B2B Influencer Sales

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
