ROI Based Marketing and Sales Strategy
If you are not sure that you need an ROI based marketing and sales strategy, think about the following for a few minutes: • 81% of buyers expect vendors to quantify the business value of their product or service, meaning 60% more projects are likely to be approved (Information Week). • According to an Ernst & Young study, only 2% of the buyers say vendors are exceeding their expectations for ROI justification during the sales cycle.
