 1. Establish your expertise by sharing in-depth, reliable insights

A whitepaper can present information market information, trends, innovation directions. It can also be used to explain a complex concept or new product. Usually, it contains information and insights – presented clearly, logically and attractively – that your prospects would not easily find elsewhere. By issuing a whitepaper on a topic that matters to their business, you’re doing them a favour. You’re also doing your own company a favour: a whitepaper can help establish your expertise in the field, build your reputation, and gain the trust of prospects, who will recognize in you an authoritative, reliable potential partner.

 2. Create goodwill by sharing free knowledge

By making this high-value information available in a comprehensive and understandable format, you show potential
customers that you value transparency. A whitepaper is a way of inviting customers and prospects to tap into your expertise, and of helping them to understand complex challenges. Your whitepaper can help them make better decisions – and that goodwill will pay itself back in new leads. A successful whitepaper earns the reader’s trust: instead of selling her a product, you’re giving her the information she needs to think carefully about her next steps. Most of us today greatly value relevant, trustworthy information, and providing this might be just as important as openly telling a prospect about the benefits of your product or service.
