Social media helps salespeople create a personal and individual connection with each millennial prospect in a way the buyer finds convenient and non-intrusive of their busy timetable.<\/p>\n<p>Social media allows for much more than sales messaging, it helps build a relationship with group sharing and commenting, enabling sales teams to understand what topics and interests their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/webinars\/key-tactics-to-engage-the-decision-maker\/\">buyers engage with<\/a>, and what\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/maryjuetten\/2018\/07\/24\/understanding-pain-points-the-key-to-success\/#4c92c8317435\">pain points<\/a>\u00a0concern them.<\/p>\n<p>A social selling strategy has proven success for many B2B sales teams, as they adapt to the preferences of the ever-growing millennial audience. Those conducting social selling tactics are not only 40% more likely to see success in their ventures, but also have a sales pipeline 18% bigger, moving 28% faster than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_section et_pb_section_2 et_section_regular\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_2\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"online-reliance\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h3>Online reliance for millennial B2B buyers<\/h3>\n<p>Having a strong online presence is vital to your millennial B2B buyer. Did you know 94% of buyer journeys start online? We look to the internet far more than we realize, for almost everything. The average person conducts seven different Google searches per day!<\/p>\n<p>This number has grown in recent years, as the internet becomes ever more accessible across a multitude of devices and those at the forefront of this technology are \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 millennials. So what does this mean for B2B sales teams? It points to two key things\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Firstly it means your leads and prospects will be far better educated. They\u2019ll have looked your business up online and read plenty of reviews, researched your competitors and come prepared with questions and intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect to launch into a pre-rehearsed sales script; your millennial B2B buyers know what they want from the call, so be ready to answer their questions and offer them details surrounding pricing and contract conditions.<\/p>\n<p>And secondly, this changes how millennials identify the value your product can offer their business. In the past, this was a key element of the sales pitch, helping prospects understand how your product can offer the prospect a return.<\/p>\n<p>For a millennial audience, many prefer to gain this information online between your communications, so be sure to send them plenty of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2017\/08\/17\/five-ways-to-engage-millennials-through-your-content-marketing\/#6020dbe11cf1\">engaging content<\/a>\u00a0and assets they can view or point them in the direction of your blog. This way, you can turn their online reliance into an advantage, reigning in some control over what they read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_section et_pb_section_3 et_section_regular\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_3\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"email-email-email\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h3>Email, email, email<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing how much stock a millennial B2B buyer audience puts into their internet research, it may come as little surprise to know that the phone call is not their favored method of contact\u2026 86% of business professionals\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/wesgay\/2017\/08\/29\/millennials-email-adobe\/#4603ab3352f8\">prefer email communications<\/a>\u00a0above all others and this number is undoubtedly influenced by the millennial audience.<\/p>\n<p>The surge of technology helping connect us through texting, messaging and social platforms, for a modern audience, there is little need for many to speak on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst many decision makers are happy to take sales calls when organized, for outreach or short, \u201ccheck-in\u201d communications, avoiding the phone where possible may be the best move.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean your sales team are restricted to just email communications, there\u2019s still plenty of room for them to get creative. Think about what the email offers- it can be accessed remotely, at any time, anywhere and doesn\u2019t involve any direct human interaction.<\/p>\n<p>What other forms of communication share similar characteristics, attracting to your millennial audience? It\u2019s estimated that in 2022, 4.26 billion active email addresses were in use; a reluctance to embrace a sales email approach could lead to a large loss of new business opportunity, as you fail to meet millennial B2B buyers\u2019 preferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_section et_pb_section_4 et_section_regular\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_4\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"online-purchases\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h3>Online purchases<\/h3>\n<p>This increase in online activity has led to another key shift in how millennials look to make purchases. Recent years have seen an enormous increase in e-commerce, as we make consumer purchases comfortably through online retailers, many millennial B2B buyers expect a similar process when making business purchases.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of e-commerce predicts that 1 million B2B sales jobs will be lost over the next few years, unless sales processes adapt and change to meet modern buyer needs.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not saying you need to only sell online; for some products and solutions, this just isn\u2019t possible. But is there something you offer that could have a process similar to an online \u201ccheckout\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>If you offer a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/product-features\/\">product demonstration<\/a>\u00a0for example, can this be booked via your website, similar to an online transaction? This feeds the millennial preference to purchase online and doesn\u2019t hinder your sales approach or those working for your sales team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_section et_pb_section_5 et_section_regular\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_5\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"new-priorities\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h3>New priorities for millennial B2B buyers<\/h3>\n<p>The older generation have always been very focused on business benefit and gain, asking what more you can do for their business. However, millennial B2B buyers bring a shift in this mind-set.<\/p>\n<p>They have other priorities and are interested in elements of your business that have until now seemed less impactful on sales. A whopping 80% of millennials in a recent survey said that a company\u2019s environmental, social and philanthropic efforts impact purchasing decisions when considering them as vendors.<\/p>\n<p>This seems like a possible red flag to your sales teams, but it actually offers them a secret weapon. It offers your team more to discuss with their sales prospects, using a less traditional approach to make a memorable impression on a younger, modern audience.<\/p>\n<p>To properly target a modern buyer, you need a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/b2b-sales-software-for-sales-leaders\/\">modern sales software<\/a>\u00a0to match.
