B2B Conversations Now » Effective B2B Lead Generation Means Selling the Conversation

http://www.b2bconversationsnow.com/index.php/effective-b2b-lead-generation-means-selling-the-conversation/ Are you looking to generate more sales ready leads on your B2B website? As B2B Marketers, we are all feeling the pressure to do something, anything , to generate more B2B leads . But have you ever stopped to think about what marketing’s role really is? Hint, it’s not selling products or services. Before the explosion of internet based marketing tools, marketing’s job was to generate customer interest and channel those prospects to the sales team. By taking early ownership of the corporate website and populating it with lots of product information, marketing has taken on the burden of selling products , even on a B2B website.
I had the great opportunity to speak to a bunch of my marketing peers at the Marketing Sherpa B2B Demand Generation Summit in Boston today (#sherpaB2B09).

B2B Lead Generation Blog: Social media's impact on web forms and landing pages

http://b2bleadblog.com/2009/07/social-medias-impact-on-web-forms-and-landing-pages.html More marketers are embracing social media and inbound marketing practices for lead generation. That’s a good thing. I’ve written about how you can leverage social media tools like blogs, twitter , LinkedIn , etc. to drive interested visitors to your website or landing pages to register for educational content and other assets. It works. But remember most people coming to your website aren’t coming to your website to buy. They are coming to your site for information.
By Kipp Bodnar The discussion of the value of Facebook for many B2B companies is a valid one. The truth is that it is not the best engagement platform for all B2B companies. However, it is a great fit for some. The problem is that most B2B companies are only using Facebook for a small fraction of what it can really do. http://socialmediab2b.com/2009/09/b2b-company-facebook-lead-generation/
