The document summarizes how B2B buyers have changed and marketing needs to change with them. It notes that buyers are now more informed and in control of their journey. It outlines how buyers now start research online through search and spend more time on blogs than social media or email. The traditional sales funnel has flipped, with buyers now further along in the process before engaging with vendors. As a result, the document recommends that marketers shift from outbound interruptive approaches to inbound strategies focused on creating helpful content to attract and nurture prospects. It provides suggestions for content to create, how to map keywords to rank for, and using analytics to test and improve approaches.
