Podcast: Word-of-mouth B2B marketing
How to promote B2B products and services through word of mouth
Summary: Quite possibly the strongest asset a B2B salesman can have for his product or services is word-of-mouth “marketing”.
The reason I call it “Marketing” is that you CAN and should take a systematic approach to promoting word of mouth. Yet, this is something many sales reps tend to forget. The rely heavily on their own personal network (alone) for B2B sales.
When you are in B2B sales, you need to make sure that others speak about your services and products. As a salesman, you will want to extend your communication network to as many people as possible, promoting your product and services.
Why not start with your employees and colleagues in your organization?
Brand advocates from your own organization can help promote your products and services tremendously. Especially when it comes to B2B-sales, be sure to share your work. Give your colleagues a reason to be proud of working at your organization. Each and every single individual in your company can be that sales person you dream of.
