In this episode of #Hashtags, Gartner analyst Rick LaFond discusses how to create compelling value propositions and marketing communications that address the emotional side of B2B buying. Conventional wisdom suggests that while B2C buying might be emotionally charged, B2B buying is highly rational. However, B2B buying is heavily driven by emotions, and buyer perception of “personal value” from a brand is nearly 3x more strongly associated with positive brand outcomes than perception of “functional value.”Rick LaFond is a Gartner Senior Director Analyst for Gartner for Marketers. He leads Gartner's B2B customer acquisition & account growth research. As an analyst, Rick supports Gartner's clients with insights and guidance on various marketing topics, including demand generation, digital marketing strategy, sales enablement, content marketing and account-based marketing.

As the end of the year approaches, it is a time most sales people are trying to win year end deals. However, there are key mistakes salespeople make that end up adding a false sense of urgency and a need to discount their products or services. In this episode, I share the key steps to increase your success for year end deals by showing up the solve the clients problems instead of just selling. Quotes:"The biggest mistakes that I see people make those come down to creating a false sense of urgency.""Accept the fact that sometimes our urgency is not aligned with their urgency and if it's not, then rather than jeopardize the relationship and try and push for a deal when it's not right, just be willing to push things off a little bit."Looking for more guidance and support on handling all your B2B sales struggles?

This episode is the 3rd and final part of my three-part series where we're navigating the B2B sales process. In this mini-series, I share 6 steps to find, engage and win contracts with business-to-business clients. Because most consultants, coaches and experts go about B2B sales all wrong or they miss vital steps. It's a process that has served my business very well. Part 3's episode it's all about how FOLLOW UP IS FORTUNE. Here, in this last instalment, we cover the last two steps of six focusing on presentations (or pitches) and how to be persistent without turning into a pest. And there's another 7th dimension that runs across all six steps, which helps you go after bigger contracts – so stay tuned.

How do you position yourself to become one of the "fortunate" professionals who consistently get corporate clients and build lucrative B2B businesses? Most consultants and coaches are experts in their subject matter or field of practice, but hate the whole promoting, prospecting and pitching part of running their own business. In this 3-part mini-series, I share 6 steps to find, engage and win contracts with business-to-business clients. Because most consultants, coaches and experts go about B2B sales all wrong or they miss vital steps. It's a process that has served my business very well. Here in part 2, we continue through steps 3 and 4 of the six steps, talking about prospecting and proposals. I'll be saying more about the order of play and the mistake most consultants make starting in the middle, jumping into steps 3 or 4 and even 5 without the necessary prep work.

How do you position yourself to become one of the "fortunate" professionals who consistently get corporate clients and build lucrative B2B businesses? In this mini-series, over three short episodes, I share 6 steps to find, engage and win contracts with business-to-business clients. Because most consultants, coaches and experts go about B2B sales all wrong or they miss vital steps. It's a process that has served my business very well. The B2B sales process follows the same general principles as any marketing and sales to consumers. You still need to get clear on the ideal client, position yourself and what you offer as a match to their most pressing needs. But you also have to think specifically about the pain points and needs at the organisational level as well as the people you deliver to ‘on the ground'. In part 1, we start by setting out the landscape of the B2B marketplace and talk through what is and isn't B2B in terms of the pay-offs and then talk through the critical first step of positioning yourself for success and building a pipeline. What you'll learn as I go through these steps are: How to do your market research and due diligence How to craft your offer around their specific needs and challenges The easiest programs and services to offer (especially starting out) What things you worry about that you don't need to worry about How to price your programs so you start as you mean to go on How to prove you can deliver even if this is your first client The most crucial first step to do at this time.

