How Well Do You Understand Your B2B Buyers?
Are Your Messages Aimed at You or your Target Market?
When my clients and I discuss ideas for marketing programs, campaigns and messaging, they often say “I don’t think I would go for that”, or “that doesn’t sound appealing to me”, or “if I were the buyer, this is what I’d want”.
Do you see a problem here? Is it possible that buyers might want what doesn’t appeal to you or that they don’t love what you love? Are your decisions based on your personal perceptions rather than the reality of your target audience? If so, you won’t achieve your goals relative to the product/service that you've designed, the campaign you've launched, the channels you’ve selected, or the price points you've set.
