This document discusses frameworks for understanding customer psychology and engaging customers throughout the purchase process. It describes how customers now research purchases online before speaking to sales reps, and how content and conversations can be used at various touchpoints to better engage customers. Two approaches, Customer Experience programs and Product Advisor conversations, are presented for engaging existing and potential customers through personalized, online interactions.
2. 2
Buyers are individuals who have different
ways of approaching a purchase decision
The sales funnel is no longer vertical
and certainly not linear!
Why?
Real buyers are not personas. They bring
their own style & sensibilities to the
purchase process.
Buyers are 70% of the way through the purchase
process before they engage a sales rep.
The Sales
Cocktail
Shaker?
This 70% of the process can be marketings big
revenue opportunity!

Engaging content needs to be plugged at
various touch points
Content should not be a strategy,
instead it should be a solution to a
problem
4. 4
For both existing & new customers
engagement is key

CX & PA have been found to be effective
means of engaging
The Customer Experience (CX) Program for existing customers aims
to engage with key customers as partners in product innovation &
enhancement.
The conversations are designed to:
Stay in touch
Map their needs with future enhancements in offerings
Improve brand loyalty
Design events
奄..And of course to identify opportunities to up-sell into these accounts
The Product Advisor approach is an effective tool to engage with
potential customers and qualify prospects.
The conversations are designed to:
Reach out & promote the brand
Identify where they stand in the overall tech-maturity grid, existing
infrastructure & problems
Point them towards solutions that are appropriate for the near term
..And of course to identify the potential to buy

Engaging content needs to be plugged at
various touch points
We need to
decide upon
our strategy by
defining our
initial area of
intervention.
and leverage
existing
content like
podcasts,
infographics,
videos, product
trials

CX
7. 7
Besides content & design both CX & PA
are quite similar in terms of logistics
Both approaches are white-labeled, are non-intrusive, have a
comparatively low carbon footprint, and help you remain hardwired
to your stakeholders
Both use dynamic web forms that have a much higher
engagement & stickiness as compared to static pages & content.
Research indicates that dynamic web forms have a 38% higher
conversion rate
Both can be launched via email blasts, pop-ups in microsites,
web sites, boom-box ads in third party web sites and online
publications, plug-ins in social media or a combination of all these
The
underlying
idea in both
initiatives is
to minimize
the
incidence of
sales
chasing
half-baked
leads,
and/or
engaging in
premature
demos.
