Key Insight: When your end goal is to score buying groups comprehensively, rather than just individuals, it has a significant impact on your persona and title strategy. Here’s how:
Persona Development:
Holistic Profiles: Your personas should reflect not just individual roles (like decision-makers or users) but also how these individuals interact within buying groups. This means understanding the collective influence of different roles within the group and how they contribute to the decision-making process.
Behavioral Insights: Personas should incorporate behavioral data that reflects both individual actions and account-level signals. This could include how often an individual engages with your content, but also how engaged their broader organization is with your brand.
Title Targeting:
Role Integration: Instead of targeting titles in isolation, focus on the combination of titles that make up a typical buying group in your target accounts. This ensures you're not just reaching one key player but the entire decision-making unit.
Strategic Targeting: Identify and prioritize titles that not only align with your solution but also have the most influence within buying groups. For example, if an account is showing strong intent, it may be strategic to focus on champions and ratifiers within that group, ensuring they’re nurtured alongside decision-makers.
Content Personalization:
Group Relevance: Tailor your messaging and content not just for individual personas, but for how those personas fit into the buying group's decision-making process. Content should address both individual pain points and group dynamics.
Collaborative Content: Consider creating content that speaks to the collaboration between roles within the buying group, helping to align them around the value of your solution.
