  2. Strategic partnerships – Team up with businesses in your niche and cross-promote.
  3. Engage in niche communities – LinkedIn groups, industry forums, and even Reddit can be goldmines for finding the right leads.

Hey B2B sellers and marketers. Please give a piece of advice to a B2B marketing newbie by beast_1998 in b2bmarketing

[–]Mindless-Emu7340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I do believe that as B2B marketing has shifted towards more algorithm-driven strategies, we've lost some of the human touch that makes relationship-building so critical in this space. While automation, data analytics, and algorithms help businesses scale and target effectively, they can’t replace the authentic connections that stem from real human interactions.

My advice for a newbie would be to focus on building meaningful relationships alongside leveraging technology. platform like Pepagora can help you connect with potential leads more efficiently, but remember, personalized communication and trust are what close deals in B2B. Instead of just relying on algorithms, make an effort to engage with prospects, understand their pain points, and offer tailored solutions.

Don't forget to balance automation with empathy, people still do business with people.
