93% of marketers say that content marketing generates more leads than other methods. But Only 30% of B2B marketers say their organizations are effective at content marketing.

​Effectiveness levels are greater among respondents with documentation, clarity around success, good communication, and experience.

Successful Content Marketing Requires A Strategy

How do you gain influence and overcome objections that stop a prospect from considering you? When you can't talk to them?  When they haven't yet engaged with your sales team?

B2B content marketing is all about knowing what information your buyers need and delivering it just when they need it.

It’s about guiding your customers on “the buyer's journey” and carrying on a natural dialog with properly targeted content.

​Effective content marketing requires a keen understanding of your buyers to deliver them credible, relevant and impactful information to influence their decisions.   And leverages marketing automation tools to automate processes and provide analytics to measure success and make course adjustments. 

When done right you meet buyers' needs at each stage of the decision-making process and make prospects feel like every interaction with you is a part of a natural dialog.

playbook for growing your business should be based on a strategy and focus on process.
One-time marketing projects and random acts of marketing don’t result in sustainable growth.  A playbook for growing your business must be precise, actionable, and in sync with your business objectives. You don’t just want to know that prospects are exposed to your value proposition; you want specific steps to improve engagement; have a way to measure progress and make adjustments as necessary.

The content to fuel the engine

The playbook defines when, where, and how many blog posts, whitepapers, webinars, and more that you will need to fuel your sales engine. It tells you which content topics to start with and organizes your content and lead nurturing campaigns not just to attract leads but to produce actionable metrics that, combined with the Lead Quality Report, tell you exactly which activities and channels produce your best results.

Building the Playbook 

The process for creating your playbook starts with a customized questionnaire that captures your target account profiles, buyer personas, the reasons people buy from you, and the reasons they don't. This carefully gathered information is then input into a proven model for attracting prospects and nurturing their interest to a point of qualified sales engagement.
