Book Reviews of Digital Body Language
Book Review: Useful book to improve demand generation
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure if I like the term Digital Body Language, but Steve Woods' book I like very much. It clearly shows how the role of marketing in the complex sale has changed, and gives lots of detailed suggestions on how marketing teams can cope with this change, by using smart demand generation strategies.
This book is required reading for marketers who currently use a marketing automation system such as Eloqua (for a full list of vendors see my blog LeadSloth.com). Or for marketers who plan to use such a system. It provides useful guidelines to improve profiling, lead scoring, and lead nurturing. Also, it shows how to measure marketing ROI more objectively.
Steve Woods is CTO an co-founder of Eloqua, so the book is based on 9 years of practical demand generation experience. However, the book does not mention Eloqua, so you are spared any advertising and you get access to knowledge that is relevant regardless of the marketing software you use.
Digital Body Language is not an easy read, because it's chock-full of information that has never been put in a book before. Steve has added about two dozen case studies, which are brief but provide practical examples that make the book come more alive. All in all, I think this book will soon become a classic in the demand generation space.
Summary of Digital Body Language
In complex business-to-business sales processes, buyers are rewriting the rules. Today's instantaneous access to an online array of information and resources from brochures to portals to Web 2.0 social media - means buyers can quietly self-educate and autonomously direct the pace, direction, and timing of the purchase (not sales) cycle. For companies accustomed to relying on trained sales professionals to act as trusted advisors and guide buyers through a defined, structured process from the very inception of the sales opportunity - these changes are potentially disruptive on a massive scale. In this virtual marketing environment, a savvy sales rep can no longer read the room. Today, B2B marketers must decode a buyer s digital body language to understand the roles, information needs, timing, and buying intentions of its largely faceless and elusive target market. In this thoughtful and groundbreaking book, Steven Woods helps B2B marketing professionals understand the new dynamics of marketing complex products and services. He walks through the new tools available to buyers, how to read digital body language, and how to respond most effectively to maximize the volume and quality of leads. Woods shows that, by embracing the concept of digital body language, marketers can re-engage with sales colleagues on a more strategic level and increase their value to the enterprise.Motivational Books
