The first book devoted entirely to B2B social marketing
B2B markets are fundamentally different from consumer markets.
Decisions are made on value, not impulse. Buying cycles are
complex, often with many stakeholders involved. Relationships and
support are critical. Bet-the-business decisions demand discipline,
knowledge, and lots of information.
This hands-on guide covers topics unique to this segment,
including cost justification, prospecting and lead generation,
matching tools to the sales funnel, building, B2B search engine
optimization, social media monitoring, social media policy
development, long-term client relationships, gaining stakeholder
support, building a more transparent organization, and what’s
coming next.
* Features plentiful examples, case studies, and best
practices
* Focuses on the channels that are most effective for B2B
marketers
* Builds on the authors’ more than 30 years of combined
experience in the new media/social media space, as well as two
previous successful books
Leverage the vast business-to-business potential of Facebook,
Linked In, Twitter, and many other social media platforms today with
Social Marketing to the Business Customer!
