Today’s buyers are busier than ever before, and their attention span is shrinking. In fact, Microsoft found from a recent study that humans have the attention span of a goldfish.

Which is a mere eight seconds (and counting)…  

Since eight seconds is short-lived, sellers only have a fraction of time to stir-up curiosity. But by using personalized, relevant prospecting techniques, sellers can cut through the noise and get to the heart of what their buyers care about.

But too often, sellers of every caliber aren’t really sure how to effectively use these techniques. 

Join us alongside our partner, Reveneer, on February 15th, as we’ll dive into how you can create relevant sales conversations, stand out from the prospecting crowd, and stay top-of-mind in a busy market. 

You’ll learn:

Proven tips and tricks to quickly capture and hold your prospect’s attention across channels

The differences between personalization and relevance and why it matters 

Where relevance comes into play across the sales cycle and how to use it 

Ways to go beyond traditional personalization techniques to engage prospects

Sales is tough enough as it is, and prolonged economic uncertainties make the job even harder. Budgets are reduced or eliminated.

How Top Sales Leaders Use Data and Automation to Upskill Teams

When building a sales team, it’s tempting to gravitate toward candidates with the same specific traits. But too often, focusing on “culture fit” can create massive blind spots for your business.

By focusing instead on “culture adds,” sales leaders can create an inviting environment for new ideas, encourage healthy competition, and drive better bottom-line results. 

Join sales leaders from ZoomInfo and SmartBug Media, as they share actionable insights about how to develop a diverse sales workforce. You will learn about:
- Improving results with a team that embraces many backgrounds

As we sit on the brink of a recession, it’s hard to determine the next moves your business should make. While this environment is perhaps less predictable than previous downturns, that doesn’t mean you should just sit tight and wait for more clarity.

Is marketing using the right channels to effectively hone in on prospects and drive leads? 

Think past the end of the quarter and the end of the year. What does your business need to do to get through the downturn and continue to be successful afterward?

In volatile times, it is hard to sell. It seems like every company is on a spending freeze, cutting back, or pushing off making decisions. Buyers become scarce and the competition for the few that are still buying is fierce. People don’t want to meet with you, objections are harsher, customers cancel orders and contracts on a whim, and pressure you for price decreases.

Yet, you are still under the same pressure to make your sales number. In this situation, it’s natural to feel stressed out and feel demotivated.

How to Fail-Proof Your Sales and Marketing Alignment

While customer data is an essential tool in the marketing toolbox, a recent poll revealed that nearly 40% of respondents struggle to apply that data to their marketing campaigns.

That’s no surprise though. As audience data floods your CRM and marketing automation tools, it’s easy to lose focus and default to “spray and pray” marketing. It might sound counterintuitive, but sometimes it’s more effective for marketers to go small.

It's time to consider a niche marketing approach that brings in the prospects that actually convert.

Marketing experts from Act-On and ZoomInfo will show you real-world applications on how to:
- Create a niche marketing strategy that’s easy to build, personalize, and scale
- Untangle the challenges around marketing segmentation
- Reach your target segments using micro-level data points
- Execute and evaluate your plan using go-to marketing tools

The Power of Niche Marketing

In this webinar, Shawn Peterson, CEO of Quantum Business Solutions, and Ben Salzman, SVP of Special Projects at ZoomInfo, discuss how to improve your company's go-to-market strategy.
