As a B2B marketer, it's easy to get caught up in promoting the features of your product or service. And, who can blame you? Your company has likely spent months, even years, perfecting the design, the engineering, and the technology behind it! But while these features are certainly impressive, they may not be the key selling points that resonate with your site visitors.
In today's world of marketing, it's essential to focus on the benefits that your product or service provides, rather than just the features. This shift in perspective can make all the difference in your marketing efforts and ultimately drive more sales.
In this blog post, we'll explore why B2B brands should consider listing the benefits of their products rather than just features and provide some examples from real brands that employ this strategy effectively.
So, whether you're part of a startup or an established enterprise, let's dive into why benefits should be at the forefront of your website strategy.
Paylocity: Benefit-focused Headline

Customer success software brand, Zendesk, takes a unique approach to listing the benefits of its product offering.
