DEMAND FOR CONTENT.Buying intent: -/low.Example:I'm a B2B marketer working for a B2B company with a long sales cycle and high deal size product. I'm interested in upskilling myself, learn the best practices and industry trends.Demand gen goals:Motivate target audience to start following you, subscribing to your events, newsletter and engaging with your content. Typical cycle: 6-8 months.2. DEMAND FOR SOLUTION.This is a stage where inhouse conversations about possible solutions to the existing challenge start happening.Buying intent: low/medium.Example:We're missing revenue targets by 40%. Our outbound pipeline declines while inbound is unpredictable and generates low deal-size opportunities. What should we do?Demand gen goals:-Repetitive visits to your website, including high-intent pages from multiple visitors- Engagement with solution-based content on social and content hubs- Sharing your content with colleaguesTypical cycle: 3-6 months.2. DEMAND FOR VENDOR.This is a stage where the buying decision happens. Buyers do vendor research and talk to vetted vendors. The first vendors they select are the vendors that attracted their attention earlier.Buying intent: high.Example:It's clear that we, marketing & sales, never worked as one team focusing on the same goals and targets. We want to go upmarket and generate enterprise opportunities with account-based programs. Which vendor will help us to achieve goals faster with our resources and budget?Demand gen goals:- Generate sales opportunitiesTypical cycle: 1–3 months.----A lot of B2B companies pay attention only to creating demand for a vendor and claim their sales cycle length is 1–3 months.They ignore the rest of the buyer journey and pay a solid ROI tax on it.Buyers that are in market spend 6–9 months consuming content related to their jobs-to-be-done and business challenges. Before they become in market, they create a list of preferred vendors. If you want to be among them, make sure your demand gen program is aligned with the buyer journey.

Episode 112: How to target and warm up B2B buyers with Zero Social Presence with Stapho Thienpont
Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel3 ways to target and warm up B2B buyers if they are not active on social.If you're selling to technical teams or conservative industries, your buyers may not be active on social. Hence, ads and cold outreach are doomed.Here are several ways to reach and warm up them.1. Partner with niche associations and communities.Do a co-marketing activity (event, webinar, panel discussion, market research, etc) making sure that the association or community will help with intros and promotion.One of our clients managed a relationship with an HVAC association to book 23 meetings with technical buyers from target accounts.2. Send highly personalized offers via direct mail.Why direct mail?- Direct mail cuts through the noise of spammy sales LinkedIn and email messages- Relevant gifts grab attention and provoke curiosity- Highly-personalized pitch and the relevant case study make target accounts reply YES just because it’s not standard, and they see you did homework.We have a 100% reply rate for every direct mail outreach campaign we send at Fullfunnel.io. Our clients see positive reply rates of around 40%-60% per campaign.3. Build a peer-to-peer relationship to gain additional insights and ask for introductions.Even if your target buyers are not active on social, there are other departments that might be (sales, marketing, client success, data, etc.).Build a peer-to-peer relationship.Plan co-marketing activities.Ask your peers to connect your team with target buyers.These 3 ways take way more time than launching and running ads and outreach. They seem to be non-scalable.But this is one of the biggest problems B2B companies create for themselves.They look wrong at scalability.Putting $$$ into Ads machine, hiring more SDRs, and investing in automation seems to be predictable and scalable.Emails sent and ads impression - Clicks - Meetings booked - I wish B2B growth was that easy.Scalability comes from focusing on systems that actually deliver results. It requires a long-term mindset and strategy. Even if these systems require a lot of human effort to ignite the engine and maintain growth.There are no shortcuts to growing a B2B business.RESOURCESOn-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-cFull-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newslJoin our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogStapho Thienpont оn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stapho/

