B2B business development has become increasingly complex, with companies finding it harder than ever to drive growth.

One of the biggest challenges?

Many organizations have shifted their investments down the funnel—hiring more sales and BDR resources—while pulling back on marketing. Yet, buyer behavior has evolved in the opposite direction.

Today, buyers are forming their shortlists and making decisions before ever speaking to a sales rep. This means if your brand isn’t investing in marketing, you’re not even making it into their consideration set.

To grow revenue, companies must excel across four critical stages:

✅Awareness: They must have heard of you

✅Affinity: They must like you and believe you can solve their challenges

✅In-Market: They must be ready to buy

✅Engagement: Then they talk to your sales team, who still needs to beat the competition and win the deal

- Increased high-quality lead volume
