Advertising to Buying Signals with Demandbase B2B Retargeting

For B2B companies, it’s far more powerful to reach multiple stakeholders at specific companies than anonymous individuals with the “right” profiles and titles. Unfortunately, current B2C ad technology lacks the ability to target prospects in way that drives revenue in a clear, measurable way for B2B companies. This technology disparity is particularly evident with retargeting, which serves ads to visitors who have previously engaged with your brand online.

However, B2B companies had no choice but “borrow” B2C tech – until now with Demandbase B2B Retargeting. It’s the first, ground-breaking technology designed to help business marketers connect their ad investments to revenue.

How are you Tying and Tracking Engagements and Experiences Across the Buyer 2.0 Journey?

SiriusDecisions estimates that the buyer's journey is 70 percent complete by the time a salesperson is contacted -- and a recent CMO Council study of B2B buyers indicates that 87 percent of buyers believe that online content impacts their buyer journey from vendor selection and purchase decisions. In spite of this growing shift to online, most B2Bs organizations have been slow in reacting to the changes with their prospects' purchasing activity, particularly the engagement with their company website during the evaluation process.

Yet, some marketers are looking at this rise in "Buyer 2.0" behavior as a problem to be solved rather than an opportunity to be embraced. Join the CMO Council as we delve into the opportunities gained by bringing relevance, precision and personalization across critical digital touch-points, connecting conversations to meet the expectations of today’s connected customer. We will be hearing from Meagen Eisenberg, VP of Demand Generation at DocuSign, who will be sharing how the world’s leading electronic signature solution has more effectively connected with customers, delivering highly personalized experiences in real-time, and exactly where customers are consuming content to shape their buying journey.

We will also be joined by a leading thought leader in account-based marketing, Allison Metcalfe of Demandbase, who will share insights into the shifts and requirements of the new “Buyer 2.0”, including the new behaviors that boost the criticality of adopting a more targeted and relevant approach to connected engagements.

Buyer 2.0 is the informed customer. They spend most of their buying process independently searching for and accessing information to learn more about the potential impact of their priorities and how to best go about addressing them. For B2B vendors to successfully attract and engage these buyers, new approaches, thinking and technology must be applied.

Recent research from Google has indicated that buyers are generally at least 60% through the sales process before identifying themselves to a seller. How do you best identify, engage, and influence the buyer you cannot see? Which website visitors are most likely to become customers? The self-guided tactics of "Buyer 2.0" have many B2B marketing and sales organizations on their heels … but the reality is that the evolved buying cycle should be welcomed as an opportunity to retire the resource-intensive, hit-or-miss sales and marketing models of old and replace them with the proactive, precision-guided engagement efforts which the new B2B buyer is looking for today.

According to research collected by B2B analyst firm SiriusDecisions, leads sourced by sales typically outperform those coming from other sources. In other words, leads sourced by sales are more likely to become revenue. This is not good news for sales managers, however, as prospecting is not how they want their top sales performers to spend their time. But how do they approach the prospecting process? How is it different than the ways marketers generate leads, and is there anything that we can do to increase the percentages of marketing sourced leads moving through the sales funnel?

B2B companies recognize they’re most likely to sell to the accounts that fit the profile of their current customer base. To continually improve quality lead generation, it’s critical to identify the distinguishing characteristics of these customers -- especially because they aren’t always an enterprise’s biggest customers with the most impressive logos. Jennifer Pockell-Wilson, VP of Marketing and Demand Operations at Demandbase, shares tips and tricks on how to build a target account list that both sales and marketing will love. Avoid the pratfalls of list building by focusing on your corporate “sweet spot” – the companies most likely to become revenue.

Marketing automation systems focus on driving prospects through the marketing funnel in order to identify the qualified individuals that are ready to talk to a salesperson. There are more subtle indicators of interest at the account level, however. Buying signals across multiple contacts that fly beneath the radar when considered individually, and that could be missed altogether if you don’t know what to look for.

Lead management and marketing automation thought leaders Adam Needles, Carlos Hidalgo and Matt Heinz discuss incorporating Account-Based selling strategies into B2B lead management and nurture campaigns in this panel discussion moderated by Jason Stewart.

Crafting content for the B2B marketplace is a challenging proposition. Long sales cycles, and multiple decision makers mean that the buyer's journey can be frustratingly complex. Creating content that resonates and engages both influencers and buyers at the accounts we value most should be relevant, personal and, most importantly, influential to his or her journey. Meanwhile, B2B websites are still cluttered with generic, "one-size fits all" content designed to convert the generic "buyer persona." What happens when you move to a focused, quality-first personal engagement strategy? What happens if you spend the time to fully engage at the top of the funnel, rather than at some generic "sales handoff" stage. Join Robert Rose, as he discusses the best practices of putting your best content in front of the people at the accounts that matter most.
