The True Cost of Marketing to the Wrong Person
In B2B marketing, success hinges on connecting with the right buyers at the right time. Yet many organizations waste valuable resources targeting individuals who lack decision-making power, belong to irrelevant markets, or fall outside the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). The hidden costs are immense—lost revenue, wasted spend, damaged trust, and stalled growth.
The Core Problem: Lack of Precision
Clicks and opens can create a false sense of progress, but without precision, campaigns miss their mark. Precision requires clarity:
Who is the contact?
Do they need what we’re offering?
Are they part of the decision-making process?
When answers are unclear, strategy and execution falter, eroding trust and outcomes.
The Costs of Targeting the Wrong Person
Lost Conversions & Time – Content and outreach fail to drive pipeline.
Wasted Spend – Budgets drain on irrelevant impressions and leads.
Damaged Trust – Misaligned outreach weakens brand credibility.
Missed Opportunities – Real prospects are overlooked.
No amount of creativity or budget compensates for poor targeting.
