Global Drivers : Buyers

You are here:

Best Practices: Success for any business relies on knowing its customers’ needs and providing the right products and solutions at the right time. And as B2B buying becomes more Buyer-centric and sophisticated, such as with ABM Buying Groups, Personas, etc. – proving the case for your products and solutions becomes much more nuanced and progressive. So a clear understanding of your Buyers and their needs and solutions, as well as the process for addressing those effectively, is critical to successful and relevant content that drives self-serve selling.

Section Specifics: Here you define the “global” Buyers/Buying Groups your company as a whole is targeting with this Splash. In traditional Demand Gen terms that may be individual Buyer types such as an Executive Level Buyer or a Management Level Buyer (with sub-personas for both). For ABM, that might be a vertical-centric grouping consisting of multiple stakeholder personas (e.g. – a product scout, a mid-level evaluator, a senior level decision maker, etc.)

Splashmetrics is designed to work seamlessly with virtually any of these leading B2B marketing and sales methodologies.

At this Tier 1 stage of the planning keep these relatively general as they apply to most all your company’s Buyers. These serve to set the strategic framework for all your downstream team members.

Single Tier Package Specifics

Your settings here will always include BOTH the Buyer/Buyer Group and any Personas that fall under that.

Multi-Tier Package Specifics

At this Tier 1 stage of the planning, you might not want to assign specific Personas here – and instead, allow your downstream teams to do that in their Summary Views as those personas fit that specific product or solution.

For example, let’s say your Splash will be an ABM initiative. Here you might just define the general Buying Roles that the content experiences will be customized for – such as End User, Influencer, and Decision Maker.

Then your Tier 3 departments/product-areas will assign specific personas under each. This will be used to refine the messaging personalization in the content experiences for these specific Personas. These might be specific titles or roles within the target companies.

Remember, you have the freedom in Splashmetrics to tailor your strategic planning to your exact needs. So be creative!
