What is Value Based Marketing?

Value-based marketing highlights the positive impact of your products and services. It builds lasting connections by addressing customer needs and showcasing solutions. This strategy emphasizes measurable results over empty promises.

Value-based marketing reveals why customers truly buy. Customers seek transformation, ease, and growth. It differs from traditional marketing by focusing on achieving customer objectives.

Why Value Based Marketing Matters for SAP Customers

SAP customers are discerning and expect more than a sales pitch. Value-based marketing delivers depth and authenticity. For B2B value marketing, this translates to demonstrating ROI with concrete data and shared wins.

Testimonials and quantifiable impacts on SAP systems are essential. Showcase how you make a concrete difference for businesses using existing customer data.

The Power of Value-Based Marketing

Value-based marketing elevates more than just revenue. It builds long-term business relationships and brand trust. By showcasing the advantages of your offerings, customers recognize your investment in their success.

Values-Based Marketing

Shared values and addressing customer pain points create loyal customers. This helps build relationships based on mutual benefit and trust. This goes beyond transactions and fosters meaningful partnerships.

How to Implement Value-Based Marketing with SAP

Adopting a value-driven approach requires thoughtful analysis of each client. This involves a dedicated approach. The following outlines implementing value-based marketing with SAP, focusing on delivering consistent value and building lasting relationships with your customers.

Know Your SAP Customer Inside and Out

Before launching campaigns, understand your target audience. Thoroughly research your SAP clients’ needs to create effective value-based content. Listening to decision-makers who influence purchasing decisions is crucial. Deeply understanding their personal and business goals enables tailored solutions. Doing so strengthens your role as a trusted advisor.

Focus on the Needs (and Pain Points) of Each Client

Identify and empathize with each client’s pain points. Understand why each pain point matters and how it impacts their business. Showing genuine empathy can build trust and lead to stronger connections.

Understanding their challenges and offering relevant support strengthens customer relationships. Building rapport with key individuals positions you as a long-term partner.

Providing tailored guidance for their business needs, beyond SAP-specific solutions, fosters lasting relationships. Become their go-to resource for valuable insights, reinforcing your value and building customer loyalty. Consistently delivering exceptional value cements your position as a trusted advisor. It encourages repeat business and positive referrals.

Unique Selling Proposition

Your Unique Selling Proposition, or USP, has to meet a specific need of your client, be they a SAP customer or any other type of customer. Your USP is different than your Unique Value Proposition.

Unique Value Proposition

This is about showing customers the real worth of what you offer. It’s not just about features. It’s about how those features make their lives better and improve their financials. It's about the value.

 

Think about your favorite coffee shop. They probably aren't the cheapest. But you still go there, right? Maybe it’s the friendly baristas. Maybe it’s the comfy chairs. Maybe they make your financial reports look good. Whatever it is, that’s their unique value. They give you something special you can’t find anywhere else. It's about the experience.

 

Now, think about SAP BW. It's a powerful tool. But lots of other software can crunch numbers. Your unique value is what you bring to the table. It's how you use SAP BW to give customers something they can't get anywhere else. This is what will attract customers and give them a good feeling. Because it’s not about the software. It's about the solution. It's about fixing a problem.

 

Maybe you are an expert in a specific industry. You understand its quirks. You know the challenges. You can use SAP BW to give clients in that industry the financial insights they need. This specialized knowledge is valuable. This helps set you apart.

Or maybe you have a knack for making complex data easy to understand. You're a data storyteller. You can create dashboards that clearly show the financial story. This makes it easy for clients to see where they stand. They can make better decisions. This is valuable, too. This can change their whole financial future.

 

Your unique value could also be your amazing customer service. You go the extra mile to help clients. You answer their questions. You make sure they get the most out of SAP BW (actually, that's what we do:). You give them the confidence to manage their financials.

 

Figuring out your unique value takes work. Think about what you do best. Think about what your clients need most. Where do those two things meet? That's where the magic happens. That’s your unique value. This helps your customers and also makes you stand out. It's what makes you, you.

 

Show, Don't Just Tell: Case Studies

Use customer case studies as part of a value based marketing strategy to demonstrate the real impact of your product. Showcase successes with data and compelling narratives. Illustrate the client's problem and how your solution provided positive results.

 

Make these stories relatable so potential customers envision their own success. Back up claims with clear evidence and quantifiable achievements.

Consistently Provide Real Value to Clients and Keep That Value Flowing Even After Deals Close

Delivering exceptional service is an ongoing commitment. Provide free, helpful content even after the sale. Offer solutions beyond your products and empower clients with valuable resources. Stay connected and adapt your services to their changing needs, including new technology implementations and expanding services that support different company branches. An effective account based marketing strategy encompasses multiple channels to maintain ongoing communication.
