The Challenge: Filling Your Funnel With Qualified Leads

The buying process for B2B technology is long and complex, and only 4% of website visitors are actively looking to buy - how do you do reach the other 96%? And how do you identify the best prospects?

You might have invested a lot of time and resources into your website but are disappointed it's not producing the qualified leads and customers you'd hoped for. You may be doing everything "right" - and investing time and effort into SEO, AdWords, and content but, haven’t seen results, or if you have, it hasn’t translated to more leads and sales.

Many technology companies feel that because they have a great product and breakthrough advances that it will attract interest.  But the data doesn't lie, you might have steady traffic to your website and digital channels, but are you attracting the highest quality prospects? Are visitors bouncing, only to move on to a competitor? There are a number of factors which might contribute to the problem including, your persona targeting, your content, your content promotion, your landing pages, or all of the above.

The Solution: Help Them Throughout The Buyer's Journey 

content-type-or-format-in-the-buyers-journey_1 Technology marketing needs very compelling content to address both technical and business audiences.


We develop a plan to increase qualified leads by maintaining a seamless transition through their buying process, from awareness to decision, which leads your buyers to gain insight about your unique value.


​Buyers progress through a number of stages before purchasing, and you need to connect with them at each one, if you want to have an impact on their buying decisions. Initially, you need to gain the buyer's attention and make them aware of your offering, then convince buyer stakeholders you meet their technical and business requirements, and ultimately assure them their purchase is a sound and justifiable business decision.

​The key to connecting with buyers is understanding their needs, motivations, and challenges. We can help you to capture this information in buyer personas for each role and stage in the buying process and to map content that helps move buyers to the next stage in the buying process.


With a constant flow of fresh targeted content promoted through the right channels, you can build awareness and affinity, drive traffic, and generate leads. And by employing comprehensive sales enablement, you'll ensure that handing off a lead to sales continues a natural conversation with buyers, creating internal champions and turning leads into customers.

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.
