizations improve results and better predict future performance.
44 Facts Defining the Future of Customer EngagementSam Capra ☁️
Imagine having a single view of every customer interaction with your business at your fingertips. From the time they walk into your stores or office, visit your website, tweet about your products, or reach out to your call center for help- all of these interactions would be available in a single view of your customer. Now imagine how you can leverage that rich data to create a differentiated and seamless customer experience. A crystal ball is not required in order to envision the future of customer engagement but you will need to think beyond the traditional CRM to technology that can support the infinite possibilities and unique paths comprising your customers’ journey today.
7 Deadly Sins of Digital Transformation

BestBuy Digital Strategy Final PresentationJoe Levin
Best Buy is a large electronics retailer founded in 1966 with over $43 billion in annual revenue. It has the leading market share in key technology categories and over 180,000 employees worldwide. Best Buy aims to expand its customer base and online presence through social media marketing. The strategy involves creating video reviews on YouTube, monitoring social media for brand mentions, and allocating 35% of the budget to Facebook ads.
B2B buyers now take more time researching and involve more decision makers in the purchasing process. The report recommends that marketers focus content on educating buyers rather than promoting products, map out content for each stage of the buying journey, and create materials relevant to all roles involved in purchasing. It also suggests letting buyers research independently at first instead of demanding immediate facetime, as status quo strategies will no longer lead to revenue growth given how buyer behavior has changed with more online resources available.

The document discusses key findings from a CommBank survey on customer experience in the Australian retail sector. Some of the main points include:
- Customer experience is seen as very important but many retailers rate their own experience as only good or poor, showing room for improvement.
- Factors that help create an excellent customer experience include a deep commitment to optimizing the experience, seeing personalization as important, and having a high proportion of female executives.
- While most retailers understand the importance of customer experience, only 30% rate their own experience as extremely good. Pure play online retailers tend to perform better than multichannel retailers in this area.
- Many retailers plan to invest more in improving the customer experience
The document provides guidance on successfully managing business-to-business (B2B) relationships and sales cycles. It emphasizes the importance of understanding customer needs, creating trust over time through regular communication and follow-ups, delivering high quality work on time and on budget, continuously innovating, and engaging with customers to refine products and services. Key aspects include knowing your niche, differentiating your offerings, focusing on solutions not just capabilities, and learning from both successes and mistakes.

The document presents a model for B2B market segmentation that scores segments on attributes to determine their overall attractiveness.
The document discusses organizational buying behavior and consumer buying behavior.

It involves information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation. There are different types of consumer buying including routine response, limited decision making, extensive decision making, and impulse buying.
The document discusses how to segment business-to-business (B2B) customers using wallet size and share of wallet metrics. It recommends creating a wallet matrix to analyze customers and prospects, and using segmentation data to develop strategic sales and marketing plans, including defining target markets, allocating sales teams, and setting acquisition and development targets. The goal is to integrate sales and marketing actions using an actionable, data-driven process.
This document discusses organizational buying behavior in business-to-business contexts. It describes the differences between consumer and organizational buying processes. Organizational buying involves multiple people and stages, including problem recognition, specification, supplier search, selection, and review. Key roles in organizational procurement include buyers, users, initiators, gatekeepers, influencers, and deciders. The document outlines factors that influence organizational buying behavior such as product type, risks, and complex buying centers. It also discusses considerations for B2B marketing including long decision times, high risks, flexibility, and technical knowledge.
The document summarizes an assignment on organizational buying behavior. It discusses key differences between organizational and consumer buying processes, including more extensive analysis and formal decision making in organizations. It also outlines three types of organizational buying situations - new task, modified rebuy, and straight rebuy - and evaluates influences on organizational buyers like environmental, organizational, interpersonal, and individual factors. Finally, it explains the eight steps in organizational decision making: problem recognition, need description, specification, supplier search, proposal solicitation, supplier selection, order specification, and performance review.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.