Protective mindset.Sales believe their core asset is their network. Hence, they are unwilling to share contacts or make intros assuming their relationship can be "stolen".2. Marketing has no product and market expertise.When sales talk to marketing and see they don't really know the target market, ICP, product value, and competition, they treat marketing as an "arts and crafts department."3. Different KPIs.When sales have sales quota pressure and outbound KPIs, any new program or initiative feels like a burden that distracts them from the primary goal.This goes even more extreme in companies where sales don't hit revenue quota and see how marketing celebrates hitting MQLs.4. Marketing campaigns are not tied to revenue and don't contain a clear list of tasks, responsibilities, and timelines.No one in sales wants to do "demand gen", "ABM", "content distribution", or help with anyother marketing campaign if they don't clearly see how:- The campaign will impact the pipeline and revenue.- Their responsibilities and tasks- Campaign timeline5. Marketing doesn't understand the sales process and pipeline status.If marketing doesn't initiate regular pipeline overviews and conversations with sales about the challenges they face in the trenches, sales believe that marketing doesn't care about it.Hence, what's the point of collaborating with them?Here is how to handle the issue and turn marketing and sales into a revenue function.1. Make both functions revenue-responsible.2. Get alignment about goals, challenges, ICP, buyer journey, value proposition, marketing, and sales processes.3. Fix knowledge gaps.4. Define a small pilot team (1 marketer and 1 SDR) that will work on a shared playbook on one market and vertical.5. Reduce their revenue quota and make sure they have enough time to commit to the new programs.6. Document and share results with the entire team.7. Scale the function.---The growth of a B2B company heavily depends on the collaboration between sales and marketing.These two functions have different responsibilities, but the same goal – revenue.Primary marketing responsibilities:- Creating awareness- Generating and capturing demand- Supporting sales with engaged accounts and intent triggers- Helping sales to accelerate the sales cycle and influence the decision-making processPrimary sales responsibilities:- Connect and build relationships with target accounts- Start conversations about a potential collaboration with engaged accounts- Expand the business with existing customers by expanding, upselling or cross-sellingStapho Thienpont оn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stapho/

CATEGORIZE DEMAND TOPICS1. B𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.2.

𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: what can influence their decision?4. PRIORITIZE CAMPAIGNS.Map out all demand campaigns you believe make sense to launch. Prioritize by:* scope, * budget,* resources* easiness of launching* potential impact.5. DEVELOP OR REFINE DEMAND CAPTURING.Before launching a pilot demand gen campaign:* Reduce friction points (long forms, pricing unavailable, etc.)* Define one process of demand capturing (retargeting of engaged accounts, intent data, etc.)6. LAUNCH A PILOT CAMPAIGNDon’t push all of your resources into the pilot campaign. Instead:* Define the goals and align them with sales and execs.* Define a small pilot team* Select only one channel and one program. Don’t do multiple things in parallel.* Create a clear timeline and leading metrics to track progress.7. OPERATIONALIZEAfter your campaign gets traction, document the process and onboard or hire a team member to maintain the campaign.8. CREATE A REPORTAdd a mix of self- and digital attribution (digital analytics + How did you hear about our product?) to show the impact of marketing on revenue.9. GRADUALLY LAUNCH AND DOCUMENT NEW DEMAND GENERATION AND DEMAND CAPTURING CAMPAIGNS.10. DOCUMENT AND BUILD A DEMAND GEN TEAM.Don’t hire for the process that doesn’t exist in the beginning. Bring people to maintain the existing campaigns, refine them and give some space for experimentation.

Episode 104: How to use intent data to identifi engaged accounts for ABM with Stapho Thienpont
Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnelIn this episode I will tell you how to unlock the power of intent data and use it to determine who is engaging with your brand and what they're looking for. By understanding the intent of your audience, you can create more effective marketing campaigns that truly resonate with your target audience.On-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-cFull-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newslJoin our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogHow to use intent data to source ABM programs with the engaged accounts. 1. Define key sources of the intent data. At Fullfunnel.io we use: - Albacross to identify accounts that have visited our website- LinkedIn engagement data- [Paperflite](https://www.linkedin.com/company/pape...) to capture the demand and track bottom of the funnel content engagement- Mention tracking specific intent keywords (e.g. ABM agency, ABM consultant Don’t add a lot of sources, but rather focus on a few that can provide crucial insights for your business. 2. Filter the account through qualification criteria. Our marketer filters all the new accounts through the account qualification criteria and applies one of three tiers for each of the qualified accounts. 3. Run account research and fill in the tracking spreadsheet. As the next step, we collect all the publicly available insights about the strategic initiatives of the qualified accounts and map out the buying committee. 4. Define engaged accounts and add them to CRM. Marketer applies engagement criteria, and if the account passes the engagement threshold, the marketer saves it to CRM. 5. Refine the process with SOPs. We create detailed video instructions explaining every step, so any team member can pick it up at anytime 6. Report frequency. In our case, we collect the data on a daily basis and ask the marketer to send the account engagement report on a weekly basis.---Intent data without clear processes for using it is useless. Your team might get excited about it initially but will start ignoring it in a few weeks. Focus on a few sources and tools, create SOPs, and make sure everybody knows how to use them before adding more sources and overwhelming your team.Stapho Thienpont оn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stapho/

