Over the past two years, consumer technology adoption and market forces have catapulted the field of customer experience to strategic stature. In 2012, this shift manifested itself privately through sweeping organizational changes at companies in nearly every industry — and shined publicly through an increase in mainstream media mentions, a proliferation of customer experience conferences, and a burgeoning community of practitioners.
In 2013, leaders who gathered momentum over the past few years will look to reinvigorate their efforts and avoid stalling out. These companies — and those that seek to follow their lead — will turn a close eye to their internal operations and renew their focus on customer insights. Meanwhile, laggards will take shortcuts to catch the customer experience train — and will crash and burn as a result of their own short-sightedness.
In this webinar, analysts Kerry Bodine and Ron Rogowski share Forrester's predictions for what Customer Experience Professionals should expect in the year ahead.

Seismic shifts in buying group behavior and business dynamics are wreaking havoc on the frontline B2B marketing teams accountable for revenue, such as demand marketing, account-based marketing (ABM), and customer marketing. All marketing teams share some responsibility for addressing changing buyer behaviors and influencing revenue, but frontline marketing teams that are directly accountable for pipeline and revenue are most susceptible to changing buying behaviors. For them, failure to meet pipeline or revenue objectives could mean termination.In this webinar, Forrester Research Directors Steve Casey and Lisa Nakano lead a panel discussion with B2B marketing analysts John Arnold, Lisa Gately, and Malachi Threadgill to unpack a major mindset shift happening in the most progressive B2B marketing organizations. Forrester calls this mindset shift lifecycle revenue marketing (LRM). Our discussion will focus on the reasons and changes needed to move from an inside-out approach that lives or dies by internal processes to an outside-in strategy that lives and breathes the customer lifecycle and empowers frontline marketers to extend engaged audiences and stand up more adaptive programs.Key takeaways:Current trends in buying behavior and the impact on frontline marketing effortsAn introduction to the guiding principles of lifecycle revenue marketing (LRM)How LRM breaks through silos, extends audience engagement, and connects marketing programs to the full lifecycle of revenue opportunitiesTarget audience level: all levels
