Quotes
“Marketing has fundamentally changed. Gone are the days where we have this idea of a linear pipeline where marketing drops leads in the top, hands them to an SDR who would work that lead into a demo, who would hand it to an account rep, who would then work it through to a closed deal.”
“For the most advanced companies and the ones that are doing this right, we think about the role that marketing can play across this so that we’re not just at the starting point of this but we’re all throughout the funnel.”
“Pipeline is now a circular process, where sales and marketing are both interacting with the potential customer in order to drive intent and have them close.”
