from thought leadership to revenue - june 2013
DESCRIPTION
Thought leadership is an increasingly vital tool in B2B go-to-market programmes. Yet many organisations still struggle with how to convert their insights and opinions to pipeline and sales. To help address these challenges, The Channel Partnership has produced a “From Thought Leadership to Revenue” guide, which delivers a six-stage framework for translating thought leadership into revenue. This presentation was delivered by Phil Brown, Director, at the B2B Summit 2013 and runs through the key topics noted within the guide.TRANSCRIPT

From Thought Leadership to Revenue
Why does it matter?
B2B buyers don’t need suppliers to learn about products or technologies
Buyers are engaging suppliers later in the decision-making cycle
Responding to RFPs isn’t the route to profitability
Prospects want perspective and insight, not a product pitch
Being perceived as a thought leader gets you in the game
A changing model
What gets in the way?

Scattergun approach
Not linked to what you do
Failure to enable sales channels
Disconnect with demand generation
