Build Your Marketing Around How Buyers Actually Decide, Not Just How They Search.

Being found is important, but marketing that gets you on the shortlist is what really counts. That part is worth more of your attention.

What Sets Us Apart?

Our Purpose

Emerson Crown is a B2B marketing consulting firm

Our focus is helping companies build their marketing around how today's buyers actually research and evaluate vendors, so you can get shortlisted more often.

How We Think

Optimizing For Buyer Confidence, Not Visibility, Gets You Shortlisted

Three areas to consider:

Buyers consider vendors to shortlist during their research phase

Buyers complete most of their vendor selection research independently. By the time they contact a vendor, their shortlist is largely set. A lot of B2B marketing is not built around that reality.

Earning Buyer Confidence determines who gets shortlisted, not visibility

Getting found is only the first step. What buyers do after they find you is what determines whether you make their shortlist. That is the part of the buyer journey many companies don’t formally address.

Demonstrating your credibility and proof is what earns Buyer confidence

What moves a skeptical buyer to shortlist a vendor is evidence that exists outside your own claims. Earning that proof along the buyer journey, is what separates companies that get shortlisted from those that do not.

A Culture Of Buyer Confidence - A Corporate Manifesto

We wrote a Manifesto about what happens when a company makes buyer confidence a company-wide mandate and not just a marketing outcome. What happens when leadership decides that how the entire organization treats prospects is the standard every department works toward.

For the executives who are ready to think about buyer confidence as a competitive advantage at an organizational level, it is worth reading.

We don’t expect everyone to agree with this view. But we’ve seen enough to believe it is worth sharing. Some executives will ignore it. Others may find it changes how they think about growth entirely. If you’re curious, we invite you to read further.
