Learn the root of the problem of modern customer journeys, how you can address it, and the potential benefits you can get from solving it.
B2B journeys are complex and no longer linear
With an average of 6-9 months, B2B sales cycles and customer journeys today are complex. You’re probably interacting with 6-10 decision-makers. While your potential customers are engaging with you using different channels and devices. As a result, everybody gets lost in the customer journey. DemandGen found that B2B buyers (97%) expect companies to demonstrate stronger knowledge of their needs. On the other hand, companies find it hard to track customer interactions, making it difficult to address their expectations.
Data silos are the main culprit
To deliver an engaging and relevant customer experience throughout the B2B sales cycle, you need to streamline data points across channels and devices. Data must be linked into a single, unified process that cuts across your marketing, sales, and customer success teams. However, this is not the case for most organizations. For 9 out of 10 executives, data silos are their biggest obstacle to digital transformation. According to MuleSoft, on average, enterprises have data in 900 apps and only one-third are integrated. That’s a group or groups of raw data isolated from the rest of the organization. Besides the lack of transparency, data silos cause many disadvantages for companies:- Bad customer experience
- Incomplete view of the business
- Division instead of team collaboration
- Less productivity and resource waste
- Undiscovered insights that could support better decisions
