ONLINE
ATTENTION SPAN OF A
HUMMINGBIRD
1. Images
2. Headlines
3. Fact boxes and other elements
4. Body text – IF their interest is aroused
The average web surfer…
Looks at… Stays on one page for less
than a minute
Reads bits and bobs here
and there
THIS IS YOUR CLIENT
TODAY’S B2B BUYER
Initiates purchase
process, because a need has been identified inside the organisation
Actively seeks information, particularly
online
Wants to meet salespeople only,
when 2/3 of purchase process
is done
Trusts and relies on external
experts, especially with large purchases
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO FORGET
”Solution
selling is
dead” Harvard Business Review , July 2012
TODAY’S SALES PARADIGM
You need to convince
customers online
• …before you have a chance to talk to them
You need to provide
interesting content online
• …to build a credible expert image
You need to do this in less
than a minute
KIITOS. TACK. THANK YOU. 谢谢.
