The inbound marketing rules have changed. Simply attracting leads naturally through content, social networks and search engines is no longer enough—especially for organizations with long or complex buying cycles (often the case in B2B).
Today’s B2B marketers need to also keep leads interested and engaged throughout the buying cycle, establish trust and preference, and then retain the relationship post-sale.
Success in this type of closed-loop marketing requires:
- Greater sophistication and personalization in outreach and communications.
- Better reporting capabilities, pinpointing which activities drive results.
- Increased coordination and alignment with sales representatives.
- Integration of loyalty-building strategies to nurture existing customers.
Take your marketing program to the next level by moving beyond lead acquisition, to lead nurturing and client retention, and reap the financial benefits.
Our new ebook, The B2B Marketer’s Guide to Going Inbound, will help you learn how to leverage marketing technology, inbound strategy and tactics, to generate and nurture high-quality leads smarter and faster than the competition.
