B2B Influencer Sales
Share
The speakers discuss how to adapt the creator/influencer business model to B2B by focusing on selling high-ticket items instead of consumer products. The strategy leverages smaller but more targeted audiences to sell expensive products rather than relying on massive followings to sell low-priced items.
Key Points:
-
B2B vs B2C Creator Strategy:
- Instead of needing massive audiences like Logan Paul or MrBeast
- Focus on selling products that cost $4,000-$400,000
- Need only 1/100th the audience size of major creators
- Example: Hubspot partnering with smaller business-focused creators
-
Revenue Model:
- Consumer creators sell $4 products (like Prime drinks)
- B2B creators sell products 100x more expensive
- Compensates for smaller audience size with higher price points
- Focus on quality leads over quantity of followers
-
Implementation Example:
- Create valuable B2B content
- Build targeted business audience
- Partner with enterprise software companies
- Leverage audience trust to sell high-ticket items
- Use personal brand to validate expensive purchases
-
Advantage:
- Don't need massive following to generate significant revenue
- More sustainable than trying to compete with major consumer creators
- Better alignment with B2B purchase decisions
