1. Automation
Automation has been trending over the last few years, and continues to be one of the biggest trends in B2B marketing and sales. Essentially, automation is the process of automatically moving data and/or performing tasks. Once you have set up automation, it can save hours of painstakingly transferring data. It will also save you money and ensure that your data is consistent across all platforms. You’re probably already using automation in your CRM to send emails, but do you know how many other actions that you can automate?
2. Quora
Quora is the Yahoo Answers of 2022. On Quora, you have the ability to ask and answer questions that are relevant to your company and industry. You can get your company in front of thousands of prospects who are looking for a solution to their problems. Quora also offers very affordable paid advertising options.
3. Website Personalization
Website personalization is common in B2C markets, but is growing in popularity with B2B companies. This technology gives you the ability to personalize your website based on the visitor’s characteristics. So, you can show a specific version of your website to different visitors with the goal of increasing website conversion rates.
4. More Content
You’re probably familiar with the idea of content marketing. Jobs like “Content Manager” are popping up everywhere to help companies keep up with the trend. The most successful companies tend to use multiple forms of content, which can include blog articles, videos, a resource center, and more. We have gotten to the point where customers and social media followers expect high-quality content.
5. Optimize Across the Web
In 2022, customers are doing more research than ever before. B2B companies need to be especially conscious of this tip, because one wrong move can result in the loss of a sale. Even if your website is optimized for search engines, it doesn’t mean that you’re done optimizing. Go to the depths of the internet and optimize everywhere your company is listed.
6. Social Selling
The term “social selling” has been a buzz word for the past few years, but it works. Like the term implies, social selling refers to using social media to sell. Your sales team has the ability to use their social media accounts to connect and engage with prospects. This will promote trust and help you build a good relationship with your prospects.

7. Gated & Interactive Content
Gated content and interactive content are highly valuable pieces of content that the viewer needs to submit their contact information in order to gain access to it. Then, you can use their contact information to reach out via automation or your sales team. Sample data sets, industry reports, eBooks, and other exclusive resources are commonly used for gated and interactive content.
8. Update Old Blogs
Content expires. We don’t want to read a blog post that was written in 2017 for sales tips to help us today. Review your older content and content that is losing ranking and update it. Update it 20-80% and change the publish date to a recent date.
Bonus Tip: Visitor Queue

We provide a company overview, visit information like how they were acquired, pages viewed, and how long they spent on each page.
