Why should TikTok be included in your B2B marketing plan?

TikTok’s popularity has grown rapidly in Latin America and in countries such as the United States, and it appears that the application’s growth will continue in the near future, as the way in which businesses use the application for everything related to B2B has become extremely relevant. According to data presented by ByteDance Ltd. in January of this year, TikTok is the fastest growing social network in recent years, with more than 105 million monthly active users over the age of 18 worldwide. In this context and given the growth of a valued social network among  50 and 75 billion dollars, the following concern arises: how can TikTok help companies develop an optimal B2B marketing plan? From Isource Marketing, as an agency specialized in B2B, we offer you 5 key recommendations so that companies decide to invest in this important social network that continues to be a trend in the market:

1.Human Centric Marketing: One of the new trends in marketing that continues to grow is theHuman Centric Marketing, which consists of not only treating the client only as a consumer, but also as a person. In this way, Tik tok is presented as an important resource that demonstrates this trend with more humane and informal actions. The most recent statistics of Data Reportal show that B2B Companies on TikTok have a higher engagement and ROI rate than other brands, and this has led 58% of B2B marketers to increase investment within this platform. Likewise, the same study indicates that the average engagement rate on TikTok isof the 5.96%; the highest of all social networks.

2.Creative participation: Since TikTok is an entertainment social network, the content must attract users in a natural and creative way. So it is very useful to use the new trending hashtags that are published every week, as long as they are related to your content or you know how to relate them to your marketing efforts. It is also essential to upload content regularly to your profile, that will make users enter more times to see if you have news. To reinforce that creativity there are numerous viral videos that can be used to your advantage with a little imagination. These audios can be songs or dialogues from reality shows, series or movies that have gone viral. According to “tiktokers”, recording over short and viral audios makes you have a better chance of appearing on the recommendations page. Another option is to upload videos showing the infrastructure of your company, or work team, create short tutorials about your products or services. Finally, you can take quizzes through Tik Tok to engage potential customers in your content.

3.Success stories: This is a good tool to attract potential customers without advertising directly to them. a good start to create this type of content is finding stories in your industry and bringing the benefits to your audience. For example, Adobe is renowned for effectively handling B2B marketing on TikTok, as the company regularly posts some pretty eye-catching how-to videos, giving its customers the knowledge to get the most out of its tools and actively supporting the community they serve they try to sell. Additionally, Adobe launched in 2022 a campaign that connected creators with small businesses, awarding $10,000 to the finalist.

4.Find influencers on tik tok: If you’re not sure how to start creating content for your B2B business on TikTok, we recommend looking for influencers in your niche to get you off to a good start. The influencers of this social network are very familiar with the platform, the audience and the algorithms that consume content onTikTok. Using this information, you can create creative and exciting content that gets a large audience. Therefore it is key to find an influencer who understands your B2B product or service and invest monthly to create content for your company page.

5.First Party: This social network solution will allow companies to share details and information about those products and services that may be attractive to your customers, since it allows your company to create fluid interactions to reach your audience, in order to convert them in potential customers. Likewise, the tool allows the creation of customizable messages applicable to multiple customer segments.

MQL and SQL: The Key to Increase Your Sales in 2022

MQL and SQL: The Key to Increase Your Sales in 2022

MQL and SQL The key to increase your sales in 2022Lead generation is the basis of inbound marketing strategies (a commercial methodology that seeks to attract customers by creating valuable content.) However, not all leads are the same, and the path between the moment a user shares their data with us for the first time and the point at which they are ready to exercise the purchase action. For lead generation to work, it is essential to identify two stages in the process: Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) and Sales Qualified Lead (SQL).

The MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead) is the potential customer qualified by marketing, a person who knows exactly what they are looking for from a brand or company. They have explored the web and downloaded some free material in exchange for entering their data. With this information, the company can track their interactions.

The process of generating MQL is a fundamental challenge for marketing professionals, and it has been shown that having this indicator exponentially increases sales and the success of companies.

The MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead) is the potential customer qualified by marketing

However, it is important to note that if a lead is an MQL, it does not mean that they are ready to buy the product or contract the service; it may be a curious person, in the research phase, who may have been content with just downloading the free material and who in the future may buy the product or service.

To classify a lead as MQL you must:

  • Know in depth the profile of your ideal client.
  • Apply smarketing, a term in English to designate the strategy that aligns the sales and marketing teams, creating a synergy of techniques or tactics between them.
  • Carry out lead scoring, which consists of classifying your leads using criteria and scores.
  • Use tools and solutions that help you accurately control where your potential customer is in the funnel.

The SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) is the potential customer most likely to buy. They have gone through the entire funnel, interacted on the website, and perhaps have asked about a product or service that they consider the solution to a problem or the answer to a need. The MQL becomes an SQL thanks to strategic work that is possible if:

  • It matches the requirements of the ideal customer.
  • It has the necessary means to pay.
  • It is a decision-maker (for example, of legal age).
  • It has shown an interest in buying, not just browsing the web out of curiosity.

The SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) is the potential customer most likely to buy

Once we have the MQL, we establish an exchange of information that strengthens its link with the brand and this can encourage it to evolve to SQL, through the completion of the sale. This process of correctly qualifying the lead significantly increases the probability of closing a deal.

Using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) during this process of converting MQL leads into SQL helps improve team productivity, enhancing actions for each prospect.

Let’s remember that the CRM stores information on current and potential clients – name, address, telephone, etc –, and their activities and points of contact with the company, including visits to sites, telephone calls, and e-mails, among other interactions.

The platform gathers and integrates valuable data to prepare and update teams with personal customer information, purchase history and preferences, which allows the prospect’s history and the actions that have been developed with the MQL to be concentrated in one space and the SQLs.

A CRM organizes and automates accounts and contacts in an accessible way, in real-time, accelerating and simplifying the sales process, this avoids depending on reminders in sticky notes and spreadsheet analysis. Instead, leads are sent to the sales team, who always have access to up-to-date information.
