Getting started
Should I use inbound or outbound B2B marketing?
Inbound helps buyers discover you through useful content, referrals, and search. Outbound starts a conversation with a researched business that may have a relevant need. The two can support each other: an answer page gives context to someone who receives your email. Neither channel removes the need for a clear offer and responsible contact practices.
How to approach it
- Publish answers to questions buyers ask before purchasing.
- Use outreach only where you can explain the relevance.
- Track how each qualified conversation started.
A guide to organizing service requests can attract a visitor and help an email recipient assess your approach. Measure useful conversations from both paths instead of counting every visit as a lead.