Here is why and how.ABM stands for personalized solutions to companies with a clear need or challenges your product solves.Start with a list of engaged accounts that fit your ICP and passed through qualification criteria.Next, leverage the research cascade method.1. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡.Collect and analyze all publicly available information about target accounts' key initiatives and strategy.Here are the main sources:- press releases- interviews with chief executives- roadmaps- corporate reports- earning calls2. 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡.Research the buying committee and collect insights about how they might be involved in the key initiatives.Here are several things you need to pay attention to:What's their role and area of responsibility in the stated key initiative or strategy?- KPIs/OKRs- Challenges- Goals3. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠.Start mapping your value proposition with the identified KPIs, goals, and challenges of every buying committee member.Fullfunnel.io example from selling ABM sprints:Marketing: Get a proven process to collaborate with sales and increase marketing-sourced revenue.Sales: Hit revenue targets faster by winning deals with enterprise accounts.4. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.Write down short (I recommend one-page docs) personalized solutions for every buying committee member.Include:- Context- How exactly your product helps to achieve their goals or solve the challenges- Relevant social proof5.

RESOURCESOn-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-cFull-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newslJoin our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogHOW TO MEASURE B2B MARKETINGB2B marketing reporting shouldn't be complex. Here are 3 categories and 11 core metrics I recommend looking at for a B2B company with high ACV and a long sales cycle.REVENUE METRICS.1. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞.How much revenue came from marketing campaigns? Aim to increase the % compared to sales-sourced revenue. It proves the efficiency of your marketing and growing brand recognition.2. 𝐖𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞If the win rate is low, it means that either you have bad targeting, have low-quality opportunities, or have a misalignment with sales.3. 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡.When the sales cycle length decreases, you are accelerating revenue.4. 𝐀𝐂𝐕 (average contract value).5. 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲.Sales pipeline velocity demonstrates revenue trajectory according to your sales cycle length, sales-qualified opportunities, ACV, and win rate.If this metric is growing, it proves that you:- target the right accounts,- have a marketing message-market fit,- good buyer enablement- no friction points in the buying process.6. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐎𝐈.Demand or brand activities can't be measured by sales opportunities or CAC.Hence, I recommend holistically looking at marketing-sourced revenue, sales pipeline velocity, and budget spent to calculate marketing ROI.You need to have a holistic approach.PIPELINE METRICS7. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬.The more engaged accounts you have in your pipeline, the more sales-qualified opportunities and marketing-sourced pipeline you'll generate.I also recommend looking at the length of conversion from engaged accounts to sales-qualified opportunities. It will help you to make better revenue and pipeline forecasts.8. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬-𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬.BRAND METRICS.9. Inbound opportunities.10. Media invitesPodcast invites, speaking gigs, and featuring in guest posts - all are positive signs that your brand gains traction.I also recommend looking at the quality of the invites. The more invites you are getting from the industry-leading media, the higher your brand anticipation.11. Brand traffic and brand mentions.Pay attention to how often your product is being recommended on social and in communities. The more mentions you gain, the higher your brand recognition.---Depending on your business model, you might change metrics by adding churn, LTV, CAC, but the principles will be the same. That being said, every campaign you run should have its own set of metrics.Stapho Thienpont оn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stapho/Andrei on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azinkevich/

