5 STEPS FOR BETTER DEMAND GENERATION THAT REALLY WORK The Smareters
Introduction The Smareters The past couple of years have been quite challenging for B2B marketers as it was impossible to access traditional lead generation channels like in-person meetings, live events, etc. The constant shift towards the new virtual world has replaced the need for lead generation with demand generation. Several companies are now adopting B2B demand generation strategies. Though demand generation sounds quite familiar to lead generation, specific touch points make them different and essential. Therefore, let’s now explore demand generation, what makes it different from lead generation, and the vital steps that help build a strong demand generation program.
What is Demand Generation? The Smareters • Demand generation is an activity that creates interest or awareness in the service or product, ultimately creating a pipeline to grow your business. • It is a collective term covering all the sales and marketing initiatives across the customer’s journey – from being a prospect to upselling. • B2B demand generation neither creates unnecessary demand for sale nor tricks people into buying something that is not needed. • Instead, it targets the right audience with the correct information at the right time.
Demand Generation Different from Lead Generation? The Smareters • B2B Lead generation concentrates on capturing the current demand instead of creating it. Capturing demand means the competition will be high, and the close rate will be low. It is like a big ocean where everyone fights over the same customer. • However, demand generation strategies create demand for the product, which ultimately converts into a potential lead. • Therefore, creating demand will significantly decrease the competition, shorten the sale cycles, and result in better close rates and margins. • But remember that demand generation needs a lot of patience, as you cannot rush someone to become a customer instantly.
