B2B services in a commoditised world
In a commoditised world it’s easy to see business services as items that are simply bought and sold. When we consider outsourced B2B services, there is the danger of grouping everything together. When making decisions about whom to source these services from, you need to look at in terms of the value that each one provides to your business.
Commoditised marketing at the price you want to pay…
When selecting providers of marketing services, it is vital that the relative value of different service providers is considered. Many marketing agencies see what they do as commoditised. They sell on price, not quality and focus their efforts on persuading, convincing and offering great deals. Unfortunately, this means many customer businesses get what they want in terms of price, but not what they need in terms of marketing!
If you want to be sold to, there are plenty of agencies that oblige. If you need to be talked into doing marketing, again many have the sales people to do that. The best value B2B services are obtained through successful long-term relationships where both parties flourish and succeed. They are not casual encounters agreed during an eyeball over a quick drink.
