    How To Get Invited For a Proposal As A Software Vendor?

    According to Gartner, buyers spend just 17% of the time talking to vendors during the buying process of a new solution. That means you have to meet them during the other 83% of their journey, which is their self-education process. In today's episode, we discuss how B2B technology companies can effectively get invited to the purchasing process. And it's all about navigating the buyer's journey. And meet them where they are since they start to self-educate on problems and solutions. We'll cover the importance of understanding how buying decisions are made, why traditional sales outreach may be ineffective, and the critical role of the customer's self-education before and during the buying process. We'll introduce the concept of the market infrastructure or ecosystem pyramid to illustrate how to influence the various layers of decision-makers and improve brand awareness. We'll provide actionable steps to researching market perceptions (positions), establishing relationships, and leveraging credible third-party endorsements to build a reliable ecosystem. 00:30 Understanding the Buyer's Journey 01:18 Challenges in Sales Outreach 01:56 The Role of Research in the Buying Process 04:08 Statistics on Buyer Behaviors for B2B Software 06:56 The Infrastructure/Ecosystem Pyramid Concept 08:33 Developing Market Ecosystem Strategies 18:19 The Importance of Market Perception 21:54 Actionable Steps for Implementing Strategies 25:42 Conclusion and Resources Reach out to Josh on Linkedin Hire us to work together

    Today, we'll introduce the concept of risk perception in technology buyers and how it plays a critical role in your growth. We'll showcase 6 of the 18 elements we've observed, which are the ones a company must build around its core product to sell more to the risk-averse mainstream customers. This episode is one of three in which we'll introduce the 18 elements to lower the risk perception of your value proposition and sell more.

The hosts introduce a framework based on the behavioral science of the diffusion of innovations, aiming to teach listeners how to achieve go-to solution status in their markets by understanding and leveraging customers' risk profiles.
