What Do We Mean by “Buyer” in B-to-B?
While we often use the term “account” in b-to-b, an account is often not the true target
that product, marketing and sales have in mind when they think about the buyer.
Account Account: The buying entity – where
the contractual relationship exists
Buying Center Buying Center: A function or
department that the buyer persona is
associated with
Buying Group
Buying Group: A collection of
personas involved in the process to
buy an offering

Persona: An individual characterized
by job role

• Low sample size markets can be mapped manually,
with sales providing most of the intelligence about
where potential Demand Units reside
• Larger markets require data and analytic processes
to identify potential demand units.

Campaigns, Programs and Tactics Defined
Productive discussion of planning and measurement is grounded in a common
understanding of terminology; SiriusDecisions has created standards for key terms.
Campaign Program TacticProgram Family
• Theme based on
buyer need
• Drives go-to-market
strategy
• 12-month-plus
runtime
• All programs of a
specific type
• Reputation, demand
creation, sales
enablement, market
intelligence
• Quantifiable
objective
• Defined audience
• Integrated mix of
inbound and
outbound tactics
• Used in programs to
drive interactions
• Consists of an offer
and a delivery
mechanism

Common Challenges with Program Optimization
Barriers to program optimization keep demand marketers focused on small pieces of
the program that can only net incremental improvements.
Tactic Emphasis No Discipline Fear of FailureProgram Goals
Tactics are often
executed and
optimized in a siloed
manner
Lack of program
definition prevents
visibility of demand
creation impact
across tactics
Program and tactics
are executed with a
“set it and forget it”
approach
Culture does not
support smart failure,
so program owners
rely on what they
know

Personalized Web & Email Campaigns
Require Significant Time and Effort
• Lost web traffic – 98% of web visitors are
anonymous and only a small percent
convert
• Lackluster email conversions – Marketers
typically don’t have time to test 2nd and 3rd
level CTAs in their emails
• Low Content ROI – Hundreds of content
assets but most are collecting virtual dust in
their Resources section

Notas del editor Placeholder for transition to Kristen Always looking to improve performance of different tactics so that we can deliver the highest quality leads to Sales. We embarked on a test to understand how personalization of the sender effects open rates. Through a series of test, we found
generic emails to outperform emails from the Rep or lead owner.
Early stage and Mid stage found SIGNIFICANTLY higher CTO rates when coming from “Team Marketo”, which is a great measure of conversion.
The most surprising finding was that even at late stage we have:
4% higher open rate
5% higher click to open rate