111 AI - changing the Face of B2B Selling
B2B Selling continues to evolve, especially in the context of Cloud solutions.Jamie Shanks, the founder, and CEO of Sales for Life is a true pioneer in Social Selling. Speaking to Jamie is like drinking a double shot of espresso.Social media for selling was a discovery that Jamie first identified when he reversed engineer what B2B Sales professionals had been doing in outbound sales for years, and then apply on LinkedIn.Social Selling was initially developed as an "inbound" sales motion focused on three core principles: - Building an online brand - Grow a buyer social network - Share content 1:1 and 1:manyAs social selling evolved to an outbound, account-based motion, the category evolved into "Digital Selling" using multiple channels including social networks, video, and multi-touch, multi-channel sequences.Most recently, the category has morphed into "Modern Selling", spearheaded by companies like Microsoft and IBM which simply highlights the multi-channel aspect of outbound pipeline generation.Immediately prior to COVID, digital selling was still an "evangelical" exercise and more time was spend on "why" to invest in Digital Selling versus investing in "how" to deploy digital selling.Within 30 days of COVID hitting, the conversations shifted to the imperative of how do we ensure our sales organization has the basic skills to reach and engage target buyers digitally. Socially surrounding target accounts and target buyers is key to a successful digital selling program. In fact, Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft said 3 years of Digital Transformation happened in 3 months!Jamie highlighted that the majority of success begins and ends with the buy-in, governance, and accountability of digital selling by senior and front-line sales management. First, identifying the success metrics for a digital selling program is a critical first step, under the auspice of the "expect what you inspect" mantra. Leaders need to be enabled first, to understand the evolving coaching moments, and ensure the sales plays reflect the new digital selling motion. Jamie discussed "pipeline coverage ratio growth", which starts with quarterly milestones that drive outcomes in 90-day bursts. Then start to measure progress every quarter, as measured by pipeline coverage ratio, and then close rates.Time-based, period over period "pipeline coverage ratio" is the number one metric to measure the return on digital selling investment. Close rates and revenue performance are lagging indicators that should be measured, but are not good leading indicators.When asked about what leading companies have done in regards to Digital Selling over the last 12 months, Jamie mentioned that the top 20% of companies have been very progressive in investing in digital selling transformation. 80% did not aggressively invest in the digital transformation of their sales team and fell behind in both pipeline development and new account sales.Human Capital migration play is the #1 opportunity to grow pipeline. In fact, over 50% of the new pipeline created in many of Jamie's customers came from this play. Leaders who recently joined a new company are much more prone to invest in new, higher-risk ways of growing pipeline and new customer revenue.We discussed the pros and cons of asking B2B sellers to build a personal brand versus building their employer's brand. Jamie said it is more important to over-index personal brand building in the target buyer "segment". This will be a candidate evaluation criteria that future, potential employers will use to determine a candidate's value to their company!Jamie is a great listen for anyone responsible for modern selling in a B2B company!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Buying and selling changed dramatically in the last year, accelerated by the pandemic, forcing both parties to use digital channels. Back to discuss COVID-19's influence on global selling, Christoph Schell, Chief Commercial Officer at HP, talked with Calvary TV host Joe Gemma. The second conversation focuses on eCommerce, social selling, omnichannel and other paradigm shifts. Schell described HP's response. “There is a decentralization of decision-making, and the shopping journey moved online for B2B. Regions don't work anymore; it's a global strategy to ensure consistency.” HP redefined its sales process and included centers of excellence. The two most critical are the HP store, where customers interact directly with the brand, and building an omnichannel team. “The customer is getting more information and leaving footprints, which we use to understand what they want, sometimes before they articulate it. That's caused me to hire data analysts in sales,” Schnell said. More data about customers offers companies the chance to have one-on-one engagement and more personalized experiences. A global message is the bedrock, but Schnell noted that localization in individual markets customizes it. Schnell also spoke about forecasting. “Historical data wasn't important last year. We went to scenarios looking at the accuracy of ambition of what we want to achieve. It's a bigger focus on outcomes.” How people sell is different now, too. Schnell thinks that some traditional approaches will remain, but that social selling and data analytics will thrive. “Social selling works. It's relationship-building –virtually. Both traditional and social will co-exist, but the pandemic accelerated digital channels.”
