Take the first step

B2B Website Strategy for Lead Generation is an 8-week on-demand virtual course for B2B marketers in industrial companies.

This course is full of actionable, practical guidance that will help you plan and prioritize your efforts to attract higher quality website leads.

You’ll be taught how to plan a website that generates quality leads, through either redesign or agile improvements. You’ll receive templates for creating personas and features that work for converting MQLs and SQLs. The course includes ways to generate consensus, prevent scope creep, jump-start content development, and crafting a high-converting user experience and content strategy.

Unlike generalized marketing advice that’s geared toward B2C one-size-fits-all approaches, this course is focused on the unique needs of B2B industrial marketers in small teams. You’ll learn how to prioritize your own efforts, doing more with less while attracting the right people and providing them with the right experience.

The main focus will be on improving your website, either through complete redesign or existing site improvements that increase lead quality and quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions about the B2B Website Strategy for Lead Generation Virtual Training Course

What is the time commitment for this course?

The course runs for eight weeks, and each week will consist of up to an hour of course material and homework. Assume 1-2 hours per week.

I’m in B2B SAAS software, is this course right for me?

SAAS products follow different patterns than B2B complex products and services, so this course isn’t the best fit for SAAS marketers.

I market a complex product or service to consumers, is this course right for me?

This course isn’t the best fit for B2C marketers because it focuses on technical B2B products and services instead of general B2C product and service promotion.

Will this course cover e-commerce?

No, B2B e-commerce is outside the scope of this course. This course is centered around marketing websites intended to generate leads that are closed by sales teams in a complex or consultative sale.

What technology do I need for the course?

You’ll need the free version of Zoom to attend weekly calls, and access to either Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

Will this course teach me how to design or code a website, or the technical aspects of implementing features?

No, this course is geared toward planning and strategy, including features, content, and UX. It assumes that you either A) will be working with an in-house or freelance team to implement the plan, B) will be hiring an agency to implement the work, or C) already have the tools and ability to edit or build a website, but need strategic guidance.

Will this course teach me how to measure traffic, bounce rates, time online, and how to understand my web’s true impact on my business?

Yes. While we keep analytics to the most important metrics and KPIs, we provide benchmarks and instruction on measuring and understanding your current performance, setting goals, and measuring improvement.

Is this course really just content marketing, or a sales pitch?

No, we fully expect most students to implement their plan with their existing team. We built this course as a vehicle to bring our expertise to a larger group of people than we can help with agency services. Our team is available to consider right-fit projects on a case by case basis but there is no pressure and no sales pitch.

How much is inaction and lack of a strategic plan costing you in lost leads?

Are you willing to leave the planning of your biggest marketing asset to an agency? Invest in your future with this virtual course.
