Marketers Must Innovate and Develop

Established companies are successfully building new businesses on a repeated basis, a process we call corporate entrepreneurship. Marketing, is not just selling the story but helping create it, must play a central role. True marketing is about understanding potential customers better than anyone else, translating those insights into powerful offerings and experiences, and creating ever more effective and efficient paths to market.

Sales is No Longer Chasing Prospects

If you’re not providing your sales team with a steady stream of potential new customers, you’re doing your business a disservice.  Why is it important to think about how to generate leads other than chasing after clients? Consider that 90 percent of top decision-makers say they never respond to cold calls.  Meanwhile on the other hand, 76 percent of buyers are ready to have a conversation on social media.  Wow, tell that to Grandpa!
