Activating A Buyer-Aligned Sales Process Through A Portfolio Marketing And Sales Operations Partnership

Today’s buyers engage in a complex purchasing process and therefore require more content and interactions — both self-guided and personal — throughout the buyer’s journey. Forrester’s B2B Buying Survey results showed a dramatic 62% increase in the number of interactions throughout the buying process — from 17 in 2019 to 27 in 2021. These interactions send a variety of signals about the buyer’s journey and determine how sellers should interact with the buyer. By sharing and leveraging data collected by the portfolio marketing and sales operations teams and infusing those insights into each stage of the buyer-aligned process, an organization can amplify the experience of buyers and sellers.
