B2B Marketing Begins with Buyer Insights (101) (Virtual)

B2B Marketing Mastery Program 101
(Virtual Half Day Workshop)

Virtual Workshop Description
During the pandemic, B2B buyers developed a preference for digital marketing and remote sales calls. Now, they expect such interactions to continue – even as their hunger for in-person events grows. Learn to navigate the dynamics of B2B buyers on buying committees – and work with Sales to identify which players can help or hurt your brand.

In this virtual half day workshop, you will learn the foundation of a successful end-to-end B2B marketing strategy:

• Deliver B2B marketing that meets customers’ expectations. Identify which players can help or hurt you on the way to closing a sale, and how Marketing and Sales need to work together to deliver buyer- and customer-centric marketing.
• Gain insights into the how and why of buyers’ behavior through buyer persona research. What are buyers doing when they’re offstage, out of sight? Identify each of the steps buyers take on a carefully considered purchase, the dynamics of the buyers’ journey, and the questions buyers seek answers for.
• Map content to the buyers’ journey. Identify key buyer questions to create the exact content buyers need, in the media they prefer, during each step in the buyers’ journey. Create the content that helps buyers overcome obstacles and objections to advances them through the journey to purchase.
