Creating programs to drive growth within existing accounts Successfully partnering with sales across the entire customer journey Challenges with Demand Generation and Sales Enablement Identifying solutions to advance customers through a complex buying process 1 2 3 Purchase difficulty (experienced by 77% of customers) creates increasingly low-quality sales and high purchase regret.
Large average buying groups of 9.6 stakeholders - each consuming information from an average of 4.5 different sources– stall deals and waste rep time.
And while customers use Sales reps and Marketing channels equally throughout the buying process, only 20% of Marketing content addresses later stage needs. Marketers are experiencing heightened expectations from senior leadership to take on more responsibility for growing and retaining customers.
73% of Marketing leaders report struggling to improve account growth with existing customers.
ABM techniques offer a structured approach and set of tools for efficiently reaching both prospective and current customers, helping to focus internal resources on the best business opportunities. Even though 83% of customers continue to use digital channels in the late stages of their buying journey, Marketing and Sales teams regularly lack a shared framework for consistent customer engagement.
Despite consistent investment in demand generating content and lead qualification tools, sales reps continue to distrust marketing leads with only 46% of MQLs converting to SALs and only 3% converting to new business on average.<br>
