Barring few exceptions most B2B firms have traditionally acted as an efficient but quiet Alfred to their Batman- the more celebrated and glamorous clients.<br \/><br \/>However, the times are changing fast. Building a B2B brand isn\u2019t an option any longer; it has become a strategic compulsion for multiple reasons.<br \/>For one, the competitive clutter in B2B space is at an all-time high. Multiple players are vying for the same clients, putting more pressure on margins. In such a scenario, a positive brand reputation can help to justify price premium and avoid a race to the bottom.<br \/><br \/>Second, regardless of their rational behaviour, the decision makers in case of B2B marketing too are eventually human and humans always need talking points to justify their choice. A well-recalled brand can give talking points to stakeholders and smoothen the sell-in process.<br \/><br \/>Also, given the fast-changing landscape, every company needs high quality talent that can help it keep pace with the marketplace. B2B marketing firms are no exception. Brand reputation can act as a strong magnet to attract high quality talent and hence build a long-term moat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f54c10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2f54c10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11685\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3.png 200w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d20a5d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1d20a5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95ee94a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95ee94a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 20-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Know your audience, listen to the experts<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-429a879 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"429a879\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Back in 2013, Richard Ettenson, Eduardo Conrado, and Jonathan Knowles proposed a model they called SAVE to define B2B marketing strategy, that adapted the famous 4P model proposed by Kotler to B2B scenario (original article can be referred to here: <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2013\/01\/rethinking-the-4-ps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/hbr.org\/2013\/01\/rethinking-the-4-ps<\/a>) <br \/><br \/>For the benefit of our readers, here is a quick summary of the framework:<br \/><br \/>SAVE model postulated that traditional 4-P model could be limiting for B2B marketers as it doesn\u2019t take into account the unique nuances of B2B marketing. It instead asked B2B marketers to shift their focus as below:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91af7d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91af7d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Instead of Product, focus on Solutions:<\/strong> Define offerings by the needs they meet, not by their features, functions, or technological superiority.<br \/><br \/><strong>Instead of Place, focus on Access:<\/strong> Develop an integrated cross-channel presence that considers customers\u2019 entire purchase journey instead of emphasizing individual purchase locations and channels.<br \/><br \/><strong>Instead of Price, focus on Value:<\/strong> Articulate the benefits relative to price, rather than stressing how price relates to production costs, profit margins, or competitors\u2019 prices.<br \/><br \/><strong>Instead of Promotion, focus on Education:<\/strong> Provide information relevant to customers\u2019 specific needs at each point in the purchase cycle, rather than relying on advertising, PR, and personal selling that covers the waterfront.<br \/><br \/>The SAVE model can be a valuable resource to guide brand building in B2B space in the contemporary world.<br \/><em><strong>Case in point: Hubspot.<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Hubspot started in 2006 as an inbound marketing automation software. It eventually expanded into CRM software for companies. Recognized widely as one of the industry stalwarts in this business, they started a buzz in the B2B industry around inbound marketing as the best way to build demand for products and services.<\/p><p><strong>Solutions:<\/strong> Today, Hubspot has automation bundles for 5 verticals \u2013 marketing, sales, service, content management systems (CMS) and Operations. Each of these verticals is presented as a solution for respective customer needs \u2013 attracting the right audience, converting more customers, giving customers a personalized, secure experience, etc.<br \/><br \/>Specific product features that enable these solutions are also mentioned, but only when the customer wants to deep dive and know more. For a customer who can get easily overwhelmed by the technicality of SaaS products, articulating solutions in terms that they use regularly in their discussions simplifies decision making drastically.<br \/><br \/>All of these solutions are also supported by excellent customer service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7af7bc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7af7bc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1101\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/84c4636a-d670-765a-e7ce-eff87b514401.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11888\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/84c4636a-d670-765a-e7ce-eff87b514401.png 1101w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/84c4636a-d670-765a-e7ce-eff87b514401-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/84c4636a-d670-765a-e7ce-eff87b514401-1080x729.png 1080w, https:\/\/winnerbrands.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/84c4636a-d670-765a-e7ce-eff87b514401-768x518.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1101px) 100vw, 1101px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd8dd34 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd8dd34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Access:<\/strong> Hubspot has set a benchmark for service in SaaS B2B space, offering customers continuous access to its services and solutions, instead of a discrete channel mindset.
