“Customers use digital channels at all stages of their buying journey.”

Gartner, 2018

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?


Over 87% of our customers gather information on digital channels before, during and after a purchase.

This means that it is no longer we who are driving a sales process towards the customer - but the customer who is driving a buying process towards us.

We must meet the customer on their turf: Online.

To do this, we need to revise the way we segment our customers. Our customers are not attributes such as their industry, role or persona. They are individuals who find themselves in situations we can help them solve.

To succeed, we need to create buying journeys that target the situations our customers find themselves in.

“We need to look past the customer's persona and instead market to the situations they find themselves in."

Example of a situation based buying journey

Start with an insight targeting the situation your customers may find themselves in. Offer your insight in for example a guide behind a form. Produce articles and other content about the situation and the insight, and spread this content via social media and paid ads.

Continue nurturing contacts who download your guide with educational and relevant content, and get in touch when your customer is interested in talking.
