Approach to Reaching B2B Prospects

To reach B2B prospects, it is important to first identify the relevant software category and where your brand fits within it. In the case of Searchmetrics, their category is enterprise SEO software. Next, creating buyer personas helps understand the needs and position of potential customers in the sales cycle. By reaching out to the right buyers through appropriate channels and at the right stage of their decision-making process, marketing can increase the number of deal cycles. This requires effective segmentation and targeting strategies.