The role of B2B marketing is full-funnel, not TOFU, MOFU, BOFU or lead gen.Buyer journey is not linear, hence your marketing shouldn't be.Align your marketing with demand and business triggers and maximize touchpoints with buyers across the channels they use for education and research.2. Measure marketing across the full funnel with blended analytics, not by MQLs.There are lots of interactions and touchpoints that can't be measured by attribution software. Measure marketing performance and impact on revenue by cohesive analysis of:- Leading indicators for every campaign- Self-attribution- Digital traces- Customer interviews3. Cohesive models instead of siloed functions.Don't try to launch siloed functions and compare them (e.g. demand generation vs ABM). Every function has its own role, hence you need a cohesive model.Example:Demand generation = create awareness and demand in a target market.ABM = warm up and activate engaged accounts.4. Prioritization and focus are the keys to successful marketing.Tech companies are laying off their employees. Budgets are cut. Every cent invested in marketing can be questioned.You don't need 50 tactics to hit revenue targets.Excel at 5-7 making programs, allocate 80% of your time and budget, and leave 20% for experimentation.5. Change management is the biggest bottleneck for implementing full-funnel marketing.Even if everybody in your organization agrees with the points above, but your company still deals with:- Lack of patience and commitment when launching new programs- Measuring every campaign by leads- Skipping fundamental strategy steps such as ICP, marketing message, account research, and jumping into tacticsYou need to foresee time for change management.Make sure to regularly train and onboard senior leadership until you'll get a full support and buy-in.6. Align with sales on playbooks and pipeline.Marketing is not a sales assistant or order-taker. But marketing is not a siloed function as well.Make sure you have a clear alignment with sales on:- GTM strategy- List of target accounts- Lead definition and leads handoff process- Regular pipeline review- Playbooks for warming up and activating target accounts7. Reduce friction points to shorten the sales cycle and improve buyer experience.Make sure you have everything buyers want to see:- Pricing- SDRs calendar- FAQs- Clear product overview and description- Case studiesToo many opportunities are killed in advance or have a longer cycle because of unnecessary friction points you can easily remove.Vladimir on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirblagojevic/Andrei on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azinkevich/

During Fullfunnelverse workshop I hosted last week with Vladimir Blagojević one of the most popular questions was: How to merge demand generation and ABM? Here is how I see it. 1. 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 creates a pool of engaged accounts that are curious about your product. 2. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚.You can leverage different sources of intent data to spot these accounts, including: -Website traffic reveal software-Social engagement-Demo/product webinar sign-ups-Engagement with product-related content hubs-Comparison on G2 or Capterra, etc 3. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝. Before adding these accounts to the ABM program, you need to make sure they are engaged enough Example: -An account spent more than 30 minutes on the website checking the product page and, at least, one of the case studies.-Somebody from the buying committee signed up for the product webinar. 4. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 / 𝐈𝐂𝐏 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. Tier 1 accounts (highest revenue potential): 1-1 highly personalized campaigns Tier 2 accounts: vertical-based and job-role based personalization. Tier 3 accounts: vertical-based personalization.Retargeting and automated activation (e.g. LinkedIn conversational ads).I believe that Tier 3 accounts should be generated via demand generation programs. 5. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Even if the account matches ICP criteria, are there any other factors that can tell us that this account is a bad fit? Examples: - SaaS with pricing of less than $100 per month- decision-maker with a sales background- less than 200 SKUs in the portfolio 6. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡. We collect all the publicly available insights about the strategic initiatives of the qualified accounts and map out the buying committee.This is crucial before defining how to market to every specific company and what warm up tactic to use. 7. 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐮𝐩. Our favorite ways to warm up accounts include 1-1 interaction with the buying committee members, including: 1. Content collaboration (podcast, research, roundups).2. Events.3. Social engagement. 8. 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The last part is matching the insights we collected from account research and warm-up program, and creating completely personalized proposals for every buying committee member. This is where you can leverage a creative outreach (we love to send direct mails). If the deal is won, we move it to client success. When a client achieved the desired result, you can start an expansion campaign.If the deal was lost or it is stalled, you'd continue nurturing the account with your demand gen program and non-sales touches.Vladimir on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirblagojevic/Andrei on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azinkevich/
