Most prospects have an established supply chain relationship. So, how will you convince them to give your company a chance? Focus on emotional drivers that guide decision-making!

Focus on Human Emotions

Marketing methods and channels change, but buyers remain human first and foremost. That’s why values and benefits-based approaches work best. Follow these steps to find solid leads and convert those leads to new customers:

  • Get to know your target prospect
  • Show you care
  • Build a relationship with prospects
  • Use marketing automation to deliver the right message at the right time

 

Relationship-building Begins with First Impressions

Develop prospect personas by thinking about industrial customers have you have hoped to get but been unable to convert. Conduct research and build personas based on your ideal prospects.

Once you’ve done the work to develop prospect personas, you will know their needs and priorities. Take that knowledge and show prospects that you care about them.

Build trust by sharing your purpose. And make sure that purpose aligns with their priorities!

Content that Attracts New Manufacturing Customers

Develop content that will communicate credibility. Here are good examples of content that will attract new customers:

  • Product specifications
  • Quality metrics
  • Capabilities
  • Clear benefits of establishing relationship with your company
  • What to expect every step of the way
