WHO is Dr. Ute
Hillmer? an expert in positioning and promoting technology
products, with a carving for innovative products that
are not self-explaining.
With such products, human behavior is often outside the
boundaries of rationality -despite its economic context.
Buying behavior is here typically a result of social, cognitive
and emotional factors, along with the economic ones.

Marketing Today:
the New Buying
Decision Process
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
The Aim of Marketing
Marketing aims to influence the buyer and
buying center at the moment and place
when they are most open to influences
towards a brand choice and buying
decision.

The Core Changes
1. Consumers and buyers connect with
brands in fundamentally new ways – often
beyond manufacturers or dealers' control
2. They evaluate a shifting array of options
during the evaluation process and remain
engaged with the brand after purchase
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
2014 B2B Buyer Behavior Survey
• Web search is the top source of information
• B2B buyers strategically browse social media
• The number of sources used to research and
evaluate purchase has increased
• There is an increased awareness of purchase
options
• The evaluation process is longer and more
satisfying

How to Segment a
Market?
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
What is Market Segmentation?
Market segmentation divides a broad target market into subsets of consumers, businesses, or countries who have, or are perceived to have, common needs, interests, and priorities.
Segmentation is used to identify and further define the target customers.
How have Market Segments changed over the last 50 years?
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Common Ways to Segment a MarketGeographic Segmentationaccording to geographic criteria—nations, states, regions, countries, cities, neighborhoods, or postal codes.
Demographic Segmentationbased on variables such as age, gender, occupation and education level or according to perceived benefits which a product/service may
provide.
Speciality: ‘firmographic’ or ‘feature based’ segmentation, commonly used in B2B: segmentation based on features such as company size
(revenue or number of employees), industry sector, location (country and/or region).
Behavioral Segmentationdivides consumers into groups according to their knowledge of, attitude towards, usage rate, response, loyalty status, and readiness stage to a
product. Behavioral segmentation divides buyers into segments based on their knowledge, attitudes, uses, or responses concerning a product.
A good starting point for market segmentation!
Psychographic Segmentation (Lifestyle)measured by studying activities, interests, and opinions (AIOs) of customers. It considers how people spend their time and which external
influences they are most responsive to /influenced by. Psychographic identifies the personal activities and targeted lifestyle the target subject
endures, or the image they are attempting to project. Mass Media has a predominant influence and effect on Psychographic segmentation.
Segmentation can take place according to benefits sought by the consumer/customer.
Cultural Segmentationused to classify markets according to cultural origin.

How to Segment Your Target Market?
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Select your Segmentation CriteriaMeasurability
• “otherwise the scheme will not be operational”
• next to impossible in some markets, hard in most markets => most companies to
use more qualitative and intuitive methods
Substantiality
• “the variable should be relevant to a substantial group of customers”
• Challenge: find the right size / balance: large group segment: risk of diluting
effectiveness
• Too small: you lose the benefits of economies of scale.
• Sometime one large customer
Operational relevance
• Segmentation should enable to offer the suitable product/service to the chosen
segment, e.g. faster delivery service, special 24-hour technical support, etc.

Why do certain innovations diffuse much
faster than others?
Example:
Take the Market of Disruptive Innovations
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
New Innovations usually …
change the way how we do things...
and we go along happily and fast
or not so fast ...
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Successful (B2B) marketing is…
• about segmenting customer experiences to fit the
product life cycle and the typical customer profile
• about developing and maintaining trust – matching
the different customer segments need
• about initiating a customer centric dialog that takes
the different customer profiles into consideration
Behavioral economics!
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Behavioural Economics
Behavioral economics … study the effects of social, cognitive and emotional factors on the economic decisions of individuals and institutions and the consequences for market prices, returns and the resource allocation. The fields are primarily concerned with the bounds of rationality of economic agents. Behavioral models typically integrate insights from psychology with neo-classical economic theory. In so doing they cover a range of concepts, methods, and fields.[1]
Behavioral analysts are not only concerned with the effects of market decisions but also with public choice, which describes another source of economic decisions with related biases towards promoting self-interest.

Inventors: Techies Technology is their life
Technology - Crazy– Spend hours to get the product to work
– Do everything to help the product
– Technology should be for free
Forgiving souls– Don’t mind lousy documentation and weird procedures to achieve
functionality
– Want technology first – no need for a sales channel
• Their role: they move technology forward but do not generate much diffusion + generate no income
Moore; Crossing the Chasm 1999.
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Visionaries Technology enthusiastic businessmen, driven by a dream
• Businessman first
- driven to be the first
- new technologies are used to serve their own strategic benefit
- don’t want incremental but fundamental improvements
- make business world aware of new technologies
- not very price-sensitive, have project budget
- live in the future
- communicate with techies and other visionaries
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Visionaries (2)
• Take a risk
- love publicity
- risky projects
- start projects from ground up, don‘t want standards, want to
develop them
- buy by intuition (but may claim otherwise)
- highly motivated, driven by a dream
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Visionaries (3)
• Excellent communicators
- charismatic; they fight for their project
- like to serve as a reference
- network with techies and pragmatists
- too many references de-motivate visionaries
- look for new ideas in communication with intelligent people
• Their role: they fund the product development + give the innovation a “real” application
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
PragmatistsLook for measurable, incremental improvement
Driven by business results
- improved productivity
• Avoid risk
- risk is a negative term
- want to work with market leader/ established firms
- look for product quality, support, consulting, good interfaces, reliability
- want standards, “save buys”
- need references
- live in the present
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Pragmatists (2)
Loyal customers
• are interested in company they buy from
• revenue and profit must grow steadily “stability”
• communicate within company and industry
• the first mass market
Their role: They hold the key to the mass market
BUT: you need to be established in order for them to buy from you but you don‘t get established until they buy from you ! ?
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Pragmatists (3)
Consequences out of this profile
• One really needs to be familiar with the processes and
issues that worry the pragmatists
Offer a clear relative advantage to them
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Conservatives“I don’t have to like the product, even if I use it”
- They do what pragmatics do, but later
- Invest in technology to keep up with competition
- Have low technical competence
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Conservatives (2)
- predictable
- want everything faster, cheaper, improved
- are price sensitive
- like bundles, pre-installed solutions
- “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”
- very interested in service and support
Their role: huge mass market

Positio-
ningA Workshop Lecture
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
What is Positioning?
Positioning defines where your product or service stands in relation to others
offering similar products and services in the marketplace as well as the mind of
the consumer.
Positioning always starts with a “product” (merchandise, a service, a company, an
institution, or even a person….)
but positioning is not what you do to that product. Positioning is what you do to
the mind of the prospect or customer.
Positioning is the act of designing the company’s
offering and image to occupy distinctive place in
the mind of the target market.
Kottler Keller

Content Marketing B2B vs. B2C
- Informative or emotional?
- facts or story?
picture: Sunlab.de
July 2015 Dr. Ute Hillmer
Address prospect emotionally, the degree of emotion depends on target market
Offer facts and statistics that can be used further in combination with emotions.
Wrap content is exciting, emotion-heavy storytelling. Awaken covetousness.
B2B prospects love a good story, but there should be Facts and Information to support the storytelling.
Target market is often multi-Layered e.g. supplement for sports-people: Pro-bodybuilder, beginner, endurance-Sportsmen, fat people, thin people, …
More homogeneous, linear target marketswith functionally diverse buying center
