PathFactory + G2: Enable Your Buyer With User-Generated Content
My son turns 2 in May, which means pretty soon he’ll go from sleeping in a crib to a toddler bed…and that means he is free. Free to roam around his room, climb on furniture, smash his toys against the wall. It’s a terrifying prospect that anyone with a 2 year old can relate to.
As you can imagine, a video baby monitor is essential for my wife and I to keep tabs on him as he explores his newfound twilight freedom. Naturally, I hopped on Amazon and binge-consumed all the information I could find on video baby monitors–pictures, specs, feature sheets, product reviews, you name it. Having a wealth of product information and reviews easily available helped me find the perfect model within a couple of hours and order it on the spot.
The importance of a frictionless buying experience
Frictionless buying experiences like this are setting a whole new bar for B2B marketing. The modern B2B consumer demands a seamless buying process, free of barriers and hurdles. They want all the information required to make a purchase decision at their fingertips, in the moment they want it. For this reason, many old B2B bad habits won’t cut it anymore. Things like throwing mandatory forms up in front of content or making prospects wait a week for the next email nurture–It’s no longer a satisfactory experience for the modern buyer. It’s time to evolve to meet the expectations of the new B2B consumer.
