The B2B sales profession is reeling. Covid19 has fundamentally changed the nature of sales engagements, restricting face-to-face meetings or events for the foreseeable future, making hard-to-reach buyers harder to reach than ever.

Meanwhile, more and more of the buyer journey for complex B2B products and services is being conducted online, prohibiting sales professionals to only the final stages of a deal.

So how do marketing and sales redefine their roles for this ongoing transformation? And what does marketing need to do to help sales both prepare and face this new reality?

We’ll be discussing these issues in this live webinar. Other areas that we’ll discuss will include:

• How marketing and sales teams need to be structured to face the new environment.
• How content needs and expectations are changing in response to buyer behaviour.
• How sales and marketing must adapt to the future of events and meetings.
• How marketing can assist with final stage negotiations.

The only reason you create marketing materials is to influence your buyers’ decisions in some way. But influence is really a function of memory. After all, your buyers will make decisions based on what they remember. And you can’t hope to influence those decisions if your messages and content aren’t memorable.

So how do you create memorable marketing?

Join cognitive neuroscientist and Chief Science Officer, Dr Carmen Simon, to hear the results of Corporate Visions’ latest research and learn practical techniques to activate your buyer’s memory and make your marketing more influential.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

1. How memory influences people’s actions and decisions
2. How to make your messages more memorable and persuasive
3. The importance of using repetition the right way
4. How much and what kind of visuals can impact memory
5. How to harness complexity, rather than simplify it

Sales enablement is set to be a critical discipline for marketers focused on helping their firms rebound from the coronavirus lockdown. But despite being a core marketing function, there’s much inconsistency in approach and best practice isn’t widely understood.

In this webinar we’ll examine:

We’re at an inflexion point in B2B marketing and in MarTech. The first-generation approach to “Modern Marketing” ­– powered by a collection of tools affectionately called your “MarTech Stack” – is running out of steam, piling up debt every day.

As customer expectations increase and executives demand more accelerates, B2B teams are re-thinking their approach, shifting from the traditional Marketing Automation-centric effort to Marketing Orchestration.

This evolved strategy offers CMOs, MOPs and digital demand leaders a unique ability to orchestrate data, systems, programs and experiences while adding new levels of intelligence, activation and alignment with your customers and target accounts.

In this 30-minute session, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on how you and your revenue generation team can deliver new levels of business outcomes, including how to:

• Advance (or skip) 1st-generation marketing automation to apply a market-leading orchestration strategy
• Take the complexity and tension out of your buyer-seller relationship, process and effort
• Move from MarTech Stack logo collecting to customer and revenue obsession
• Integrate your marketing efforts by unifying existing systems, data, people and processes
• Increase data quality to fuel your programs, performance, and sales and marketing productivity
• Deliver better business outcomes through streamlined pipeline and revenue generation
