Business-to-Business (B2B) is a commerce transaction between businesses. In this case, one business sells products or services to another business. For example, a manufacturer can sell to a wholesaler, or a wholesale can sell to a retailer. Business-to-Business technology is a technological service or product sold to a business by another business to accomplish technological tasks . Not all businesses can invent their own technologies, so they have to buy that technology from other businesses or manufacturers of that specific technology.

 B2B marketing, as it is commonly known) involves the sale of one company’s product or service to another company

B2B or, in some countries, BtoB) refers to a situation where one business makes a commercial transaction with another. This typically occurs when:

  • A business is sourcing materials for their production process (e.g. a food manufacturer purchasing salt).
  • A business needs the services of another for operational reasons (e.g. a food manufacturer employing an accountancy firm to audit their finances).
  • A business re-sells goods and services produced by others (e.g. a retailer buying the end product from the food manufacturer).

To get started I'd like to provide a high-level view of the four essentials for an effective campaign.

1. Get Buy-In for Telemarketing

Too often, telemarketing campaigns don't have buy-in from the whole organization. It's a key reason so many companies try telemarketing and fail. For telemarketing to be successful, it must be well coordinated, supported at the highest levels, and integrated with the organization's strategic plan.

2. Use Telemarketing to Bridge the Gap

Whether the telemarketing call center is internal or outsourced, a campaign can't be conducted in the silo of either the sales or marketing department.

That's because sales people tend to be focused on the short term – sales leads TODAY. Meanwhile, marketing is able to look at the big picture, keeping their eyes on the faraway horizon. By working with both departments, the telemarketing call center can stay on message, and build and nurture leads that are highly qualified by the time they're handed over to sales. This creates teamwork between the departments-- good for business today and in the future.

3. Hire Well and Train Your Telemarketing Agents

Customers don't want to talk to an agent who's not on the same wavelength. Therefore, outsourcing telemarketing to third-world countries is risky because of cultural barriers and communication difficulties.

But language fluency is not the only requirement. Phone representatives must also have an in-depth knowledge of the industry, company, product and service offering. It takes a lot of training for agents to be able to engage with clients, answer questions accurately, and be equipped to follow up.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they must have the ability to listen, and understand clients' needs so they can solve problems and unearth opportunities.

4. Measure Telemarketing Results

Many companies call a telemarketing campaign "successful" if they generate a pile of leads. But is it?

Any good business decision must be based on return-on-investment (ROI). That means looking at what it cost to generate the leads, the sales that were generated in the short term, and, in some industries, the potential lifetime value of sales from new, long-term customers.

Remember, telemarketing is based on building relationships. Don't expect blowout results in the first weeks.

B2B telemarketing and B2B telesales are often used interchangeably, but their distinctions are important. While both terms describe activities via the telephone to increase sales, telemarketing is a broader function than telesales. Telesales is more targeted with a specific mission, while telemarketing has several goals and methods. Let's examine these differences.

B2B Telemarketing is a suite of services designed to increase brand awareness and to discover new leads and opportunities via direct conversations with potential customers. Telemarketing has an outbound cold calling in common with Telesales, but each call can have multiple purposes including:

  • Lead generation, qualification and segmentation
  • Appointment setting for inside sales teams
  • Market research and polling
  • Customer feedback and retention
  • Turning leads into opportunities

B2B Telesales is much more focused than B2B Telemarketing. The mission is simple - convert leads into sales. Telesales professionals, at least in principle, receive qualified sales leads from telemarketers and other marketing channels and proceed to close them via outbound calling. The most effective telesales people have usually experienced telemarketers who can move leads down the "sales funnel" towards a sale as needed.

The decision is rarely a simple either-or choice. A B2B Telesales cold calling campaign without effective upstream lead generation will generally suffer from low conversion rates, while a great B2B lead generation campaign without Telesales follow-up and closing may yield poor sales results and negative ROI. A well-planned outbound campaign will combine both disciplines, with excellent collaboration between telemarketing and telesales teams. Even better would be an integrated campaign involving traditional marketing and PR, online marketing, telemarketing, and telesales. While potentially expensive, the integrated approach has the best probability of reaching and nurturing the highest number of qualified leads and producing the highest conversion rates.

Here’s a thing or two about B2B telemarketing. Perhaps, five things:

  • It helps you find and filter out people you want to have as customers;
  • It enables you to raise awareness about your brand;
  • It allows you to build your credibility and image among existing and future clients;
  • It directs you to new opportunities that realize growth; and
  • It lets you create relevant dialogues with current partners.
