Now more than ever it's crucial for Revenue Leaders to understand the importance of quality multi-threaded engagement in B2B sales. Here’s why and why now:
1. De-risking opportunities: Did you know? Globally, Director+ level professionals are more likely to transition to new roles in January than any other month. For January 2023, this trend was 49% higher compared to other months (source: LinkedIn.com). This shift in roles means that relying on 1 to 2 contacts is risky in the current environment where B2B sales cycles are already longer.
2. Adapting to Consensus Buying: The macroeconomic climate has transformed B2B sales into a consensus buying decision. According to Gartner, organizations that employ a multi-threaded approach in their sales processes outperform their competitors by a staggering 50%. On average, there are now 11 people involved in Enterprise buying cycle.
