Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge.

This can be attributed partially to customers and prospects having more stakeholders involved in any buying decision—combined with tendencies for more conservative buying behaviors in 2023.
