Traditional sales and marketing tactics, such as advertisements and trade shows, aren't as effective as they used to be. Today, successful engineering firms are using content to reach B2B technical audiences.
Engineers and scientists are searching for information throughout the entire buying cycle, from the initial research “awareness” stage at the top of the funnel, to the “opportunity” stage at the bottom, where they make a purchasing decision.

Your buyer continues to engage with your brand through content on your website. Through email automation, you can lead your buyer further down the buyer's journey until he's ready to talk with your sales team.

Content marketing is the key to attracting and closing new clients. Tailored specifically for technical B2B business and marketing leaders, Smart Marketing for Engineers: Lead Generation for B2B Technical Audiences provides clear steps to connect your prospects with your company’s solutions.
