Quotes
“Ask yourself: Who are our buyers? What are their concerns? How do they want to buy?”
“Educating and exploring for buyers isn’t something that begins and ends just at the beginning of the funnel, it’s something that continues throughout the buying journey.”
“We used to think of the B2B buying journey as linear, but it’s anything but linear these days. It’s complex and there is no one clear path.”
“For us as vendors, we need to be wherever the buyer wants to be, and engage with them at every step in that buying journey.”
“As a vendor, it’s crucial for us to sell in the way the buyer wants to buy. We need to make the buying experience a lot easier.”
