Understanding Customers
Understanding customers lights a fire under your market and business strategy, product development and marketing communications efforts. Understanding customers warms and informs market strategy from the fuzzy front-end of new product development, through product launch and beyond to reaching customers.
Market and customer research enlightens the road to profitability by focusing on your product and market context, and on solving real customer problems. Your B2B technology customers, the future users of your offers, are embedded in a market place. These are the three key elements required to understand market; customer need, the market space and alternatives to your offers, i.e. competitors.
Assignments to understand your market include:
- Learning about customers, such as B2B customer persona development, using the rich array of B2B data sources and expert techniques.
- Undertaking market research to scope market size, segmentation and trends.
- Exploring competitors’ positioning, offers and marketing communication.
- Identifying, prioritizing and filling gaps in understanding the customer journey.
- Working with your people to better articulate the value you provide to customers.

Marketing content assignments include:
Consider the marketing content needed to answer your prospective customer questions.
Figuring out and producing content to guide and support your prospects through their journey from awareness, to trust, and purchase, to customer retention. “Digital marketing central”, aka your website, is your single most important B2B technology marketing content hub and communication’s vehicle and, typically, a corner stone of your commercial success.
Marketing channel assignments include:
Scoping and guiding your team to establish marketing communications channels with practical considering of your available resources and skills.
Marketing campaigns bring together marketing content and channels for a specific, time-bound purpose, such as launching a new product, or inspiring customer to move to a new and improved version.
