CXL - Only 5% of B2B buyers are ready to buy
I have 5 updates for you this week. 1. On my mind If B2C marketers thought like B2B marketers, Coca-Cola would market itself as “brown, fizzy, and sweet”.
- Mimi Turner
B2B marketers tend to focus solely on product capabilities, features, rational outcomes.
The problem with this approach is that most competing products are near identical. Pretty much every CRM, marketing automation tool, and project management software has every feature. They also say the same things about themselves.
If the marketer's job is to get their product into the very limited consideration set of category buyers, reading the fact sheet out loud is not gonna do it.
Follow me on LinkedIn for more thoughts on strategy, messaging and optimization. 2. Having the best product isn't all that important Buyers rarely choose the best product. Instead, they "satisfice" and choose familiar brands that offer "good enough" solutions.
Yes, you need a good product, but to win - you need other things on top.

When people are finally ready to make a purchase, your goal should be one of two things:
If you haven’t invested in brand awareness marketing then the opposite will happen. Your audience will flock to brands with a strong reputation because they don’t associate you with their need.
In this article, you’ll learn what brand awareness marketing is and how to become the only obvious choice when the prospect is ready to buy.
