Today, small businesses are going to the Internet first to begin their purchasing process. Why because they are tired of being “sold to”, (interrupted). In fact, they never did need to be “sold to”. If you are in business, you need to be both buying and selling all the time.Our objective is to motivate qualified B2B sales prospects to contact you. These are "ready to buy" leads based on having received quality information about your company on how to solve a particular business problem.
So where did the idea that someone might need to be “sold to” come from in business? The answer is from big business marketing techniques that decided unless consumers were “sold to” they won’t buy. While perhaps true in B2C selling and marketing, it has never really been true in B2B marketing. Moreover, even if it was true at some time that time is long past.
The Internet Changes Everything
In the age of information is power, the power to sell is all in the information messages you disseminate not in “annoying your prospects to death to buy from you. Your customers need to buy, but what they seek are real solutions, not just a product or service. Simply put, they want solutions that solve real-world business problems.
