Not if you transform Field Marketing into ABM specialists.
Large B2B companies across the globe are now realizing they’re dealing with an unfortunate question: what to do with field marketers? Gone are the days of front-line field marketing teams organizing posh breakfasts in luxury hotels and hosting summits for big industry leaders. The lead pool created by garnering interest from these events and in-person meetings to close big deals, the otherwise charming and multifaceted field marketer’s role is facing grave duress.
The question arises: Are traditional field marketers a dying breed? Do companies need to lay-off their expansive teams of front-line marketers because the ‘field’ no longer exists? The short answer is NO!
Part event marketer, part sales enabler and sometimes, account-based sales representative, the field marketer is a versatile specialist. The time is ripe for field marketers to redefine their value to organizations and repurpose their expertise to operationalize Account-Based Marketing and pivot strategies to digital mediums.
Digital Marketing is the new posh
You need to repurpose your field marketing teams into conducting immersive, engaging, and interactive virtual experiences to create leads and strengthen existing relationships. To that effect, you need to equip your teams with smart tools and technology that can help them connect intelligently with their prospects and understand their business needs – now that charming prospects with plush wine-and-dine events are no longer possible.
Steering to Account-Based marketing
Now is the time for field marketers to shift gears from in-person lead generation efforts to focusing on more targeted ABM campaigns by tapping into their versatile expertise. Post-COVID, fostering account-management with a highly personalized approach to marketing may become a critical aspect of the field marketers’ role.
Redeploying efforts to create thought-leadership content
As virtual event planning is the new normal and geography is moot, how does field marketing create compelling virtual experiences for their target audiences? This is the time for field marketers to think creatively about global campaign themes and driving thought-leadership. This will create an increased demand for fresh and engaging content, allowing companies to leverage field marketers’ untapped pool of perspective and ideas.
