It’s undeniable that Sales Development plays a crucial role in any B2B tech organization’s go-to-market strategy.

Last-Mile Personalization: Intent Insights and Sales Outreach

Think about your buyers. Buying a solution for their company is a complicated, risky proposition. To even begin a real buyer’s journey, they’ve got to be experiencing a big enough issue that it’s worth the effort. And they’ve got to be solving a big enough problem that it’s worth the resources of everyone involved. That’s the reality that you’re selling into – the difficult buying team work necessary to move from a big problem to a successful solution. By helping buyers move through this process, great content accelerates it and increases your chances of winning. So what exactly is that content? Why do most organizations struggle to produce it? And how can your team do better?

In this webinar replay from TechTarget's Virtual Event, Reach,  John McNight, Senior Vice President, Research & Strategy at TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), will help you better understand and navigate the needs and challenges surrounding creating the content you need to win. He’ll cover the organization issues you face, the essential elements of the content itself, and the operationalization of a content engine that can better deliver for your prospects and your company.

What is Great Content for Buyers and Why’s it So Hard?

Winning with B2B Webinars: SonicWall's Content Marketing Playbook

Revenue development was conceived as a way to leverage one-to-many capabilities into more productive opportunity discovery. At its center, there was the concept of the MQL — which was easy for management to understand and track. So, we’ve all tried to find more and more MQLs, even though they’re now proven to be notoriously poor predictors. There has to be a better way! But with all the KPIs, systems and processes locking us in, change can be very hard. And yet for many companies, it’s starting to look like a must.

To learn from a leader who’s broken through, join TechTarget CMO John Steinert as he speaks with Michael Brown, head of Reltio’s Global Revenue Development organization. Hear why this world-class Master Data Management company needed to make the move past MQLs to buying groups and opportunities, how they accomplished it organizationally and systematically, and what their outcomes are to date. This transition that they accomplished in 60 days won Reltio a prestigious POY Award at this year’s Forrester Summit in Austin. It’s a must see for innovative GTM practitioners and leaders alike.

Demand Evolution: From Leads with Problems to Teams with Projects

Generative AI is going to be an effective tool for ramping up content volumes, but volume and impact are very different. All marketers need to be able to differentiate their solutions and align them better to customer needs or else a buyer won’t engage. Sellers need to maximize relevance and minimize noise in their interactions. Therefore, in order to have more effective marketing and sales, AI needs to help GTM organizations better understand what buyers want and need and then provision them with content based on the best possible insight.

Join TechTarget's VP of AI Strategy Paul Healey and VP of Content and Market Insights Ryan Bell, as they discuss what good personalization looks like and how TechTarget is envisioning the best way to help sellers and buyers alike using AI.

AI and Content: The Advantage is in the Data

It is the best of times and the worst of times. Despite more and more tools available to sales, the gap between potential productivity and actual productivity is rapidly widening. To make matters worse, direct buyer engagement is down significantly since COVID. But fear not, help is on the way. The emergence of generative AI, fueled by precision intent data and other data sources, promises to raise sales performance and increase productivity in dramatic ways. Whether you’re super-excited about the possibilities, somewhat scared for your job, or straddling the fence, it’s a session not to be missed.

Join Tech Target and guest speaker, Forrester Principal Analyst Seth Marrs as he describes key areas where he sees AI-driven innovation catalyzing positive change for sellers, buyers and their companies alike. He’ll outline the existing challenges, highlight the building blocks in place, and comment on the current status of change.

3 Ways AI is Revolutionizing B2B Sales

Although many go-to-market teams conceptually understand that the buying journey is far from linear, many struggle to adapt their strategies to the realities of today’s technology buying cycle. As purchase cycles increase in complexity and involve more buying team members, vendors need to ensure their marketing campaigns are aligned to buyers’ varying needs and that their sales teams are engaging the right members of the buying team at the right time with the right message.

VMware Tanzu is ahead of the curve when it comes to aligning marketing and sales activity to the non-linear buying cycle. With a laser-focus on real, observed behavioral activity, they’ve implemented a tech stack that supports their need to identify in-market accounts, engage individual buying team members and measure long-term results. TechTarget’s Christina Stone will sit down with Heidi Ramich, VMware Tanzu’s Director, Global Marketing Operations & Analytics, to discuss how the enterprise technology buying team has evolved, the importance of tapping into intent signals in a longer buying cycle, and the role of marketing in helping to make the "short list" for vendor selection. By the end of the webinar, participants will have a better understanding of how to leverage TechTarget and other key components of their tech stack to help get noticed in the non-linear buying journey.

If we stay in our lane as marketers, succeeding at omnichannel marketing could seem like the key to reaching your strategic goals. And yet, especially in B2B, no business can succeed on great marketing alone. And while it’s always good to be laser-focused on our own specific functional tasks, especially in these days of digital interaction and data-driven automation, driving major improvements often requires a broader outlook or more holistic mindset. That’s why we believe today’s most competitive teams need to see beyond concepts like omnichannel delivery. And as an ambitious marketer, you should consider thinking this way too.

In this discussion between Terminus co-founder and GTM Partners CEO Sangram Vajre and TechTarget CMO, John Steinert, we’ll examine the learnings each leader has gained as they’ve built out their businesses and their thinking, from laser-focus at the start to the holistic GTM approaches they are actively championing today.

What’s After Omnichannel? How to Think Holistically About Performance

Economic downturns can present significant challenges for organizations striving to maintain growth and profitability. Yet, it’s during these challenging times that investing in high-quality content becomes a strategic imperative. Instead of deciding whether to invest, marketers must decide where to invest in order to take advantage of the current climate. 

Join BrightTALK’s in-house production experts to dig into why video has emerged the undisputed champion of driving engagement and delivering ROI. They’ll discuss strategies for creating impactful content on a limited budget while answering the question on everyone’s mind – when paying for content gets trickier, is doubling-down on my investment the way to save my year?

Why Investing in Content Will Save Your Year

Step aside, home movies. When done well, modern video storytelling helps brands stand out in a noisy marketing landscape by eliciting emotion and directly impacting the decision-making process.
