Talking Points
Generate demand for your business, not leads
“Lead generation” doesn’t require a definition. But it does require some thought. Especially now.Generate demand for your business, not leads
With internet browsers removing 3rd party cookies by end of 2022, CRMs and MAPs globally rolling in GDPR restrictions and Google’s aim to make the internet serve the customer with good quality, authentic content for all, gone are the days of buying lead lists and blasting emails or cold calling un-consented “prospects”.
Now is the time to be thinking about how your business can be educating and adding value to your audience at scale. Demand Generation is a method that, quite simply, generates demand for your brand by creating awareness of and interest in a company's product/service, with the use of technology at the core. This type of marketing strategy covers every part of the B2B buyer's cycle, from stranger to repeat customer.
You establish this by building relationships with your prospects at a time of their learning and discovery i.e. being ready with answers to their questions at the earliest stages of their thinking possible; sometimes before they even know their questions themselves. And you maintain it by continuing to understand what your customer's needs are and delivering on them throughout every step of their experience with you. It is the holistic view that encompasses lead generation, lead nurturing, customer conversion and customer advocacy.
