Focus offline conversations on high-value points of differentiation. Your website content—however tailored—may represent only a fraction of the total time a prospect considers your product. That’s true even among B2B customers who are supposedly more rational than their B2C counterparts.

Benchmarks for download-to-customer conversion rates are scarce. That’s a grim portrait, even if conversion rates for other lead magnets are multiples higher.
