No More Cold Calling

OCTOBER 10, 2019

This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships.

It’s no surprise to see more and more marketers explore and invest in attribution modeling in 2019 and beyond. After all, the B2B buyer’s journey has become increasingly complex, as each prospect engages with a number of digital touchpoints on their path to becoming a customer. It’s imperative for marketers to understand their customers’ journey and the role that each touchpoint plays in an eventual purchase — and marketing attribution is the one tactic that helps them do so.
