EVENT DETAILS |
In late 2016, analyst firm International Data Corporation predicted that global spending on I.T. products & services will reach $2.7 trillion in 2020, a 12.5% increase from the projected $2.4 trillion in sales for 2016. That's good news for B2B businesses & startups building products for the enterprise. But selling to enterprise customers & other small businesses has a unique set of challenges & nuance that can be daunting for any startup. Selling for the enterprise requires a keen understanding of your product & the dynamics & trends in the market, as well as good pricing, marketing & people who do the selling. You also need to show how your product will make your potential customer's business more productive & profitable. Join us as we discuss B2B Marketing & Customer Acquisition topics like
Getting customers for an MVP or pilot.
Pricing your product for businesses.
Differentiating between marketing & sales. And coordinating between the two.
Hiring & growing marketing & sales teams.
Leveraging channels like paid advertising & social.
Understanding the role of branding & awareness marketing.
Calculating lifetime value, the cost of acquisition & other key metrics.
Qualifying customers & leads.
And, as always, thinking about where to begin.
