Gone are the days when B2B sales were about making a hundred cold calls a day or visiting clients in person. Also gone are the days when ideal customers from your target companies are knocking at your sales team’s doors in droves. Although cold calling, inbound marketing, inside sales and field sales still have a place in the sales planning of many companies, the modern B2B buyer is looking for a different type of interaction with B2B sellers.

The importance of data is undeniable. But the path to reliable business intelligence is not always straightforward. When you set out to buy a third-party data set, you might assume you should compare based on quantity and cost. But using evaluations like “how many accounts can you provide?” or “what is your cost per contact?” often means the vendor with the most records wins and the one offering the highest quality data gets overlooked.

A dramatic shift has occurred in the B2B landscape. Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge. For SaaS companies relying on traditional sales strategies to grow revenue, these trends will only become worse, as they now falter in the face of modern purchasing paradigms.

The tricky part is understanding the nuances of first-party and third-party data, to leverage each in a way that allows you to serve relevant ads to your target audiences. It’s also important to be aware that, as privacy laws crack down on third-party cookies, it will soon become more difficult for marketers to deliver on their goals.

One of the fundamentals in any kind of solution or value based selling is the ROI produced by the solution. Sadly, too few sales people even understand this, competing on cost and price, leaving the customer to determine the business case and the ROI of implementing a solution themselves.
