Early Engagement Wins: Activate Your Way to the Top of More Shortlists

It's commonly accepted that more than 2/3 of the buyer’s journey often happens before B2B buyers choose to engage with sellers. What’s more, a recent 6sense Research study found that a full 81% of buyers have picked a winner before they ever talk to a sales rep. It’s becoming clear that many GTM motions still put too much emphasis on trying to influence deals only once sales has established buyer contact. They’re typically (and chronically) underestimating the importance of the research phase in determining the outcome. They’re way too late to make an impact and their sellers are therefore losing deals before they even have a chance.
