As marketers, we know there’s pressure to prove the return on every single penny spent – and rightfully so! We also know that there’s a lot of events and content out there designed for you. With that in mind, we know that buying an event ticket isn’t always the care-free exercise it once was. So, if you need help convincing your boss that this event is worth attending, read on.

What if my boss still isn't convinced?

As we know, buying a ticket isn’t always straightforward! Below, we’ve listed some of the common objections you might hear, and how we’d recommend responding to it.

 

“It’s too expensive”

If you consider the number of sessions running this year (35!), the number of B2B experts (70+!), and the range of content stages (8, including everything from growth and innovation to B2B at scale), the return on investment from a £799 B2B Ignite ticket is huge. This year we've introduced early bird pricing, which saves you £100 per ticket, and which you can take advantage of until 3 May. Plus, because you've read down this far, here's an exclusive 20% discount code: CONVINCETHEBOSS. Simply enter this while checking out, and use as many times as you need.

 

“I could get this information elsewhere”

We don’t claim to be re-inventing the wheel, and there absolutely is some amazing free content out there (including on www.b2bmarketing.net). The problem is, how much do you trust it? How do you know it’s relevant for you right now? We didn’t just get the domain name for no reason back in 2004. We are the world’s foremost authority on B2B marketing, and we’ve seen it all over the years. B2B Ignite gives you the peace of mind that you’re listening to marketers worth listening to. Stop wasting time trawling Google for a great report, and hear from the experts.

 

“We’re too busy”

We know! Marketers are some of the busiest people on Planet Earth, with endless to-do lists, and a say in almost every aspect of the business. With pressure to hit big targets, marketers can fall into the volume trap, thinking that more is more. Actually, we believe that marketers need to take back control, prove to the CEO what they should and shouldn’t be doing, and start being more effective with their time. B2B Ignite helps you do that by showing you exactly what the world’s greatest marketers are and aren’t doing, helping you up your game and give your boss more blessed time to work with.
