How Your B2B Buyer Insights Can Improve

How Your B2B Buyer Insights Can Improve | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it explains how outdated buyer insights can affect our B2B sales.

 

You can reach your prospects through a better understanding of why customers make a purchase.

 

Exploring the B2B Buyer Journey

 

The digitization of business has changed the buyer landscape significantly. I agree that your customers will respond as you reach them where they are at.

 

Zambito shows you several ways to gain better insights on your prospects and how to improve your B2B sales.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • B2B companies have to come to the realization that they are living within their own digital bubble. This includes over-reliance on activity-based data intelligence.

 

  • Digital transformation is felt mostly in channels and distribution. For example, the way consumers purchase a book is now far different than in the past.

 

  • Cloud-based platforms are now affecting how people take action and make decisions. A new virtual dependence is emerging merging users and buyers into one.

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing?

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing? | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
You don't need more content. You need old content. I know, that's not what you usually hear, so stick with me and we will look at some numbers to see why it is so important.

Although the idea is very interesting, I don't see any valid arguments that OLD content is the key to high rankings. You even can't say there's a correlation here because 14/30 pages are less then 1 year old and 16/30 are more than 1 year old.
The method for determining OLD website is also faulty since the age of domain is not the same as the age of the content itself. So if the page has been updated within this year, it should be labeled as new. To my mind, 90% of the TOP10 search results pages have been updated during last year, so this would mean that NEW content is the key to high rankings.
And since this is just a hypothesis, I must present an actual trend that has been spotted by SEO specialists recently. After latest Google Search engine updates, fresh content easily wins over old content with a lot of backlinks. If OLD content was the king, there would be NO fresh content (up to 1 month old) on first page at all.

Some things we know are better with age, like wine and wisdom, but content? Seriously? Read on to see stats showing why your old content can be a power horse for generating increased site traffic and search results.

The Importance Quality Metrics for More Sales | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
When comparing quantity metrics with quality metrics, Certainly, one is easier. But it's the other that will bring you conversions

I selected this article from Curatti written by Robert Caruso because it explains the importance of quality metrics when measuring the results of your business's marketing efforts.

 

Understanding the outcome of your marketing strategies can help improve your conversion rates.

 

Measuring for Business Success

 

You can be successful generating more sales with the right metrics in place. I agree that many businesses fail to understand the full scope of their activities online.

 

Caruso explains what quality metrics look like and how this can affect your bottom line.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • When it comes to taking a look at digital marketing your metrics should look at the quality rather than the quantity. This will then determine your investment of time, money, and resources.

 

  • You can have a false sense of success by focusing on vanity metrics, which relies on data from activities rather than certain activities. This provides very little actionable data to measure.

 

  • If you want to increase your sales then you need to dive deeper into actionable activity such as conversion rates, time spent on your website, cost per lead, ect.

What an intuitive piece about quality versus quantity.  I've actually had clients that have bought "likes" and "followers" thinking that the more followers, the better they appear as a business (power of social psychology). This fake dilution actually depletes their efforts in the social channel for a small, temporary illusion of grandeur.  The importance of a quality audience being offered quality content is what translates to the bottom line.  Likes, clicks and follows are not reflective of NOI.
