The “wealth effect” the idea that consumer and business spending goes up with increases in stock prices, could taper with a downturn in the stock market. With the upcoming political year, it is highly likely that investors will cash out of some of their returns in early 2020, which could result in slower consumer and business spending in the early part of the year. Both B2B and B2C buyers might focus on “must haves” and delay the purchase of “nice to haves” until mid-year.

Since the beginning of B2B marketing as we know it, marketers have struggled with the question of how to get in front of the right prospects at the precise moment they’re ready to buy. For decades, the only solution was to use firmographic data (company size, industry, geographic footprint, etc.) which unfortunately offered no insights into whether the target would be ready to buy today, next quarter, next year, or ever. Things improved somewhat when technographic data came on the scene. By finding out which tools, technologies, and applications a company used, marketers could gain deeper insights into what they buy, how they operate, and what they might be looking to do next.

Account-based selling focuses on quality over quantity. Sales teams prioritize their prospecting efforts based on the companies they should be contacting rather than the individuals. They use data to find specific accounts that would benefit from their product and then devise customized, high-touch prospecting approaches for those target accounts. By employing account-based selling, you ensure that your sales teams are focusing on highpotential, high-value accounts, making them more likely to close deals, hit their quotas, and grow your business.

Almost a decade ago, McKinsey Global Institute found that data-driven organizations are not only 23 times more likely to acquire customers, but also six times as likely to retain customers, and 19 times more profitable than their competitors. Yet in 2021, NewVantage Partners found that “only 24% of organizations are data-driven.” With the velocity, volume, and variety of data, it is not easy to go from data to insights to action. Organizations struggle with bad data, siloed data, and multiple versions of the truth. No longer is it about having enough data, the focus is on having the right data and knowing what to do with it once you do.
