If you lead marketing or sales in a B2B environment, this scene will feel familiar: the CRM is full of leads, campaigns are still running and yet the pipeline isn’t moving at the expected pace. Teams spend hours on repetitive tasks, salespeople chase contacts who aren’t ready to buy, and acquisition costs keep rising.
You publish, you invest, you measure… and yet your content still doesn’t convert as it should. It’s not a lack of effort. It’s that content marketing, as we used to know it, no longer works. And those who fail to adapt in time will simply disappear from their customers’ radar.
Last week, in our article “The Complete Account-Based Marketing (ABM) Guide for Technology Companies (I)”, you discovered what ABM really is (and what it isn’t), why this strategy fits perfectly within the B2B technology sector, and the three levels of personalisation —One-to-One, One-to-Few and One-to-Many— to help you choose the model that best suits your resources and objectives.
Your sales team chases 200 leads. Only 3 close. Sound familiar?
There are B2B brands that speak… but say nothing. They publish, send emails, launch campaigns, update their websites… and yet their message sounds exactly like every other company in the industry. In the IT space, where everyone promises “innovation”, “end-to-end solutions” and “customer experience”, many brands get lost in noise that doesn’t inspire, doesn’t engage and—most importantly—doesn’t convert.
