B2B marketing helps buyers at target accounts discover your product or service, evaluate whether it fits their needs, and move toward an inquiry or sales conversation. Because end users, implementation leads, security teams, and budget owners may all influence the decision, your marketing must support each stakeholder and connect cleanly with the sales process. If you already know the goal you want to achieve, go to the Goal Guides. If you already know which channels or tactics you want to work on, go to the Channel Guides.

If you’re unsure where to start

Choose the row that most closely matches your current metrics or sales challenges and pick one tactic to start with. If multiple rows apply, start from the stage where the customer’s evaluation most frequently stalls. Your website is the place where visitors from SEO, GEO, and social media evaluate your product or service. If your site lacks the information and conversion paths required for a purchase decision, start with the website.

Who this guide is for

This guide is intended for businesses that sell products or services to companies through inquiries, consultations, demos, estimates, and internal evaluation processes. It is aimed at executives, business owners, and marketing personnel who provide B2B products, enterprise systems, equipment, training, and similar offerings. Software and apps where users sign up themselves and start a free trial or paid use follow a different purchase flow and are covered in guides for software and apps. If you have both sales channels, use the guide that matches the channel you want to improve now.

How B2B buyers move from discovery to contract

In B2B offerings, a single website visitor rarely makes the final decision. Multiple people within the company review information from different perspectives, then proceed through inquiries, sales opportunities, and internal evaluation before contracting. The person who first gathers information, the team that will use the product, and the approver responsible for budget and risk may be different. The table below maps common stakeholders to the information each one needs. Not every organization involves all these roles. Confirm your company’s contract path and prepare the information required by the actual stakeholders. Customer relationships generally follow this progression:
Marketing creates touchpoints with target accounts and provides the information buyers need before an inquiry. After an inquiry, use the pages they viewed, the problems they researched, and the resources they downloaded to inform the sales conversation, then provide any additional information required as the opportunity progresses.

​
Measure each stage of the funnel

In B2B, looking only at the final number of contracts doesn’t reveal which stage needs improvement. Break down the process from awareness to value realization after contract and review each stage. Don’t only fix the stage with the fewest numbers; check whether target accounts have the right information at the previous stage. For example, if opportunity count is low, review not only the consultation page but also whether enough leads are being generated from target accounts.

​
Define your target market and next action

Before starting tactics, decide who you are targeting, what you will communicate, and what action you want them to take. The items to clarify first are: After defining your target accounts and the next action, check which touchpoints and information are currently lacking, then follow the applicable Channel Guides to put them into practice.
