Chris was invited onto the B2B Demand Acceleration hosted by Catarina Hoch of Operatix to discuss the difference between demand capture and demand creation in B2B marketing. He emphasizes the need for a balanced strategy that includes both capturing active intent and creating demand for potential customers who are not yet in the market. Chris also challenges the traditional model of an assembly line lead generation system and advocates for an integrated revenue team approach that aligns with the customer buying process. He shares insights on the future of SDRs and suggests that companies should focus on developing business through influencer marketing and partnerships rather than relying solely on cold calling.
Key Takeaways:
Demand capture focuses on accounts that are in-market to buy and demonstrate clear intent, while demand creation aims to educate and engage potential customers who are not yet in the market.
Companies should adopt a balanced strategy that includes both demand capture and demand creation to maximize sales productivity and reduce wasted marketing expenses.
The traditional model of an assembly line lead generation system is outdated and companies should shift towards an integrated revenue team approach that aligns with the customer buying process.
The future of SDRs lies in their ability to capture active intent, but companies should consider hiring individuals with different skill sets and focus on developing business through influencer marketing and partnerships.
Analyst firms can provide valuable insights, but companies should be cautious of their recommendations and consider the credibility and motivations behind their advice.
