Are Buyers Confident Enough To Put You On Their Shortlist?
Buyers complete most of their research and shortlists before contacting a vendor. If your marketing is not built around how buyers evaluate and decide during that process, you are not being considered.
We help you build the marketing system that changes that.

* Sounds obvious. It's not. Most B2B companies organize marketing around internal activity and scattered tactics. Building a system around how buyers actually research, evaluate, and decide is what puts you on their shortlist.
Optimize For Buyer Confidence, Not Visibility
Three reasons why buyer confidence determines who gets shortlisted.
Buyers consider the vendors to shortlist during their research phase
Buyers complete most of their vendor selection research independently. By the time they contact a vendor, their shortlist is largely set. A lot of B2B marketing is not built around that reality.
Earning Buyer Confidence determines who gets shortlisted, not visibility
Getting found is only the first step. What buyers do after they find you is what determines whether you make their shortlist. That is the part of the buyer journey many companies don’t formally address.
Buyer confidence is built by demonstrating your credibility and proof
What moves a skeptical buyer to shortlist a vendor is evidence that exists outside your own claims. Earning that proof along the buyer journey, is what separates companies that get shortlisted from those that do not.

A Culture Of Buyer Confidence - A Corporate Manifesto
We wrote a Manifesto about what happens when a company makes buyer confidence a company-wide mandate and not just a marketing outcome. What happens when leadership decides that how the entire organization treats prospects is the standard every department works toward.
For the executives who are ready to think about buyer confidence as a competitive advantage at an organizational level, it is worth reading.
We don’t expect everyone to agree with this view. But we’ve seen enough to believe it is worth sharing. Some executives will ignore it. Others may find it changes how they think about growth entirely. If you’re curious, we invite you to read further.
