B2B Social media: beyond likes & shares
Social media is a growth platform for B2B in addition to B2C; it’s which B2C plays up likes and shares, B2B plays up relationships, lead quality, and business impact.
Reach: Quality over quantity.
For B2B, we see precision as more important than volume. We use segmentation, paid promotions, and audience-specific messaging to reach decision makers instead of general audiences.
Engagement: Meaningful interactions
Encourage the exchange of valuable information and discussion, which in turn supports the development of trust and is the base for business growth. B2B engagement, which is built on quality interaction, sets the stage for the sales process.
Conversion: Tangible business results
Track which social actions produce results, such as lead generation, demo requests, and sales. We also put in place social platforms’ integration with CRM and analytics tools to map out the customer journey from point of interaction to conversion.
Aligning metrics with business goals
Integrate social media into overall corporate goals. Look at pipeline growth together with average deal size and customer lifetime value to determine true ROI. In B2B, we believe that a single great response from a key account is better than thousands of fake human likes.
Social media success is a result of what channels present real value and measurable results, which in turn align with the big picture business goals. We see this play out in the design of strategic processes, which in turn enable companies to protect, promote, engage with, and develop lasting relationships with decision makers, which in turn we grow into very valuable assets.
