A dramatic shift has occurred in the B2B landscape. Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge. For SaaS companies relying on traditional sales strategies to grow revenue, these trends will only become worse, as they now falter in the face of modern purchasing paradigms.

Working in a highly competitive, smash your numbers, ‘get the deal at any cost, KPI driven’ sales environment and not being driven by money made me feel there was something amiss with my motivation levels because I didn’t seem to think the same way as my colleagues – or so I thought!

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

Scenario If you’re a technology vendor, a way to identify good-fit target prospects is to know which accounts are buying from your competitors. Instead of viewing the prospect as a lost cause, use their buying patterns as an indication that they are worth pursuing over the long run. You can use the insight about their purchases as a way to angle your pitch to convey the unique value that your product offers and, more importantly, what the competition is lacking.

Without these insights, marketing campaigns can feel more like guesswork, with high investment and little return. We’re here to tell you there’s a better way. By tracking buyers’ digital footprints and online activity, such as website visits, product reviews, and spikes in content consumption, you can engage prospects with a message that really resonates.
