Lynda sings when she goes jogging in the forest for fear of meeting a bear&#8230; Lynda, singing? What would scare off a 500 kg grizzly Kodiak anyway?<\/p>\n<p><strong>B2B marketing phobia :<\/strong>&nbsp;A client that has developed a product and has put all their eggs in one basket, R&amp;D. Once at the start-up stage, two things occur frequently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customers for this product are ghosts; they don\u2019t know their target and have made some trials, and sometimes, fatal errors<\/li>\n<li>Not having planned a realistic budget for its product launch. We now know that the introduction phase of a product is the most expensive in the lifecycle of a product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This gives goose bumps to several people at Exo!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nathalie<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Personal phobia:&nbsp;<\/strong>Fear of flying&#8230; and Nathalie has had to fly several times in her life. She can always count on her friend &#8220;Gravol&#8221; to soothe her anxiety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B2B marketing phobia :<\/strong>&nbsp;A customer who has developed a new Web site, however, his site is the devil himself; attractive from the outside, but has an ugly interior. It is beautiful visually, but has several shortcomings. The message is not clear, so the site has no &#8220;call-to-action&#8217; and has no specific purpose (what do you want people to do on the Web site? Your website must meet your target for lead generation!).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Anne<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Personal phobia:&nbsp;<\/strong>Anne is very afraid of mice. The fact that there are 2 rodents for every human in this city terrifies her!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;B2B marketing phobia<\/strong>: Everyone has competition, but what do you do when the competition is a serial killer, who kills all its other competitors and now has you in its sight? You often have to do some strategic repositioning! With what marketing weapons you ask? Chainsaw, a 12-gauge or machete?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Claudine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Personal phobia:&nbsp;<\/strong>Claudine is terribly afraid of heights! The thought makes her blood freeze in her veins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;B2B marketing phobia<\/strong>: &nbsp;A client that has an excellent web site, but who only uses Google Analytics to count the number of visits on their site. That&#8217;s fine, we do want traffic on a web site (contrary to traffic on Pie \u2013 IX Street), however, it only means that people come to see the site and not perform the desired actions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vincent<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Personal phobia:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spiders&#8230; but not just any, spiders with hair, larger than the spiders normally found in Qu\u00e9bec, and the ones that bite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B2B marketing phobia:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ending up with a Sales Funnel completely empty; No leads = no prospects = no future sales! How many will sell in the next 6 months? This is nothing compared to the abyss that may lie ahead, or the bankruptcy of the company.
