Just when you think Facebook is only for rage-posting and telling the world about how cats are awkward, there is actually more to it than meets the eye.

For entrepreneurs, especially those engaged in selling B2B solutions, Facebook is one powerful platform that should (no, must!) have a special place in their marketing.

To start with, CMOs of major global brands manage Facebook accounts for professional purposes, one of which is to search for effective products and services. This gives you an idea just how important it is to focus on Facebook as a major driver of B2B leads and eventually revenue.

But just like any other tool, Facebook is one that needs to be mastered. Luckily, we have just the right advice to maximize your lead generation using Facebook.

Turn to video

Facebook has come a long way from being just an on-campus social networking site. Now, it has several features B2B marketers can take advantage for their content marketing. For instance, the new video service allows users to access a playlist just by watching a single video. The only thing you need to do is make videos that are relevant to your brand. Short tutorials are a good start.

Keep it short and “human”

When it comes to tech products, a lot of people including CMOs would expect to cut out all the geeky parts and come down to the main point. It is also true for other products and services as well. People nowadays do not have the luxury of time to dig up what you are trying to say from a litter box of technical jargon.

To truly connect with your Facebook audience, you need keep your posts conversational and human. And that simply means using industry words sparingly and centering the message on the result that people want.
