Quote(s):
“What are the business processes that our buyers go through? What are their jobs like? What is their working environment? What does their day look like? Right? And then how do we give the salesperson the education on the topics that are relevant to those buyers that we can address so they can start asking questions and start sort of engaging in an open-ended way and that's kind of the problem, right? You can do all this automation on the website and you can create beautiful content, but if you're not thinking about how do I enable my sellers to understand that content journey and how to leverage the insights that are attached to that content to create dialogue, then it will fall short.”
