FROM THE EDITOR


One of the things I enjoy most about the Follow Your Buyer community is our readers are in both marketing and sales roles. Marketers need to embrace their business development colleagues as they navigate learning new ways to connect with prospects, leverage content, and understand the buyer's journey.

 

Some content marketing dictionaries include dozens, even hundreds of terms. Sales teams on the receiving end of content marketing leads don't need to know about things like canonicalization. They need to know these basics, which are outlined in this week's featured article.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

-Abby

Although this HBR article focuses mostly on B2C, there are some B2B lessons sprinkled in.
 
 
Our Questions Are Important To Us, But Do They Get At What The Customer Needs To Express?
 

David Brock writes, "We focus on the issues most important to us–which tend to focus on our products and services–but may miss the issues that are really critical to the customer." This is often true both in conversations with prospects and in the content we put in front of them. And it's time to change that.
