The human element: Why subject matter experts are the key to B2B demand generation
B2B marketers are drowning their prospects in generic content: white papers that could apply to any industry, case studies written by people who’ve never spoken to a customer, and blog posts that recycle the same tired talking points.
Your subject matter experts (SMEs), who actually solve customer problems, could bring about the needed change. And they’re already in-house.
Product engineers, consultants, and project managers understand the technical nuances, industry constraints, and real-world applications that your prospects actually care about.
Yet instead of leveraging this knowledge, most companies seem to be oblivious to the benefits of SME content for demand generation.
This blog focuses on why expert-driven content matters in B2B demand generation, and how you can start using it to build trust faster, shorten sales cycles, and drive higher-quality leads.
