With B2B marketing shifting to email, web, and digital channels, it is imperative for marketers and sales professionals to personalize communications and rise up above the noise. Your keys to success: 1) Custom-tailor communications specific to the personality type of each individual and 2) stay plugged into the ground-level intelligence of your prospects’ business.
Persona based marketing is dead
Traditionally, B2B marketers have relied on the age-old tactics of stereotyping individuals into personas i.e cohorts based on similarities in their demographics, roles, age, and gender. It’s a broad brushstroke approach on how to address prospective buyers. This no longer works because in our ‘civilian’ lives, we are used to being catered to in a highly personalized manner. B2B clients also wish to be engaged on a much more personal level.
Marketers need to innovate on how they connect with buyers and must adopt a focused, personality-based marketing approach. However, given the sheer volume and scale of data, how can companies extract valuable insights and act on them at the right time?
