Marketing isn’t working…..

1. Adopt a tiered approach
   It’s important to adopt a tiered approach to help define your total addressable market based upon current or future value to your business and levels of engagement. The idea is to dedicate the majority of your marketing and sales resources to the audiences and contacts who are most likely to engage.
2. Create a framework to optimise and scale
   With a structured approach, you’ll learn where to optimise your efforts, where to cut ineffective activity and how to more quickly identify those most likely to buy. It’s a model you can scale and expand across all of your campaigns.
3. Identify your buyers
   Here’s where you research and map the actions, influence and behaviours of the entire decision making unit for every customer. This way, you’ll be able to build a deeper understanding of your Decision Making Units (DMU) and the individuals within them, and begin to create personas. From here you can build a list of business topics and keywords associated with the various DMU roles and different buying stages, and target the right people when those topics are trending.
4. Identify your active market 
   BBM allows you to target those precise individuals – that tiny 2-5% of your audience who are showing current, active buying signals. It works using a Context-Timing-Relevance approach. Context helps you ensure the accuracy of the signals you pick up – distinguishing positive from negative, determining influence, revealing intent, and more. Timing is about gathering insights in real time and reacting to buying signals as soon as you spot them. Together, Context and Timing helps you prioritise targets, so you can tailor your approach and messaging, giving it Relevance.
5. Build your keyword strategy
   A keyword strategy is crucial when it comes to identifying intent. Build your keywords according to the relevant behaviour topics for each stage of the buying cycle as follows.

• Awareness – keywords should reflect customer needs and pain points
• Consideration – include keywords relevant to solving their challenges
• Decision – include the names of your products and your competitors
