New Research on B2B Buying
With the project partners Google, Business.com, Marketo, Demandbase and Covario, Enquiro’s new primary research takes a fresh look at B2B lead acquisition and management strategy.
Business buying decisions are notoriously complex. Knowing why people do what they do has become an area of specialty for Enquiro. Multiplying the complexity of that question many times by making it an organizational buying decision including several people and corporate objectives, the entire process becomes extraordinarily convoluted and challenging.
Building on the past research presented by Enquiro on B2B buying behavior, this project takes a joint qualitative/quantitative approach to studying business buying. Through a series of webinars and whitepapers, marketers will get a new perspective on how to more effectively market to B2B purchasers. The findings point to actionable strategies and tactics as they apply to search marketing, marketing automation, online advertising, and the sales process itself.
We would like to thank our five research partners that have made this study possible:
