The helpful sales person is no longer needed.
Ahโฆ.the classic sales back and forth with a prospect.
I used to play this game all the time when visiting a store to buy a car, computer, TV, lawn mower, pretty much any time there was a sales person.
I had to ask the salesperson a lot of questions to get the detailed information I needed before buying something.
But then something happened:
๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ญ.
Now you can:
โ
Find product specs
โ
See prices
โ
Read reviews
โ
Make comparisons
online before going to the store and talking with the sales person.
In the B2C world, the internet has enabled all of us to become an informed buyer.
And this mindset has moved to the B2B world:

If you are
โ๏ธNot getting enough leads
โ๏ธNot getting quality leads
then you need to look no further than your website.
Your website is an integral part in the modern B2B buyers journey.
When your website is filled with:
โ Marketing fluff
โ Commodity content
โ Content that is only about you
โ Content that doesnโt answer their sales questions
Then you are getting placed in the โmaybe laterโ bucket.
Your website is the anchor and foundation for buyers in the research stage.
Give your buyers the sales information they need online.
Rank higher on their shortlist.
Get the lead.
Win the sale.
