How to enrich B2B CRM data?
Thinking OUTSIDE of the Funnel
Pre-entering the funnel:
Research shows that as much as 60% of B2B buying decisions are made even before the prospect enters your sales funnel. Before you can even make a sales pitch, he has consumed relevant information via social media, product comparison sites, paid ads, blog posts, third party guest posts, online reviews, white papers, conferences, influencer referrals, and the like.
Once in the funnel:
This being the case, once a prospect is in your sales funnel, your job is not so much to sell as to make sure you keep the prospect on the right track.
Once through the funnel:
And once you sell, a customer must not, like before, go off your radar. His after-sales experience is what can make or break your brand in the form of his reviews. In a way, he re-enters the starting point and can now be a repeat buyer or an influencer for someone else to enter the funnel, depending on the experience he left with.
It is important to understand that today’s consumer behavior on social media isn't such that it would immediately lead to a purchase. What happens is a cumulative effect – of seeing the product mentioned more than once by peers, influencers, ads – which ultimately leads the prospect in.
