One of the biggest challenges and advantages of modern marketing is the ability to access information anytime, anywhere.
On the plus side, it's easier than ever to identify personal profiles, generate leads, and collect user data.
On the other hand, it means sales cycles have drastically changed from what they used to be.
What's Changing?
When buyers are searching for your product online, they have access to direct comparisons immediately.
Potential leads can find a wealth of information in seconds- competitors, product reviews, your company's entire online presence.
Consumers are more informed than ever, which can be beneficial. You know your product is good quality, you know your team works hard, and you know your company has a great business plan.
Putting that information in front of potential buyers is a welcome opportunity. However, as true as this is for your company, it is also true for every one of your competitors.
Buyers can be overwhelmed with information, and it's hard to get their attention when they're scrolling through a list of similar services. This also means it's harder to start potential buyers on the sales journey for your product. Sales teams have to get attention sooner, jump in earlier, and expedite the sales journey to reduce churn and keep people on their sites.
Traditional sales cycles are speeding up. Buyers are searching for products directly and finding a wealth of information in seconds. Your product should not only stand up to your competition in a direct comparison, but also stand out using SEO and marketing techniques. That's no small order.
