In a world of automation and robots… be the HUMAN!

Sales Vibes: Tuning into Your Buyer's Human Frequency buyer persona b2b sales cmo to go

Hey Digital Marketing and B2B Sales Trailblazers! Are you busy navigating the bustling world of digital marketing and business development? Hustling to get the juiciest ROI from your efforts?

Whether you're rocking the digital waves, dancing with influencers, farming or hunting for new leads, or building a business empire, two mega-questions are knockin' at your door. Ready to jam with 'em?

1. Do you REALLY Know Your Target Buyer? 

I'm not talking about just surface-level stuff. Let's dive into the deep end:

  • Are you vibin' with your audience?  I mean truly getting into their groove?
  • Can you tap into their beat and know what makes their hearts race?
  • Ever wondered what tunes play in their heads late at night? What challenges are they strumming to?
  • As they jam through their LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok or Facebook, what makes them stop and groove to your content?
  • Do you know everything you possibly can about your target customer? If you don't, you should!

If these questions have you missing a beat, it's time for a remix.  Let's get you harmonizing with not just what they look like, but what they feel, dream and crave.

2. How's Your Brand Lighting Up the Digital Stage? 

Look, the digital concert is packed! Every brand is vying for that spotlight. How is your act different?

  • What's that electric guitar riff that makes your brand unforgettable amidst the noise?
  • Are you the headline act or just another band in the line-up?
  • How's your song echoing in the market? Is your melody distinct and captivating?

A lil' heart to heart here, Rockstars: It's a loud digital concert out there. Loads of brands think they're the headliner, the main act. But here's the mic drop: are they? Or is it just a catchy hook that fades?

How do you really stack up?  How are you, your brand and your products and services positioned within your target market.

Many sales and business development leaders have limited sales mindsets. They lower their sales goals because they don't believe they can achieve a higher goal. This often roots in the fact they simply do not know their target customer and they don't know their market. Or they may be afraid of new technology such as artificial intelligence.

Often times sales leaders think all that “target marketing” and “target buyer persona” speak is for the marketing team. Unfortunately they believe their primary focus is to “sell” which to them means talk about themselves, their product and company ALL THE TIME!  They make up this excuse usually because someone internal or external sold them on the power of brand storytelling. The only issue here is they confused brand storytelling with “stealing the stage and only talking about myself” story!

While this self centered sales representative, sales leader or maybe even a CEO is busy doing the “blab blab blab” about themselves, the potential client is waiting on the edge of their seat for the sales person to hand them the mic! They want to be part of the story. They want to share the stage with you and be your brand hero. They want you to focus on them, your target BUYER! You can't sell to them effectively if you don't know who they are and specifically what value you can offer them that is unique and better than the last 5 sales representatives they wasted time with!

This is an inside your organization, every employee responsibility! Every person inside of an organization who touches the outside world and communicates with your customers or potential clients should also know the answer to the two questions I listed above and explained in the video.
