Understanding Who You’re Selling To - Cliff Simon - B2B EQ - Episode # 26
In a market that is more competitive than ever, sellers are having a harder time standing out. Your new product isn’t as new anymore, and your buyers don’t want to deal with lengthy contracts. We’re joined this episode by a RevOps expert who wants to help you close deals faster by building the right relationships. Our guest this week is CRO of the Carabiner Group, Cliff Simon.
Cliff and Tim Harris sit down to share strategies for selling in a more digital world. Cliff explores the value of personal branding, the need to know how your target accounts drive revenue, and B2C tactics that can help B2B sellers.
Takeaways:
- Personal branding and authentic networking humanize a company, making it more relatable and approachable. These strategies foster trust and credibility, positioning the company as a top-of-mind choice when opportunities arise that align with its offerings.
- Building relationships and becoming a subject matter expert are crucial for establishing credibility and trust with potential clients, two key factors in decision-making. The digital age allows for far-reaching connections, driving organic business growth.
- Understanding the financial and operational aspects of customers' businesses is crucial for success. Without this insight, solving the wrong problems and misaligning solutions can lead to ineffective outcomes and missed opportunities.
- When it comes to improving RevOps, assessing current performance and identifying bottlenecks is crucial. Understanding the customer's buying journey and leveraging technology creates more successful processes, regardless of the company's stage.
- B2B buyers are adopting B2C purchasing behavior, necessitating companies to adjust their approach. Simplified checkout processes, inspired by Amazon, are replacing complex contracts, reflecting a shift towards streamlined experiences.
- In today's market, sellers need to overcome previous bad experiences, brand loyalty, and products from competitors. Building trust and establishing yourself as a credible resource will create a large differentiator for your brand in the eyes of your buyer.
- With RevOps offering better efficiency on tech implementation, they more frequently are offered a seat at the buying table. Sellers need to understand how to work with, and sell to, those teams to ensure a smooth integration of their product.
