Why B2B brands must focus on orchestrating meaningful customer engagement

Martech

About 12 years ago, I met with a client and spoke about their approach to customer acquisition. There were whiteboard diagrams, initiatives posted to the wall and discussions about the strategy. Not far into the meeting, a director said, “If we focused solely on marketing to our customers, we would overachieve on our objectives.” He continued, “If we simply were able to renew 10% of our customer base, we would drive $40 million in incremental revenue this year.” He had do

Recently, he reiterated his dissatisfaction with HTML sitemaps, saying: “I changed my mind on HTML sitemaps over the years, they should never be needed.
