B2B Marketing Insights 2

Reaching buyers with the power to act

 B2B buying cycles are long, emotion-driven and involve many stakeholders. Make sure you know who your marketing is reaching and how your buyers are reacting to it.

Navigating the B2B buying cycle can be complex, so reaching the right stakeholder group is key.

And it’s clear that marketing can play a pivotal role in how that stakeholder group responds.

  • Considerations about whether a purchase can enhance the buyer’s reputation or reduce anxiety play a large role in the B2B buying decision. Harvard Business Review
  • 95% of decision-makers state that, even before contacting a supplier, feeling a sense of connection to a supplier’s brand is as important as feeling confident about what they do. B2B International

Multiple stakeholders influence every sale

Winning brands drive consensus and catalyze collective action across the buying committee.

Reaching everyone on the buying committee is one of the hardest parts of B2B marketing – and one of the most important when you’re selling high consideration products and services.

You succeed by reaching and building relationships with prospects who wield decision-making authority. That’s why it’s essential to engage high-quality buyers in a professional context.
