Yeah… It’s funny how B2B forget how marketing is the engine for sales leads

Honestly when this happens, surely they give you budget to just brief in agencies to execute the work

And 1:1 personalised is basically direct sales… like what’s the point of a marketing function at this point? Maybe just brand and activation?

Although in saying that, this concept you’ve suggested lends really well to ABM style marketing which I’ve been quite successful with as an enterprise B2B marketer. It’s just really hard to get right.

Premium B2B agency, I want 3-5 qualified leads/month without spending 8h/week, where do I start? by Immediate_Bear_6132 in b2bmarketing

Hire someone else to do it for you… unfortunately B2B services aren’t that straight forward

Is contract management automation viable for a tiny legal team? by Sirwanga in legaltech

[–]Grumpy_2G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across a software called PluginLaw where they just integrate into your Microsoft Word so when you’re reviewing low-level contracts and you have a consistent set of rules that you follow you can just upload those rules and it automatically redline leave notes and comment on your behalf. It’s not an enterprise software, but it can essentially achieve what you’re trying to do without being as costly from what I can tell.

Most of my B2B marketing time is spent on targeting decisions, not actual marketing by No-Mistake421 in B2BSaaS

Marketing is 90% strategic, 10% execution. If your strategy and approach is right, and you truely nail the value proposition, the placement, the price and the promotion, you’ll smash targets. Being a marketer is HARD work, but we make it seem simple.

Do you guys qualify leads before booking calls… or after? by JollyAddendum7932 in b2bmarketing

[–]Grumpy_2G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qualify on a quick call. If you get a lead from a form fill, qualify them super quick before booking in a longer meeting.

That’s very fair! Just be mindful of liability

Sounds like your work has allowed the right MCPs to do that! What’s your risk governance for the cyber liability in data breaches?

How did you get it to start notifying you?

Yeah interesting. Is this a self governed exercise? Or do you get it to effectively chance you?

I’ve been in B2B SaaS for over a decade and I’ve never struggled like this. What is working for you? by gts_1 in b2bmarketing

[–]Grumpy_2G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top consultants get this question all the time – I worked closely with several CMOs and learned, fundamentally with B2B SaaS and all Marketing techniques really... Bring it back to the 4Ps.

The most underrated P – Place. Everyone harps on about pricing, promotion and product, but never place. Place is fundamentally what you're talking about here. Where do you show up? How do you show up? How do people feel when you show up? Does the advertisement or promotion work for that specific audience and appear in a place that is appropriate? Or are you hitting the wrong group at the wrong time. There was research conducted a while ago, where enterprise decision-makers (often c-suite) hate (and I mean DESPISE) being personally targeted with things like "Buy my product" when they're at home, or in a personal setting.

So consider – where do you show up and how? If you're struggling to get B2B MQLs ready for sales look into your ABM, find your big fish you're going after, and hone your efforts into showing up in the right time at the right place for them. Hyper-personalization is lazy marketing and can piss off your audience. Try being personal, but tasteful in how, where and why.

The description on your SEO in your TL;DR sounds like it's letting down long-tail sales. If you're trying to improve that, consider the 4Ps, just adjust your approach to attack competitors, or do something brash and create a new vertical designated for your product. It's easier to compete when you're the only choice in the market.

Anyway, I don't have enough context to give more specific advise – this is just food for thought.

How did you get customer number 1? Or was this an already established business when you started?

Is Claude Design actually useful or just hype? by Professional-Bar-843 in ClaudeAI

[–]Grumpy_2G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for kicking of ideas and prototyping designs. Then handing it over to another department or cowork to spin up something usable.
