I recently have started working with an automotive remarketing company, B2B. They deal with large companies to get fleet vehicles sold at auctions efficiently and for the highest price.
They have multiple offices around the country, here are the businesses they work with.
They reached out to me to help their marketing.
My plan is to research competitors, learn more about the industry, and I want to meet with a fleet manager for a larger company and buy them coffee, asking them how they personally go about finding an automotive remarketing company to do business with.
I usually start with asking "where do you get all of your customers from currently?" and this usually tells me a decent place to start. Any operational business that's been around for years HAS to have SOME idea about how to find customers, so I like to piggy back onto that and apply some modern touches or slightly improve systems in an already working strategy, but this guy has said their business comes from their relationships they've formed after being in business so long...which isn't very helpful. (call clients and ask for referrals I guess?)
Does anyone here have experience in this industry? Does anyone have some broad experience in B2B marketing in a way similar to this? Has anyone here been a fleet manager for a company?
Can we run facebook ads targeting the job title of "fleet manager" within many different large companies and see if that works?
Any ideas?
