Here are the 10 ways B2B marketing teams are leveraging the power of intent to fill their pipelines, engage targets, and guide prospects all the way to a sale.

A more workable alternative might be to import ready-to-work leads generated by an intent monitoring platform. When reviewing possible lead generation partners — like content syndicators and tele-prospecting sources — be sure to ask vendors whether they use intent data in generating the leads they send you, and listen carefully to their responses. The growing popularity of intent data is no secret, and many marketers have begun working the word “intent” into their marketing — including those who incorporate intent data only in the very loosest sense.

Our relationships with brands naturally change over time, and the radical, accelerated digital evolution of consumer behavior and expectations over the past two years only serves to underscore the need for instant gratification. Not long ago, CX professionals focused in large part on behavioral differences between generations—Millennial or Gen Z versus Boomer.

Conceived in the early 2000s as a way to bring marketing and sales organizations together around a teambased approach to nurturing their most important accounts, ABM is now used by 70% of marketers, up from just 15% a year ago, according to HubSpot. Technology marketers have taken a particular interest in ABM, given the complex factors that influence IT purchases. Foundry’s second global survey of 500 B2B technology marketers found that satisfaction with ABM continues to be high, particularly at the largest companies. While most organizations are still early in their adoption journey, the results to date indicate that ABM is on track to not only become a mainstream marketing discipline but even displace more traditional methods.
