With the growing advancements in B2B Marketing Technology, it is important to build a technology stack for your organization for efficient customer interactions, data accumulation & converting leads to buyers.
The development of CRM software brought a whole new perspective to the way customer behavior was tracked & interactions based on customer or prospect data were collected for subsequent use in developing email campaigns & other marketing techniques. Along with CRM, other technologies such as Marketing Automation Tools, Data Analytics, etc. are also changing the landscape of marketing & are making them greatly customer insight-driven.
With such an evolving role at hand, B2B Marketing Technology professionals have an immense role to play.
