Written by Amy Bartulis Winchell | Jul 24, 2023 11:12:36 PM

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, organizations must leverage every available opportunity to stay ahead of the competition, generate demand, and turn prospects into customers. One proven and powerful strategy is content syndication.

The Benefits of B2B Content Syndication  

For many teams, targeted lead generation is the driving force behind this strategy, but there are many other benefits to be gained by running content syndication programs. For example:  

Expanding reach and visibility: Content syndication enables you to amplify your messaging across multiple platforms, websites, and industry-specific publications. By tapping into existing third-party audiences, you not only surface your content to new and relevant prospects but increase brand awareness while you’re at it.  

Establishing thought leadership: Sharing high-quality, informative content through syndication allows you to position your organization as a thought leader in your space. By providing valuable insights and expertise, you also earn trust and credibility amongst your target audience.  

Advancing account-based opportunities: With the help of content syndication, you can engage multiple prospects within a target account. By doing so, you create more opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations with key members of an account’s buying committee. 

To attain these benefits, an effective B2B content syndication program requires planning and collaboration from the get-go. Equally important is a well-executed follow-through. This is what turns engaged leads into business growth.

4 Key Tactics for a Well-Executed Follow-Through
  1. Segment leads for personalization
    Upon receiving content syndication leads,
    it’s important to segment them based on notable distinctions such as level of engagement, subject interests, job titles, or buying intent. Doing so enables you to tailor your follow-up approach and messaging so that it is relevant and personalized to the prospect’s needs.
    • For example, the pain points and motivations of those in leadership positions will differ from those who report to them. Your messaging in follow-up emails and call scripts should reflect that.
  2. Reach out in a timely manner
    Time is of the essence when it comes to following up on leads. If a lead is deemed Sales-ready, they should be contacted as soon as possible, be it a call, email, or LinkedIn request.
  3. Continuously nurture your leads
    For leads that are not yet ready for hand-off to Sales, engaging with them through a marketing channel might be the way to go. This could be in the form of an email nurture, event invite, or retargeting campaign. By continuously offering valuable, personalized content, you can help guide prospects through the buyer’s journey.
  4. Analyze the results
    Depending on the length of your sales cycle, it can take months to determine the impact of your content syndication program, especially if your goals are tied to pipeline. In the meantime, continue to track metrics and consider organizing a program post-mortem with relevant team members. Make note of what worked and what didn’t and these takeaways, as well as your end results, will help inform future programs! 

By running an effective B2B content syndication program, organizations can maximize their reach, engage prospects at various touchpoints, and ultimately generate valuable sales leads.
