Solving the Marketing/Sales Attribution Problem Once and for All Sales Hacker

If you’ve worked at a B2B company that uses an ABM strategy for their Go To Market and has an SDR team you have inevitably run into the problem of lead attribution.

In B2C or e-commerce these problems exist, too. Was it the Facebook ad that helped us drive the sale? Or was it the blog, or the TV ad? What’s the impact of each? It’s hard to know.

5 Things to Know About Using Video for Sales Sales & Marketing Management

Businesses have tinkered with video for several years, but many have been slow to implement it as a core part of their sales strategies.

While video in sales was starting to pick up before 2020, the pandemic accelerated the trend with grounded travel along with the need to continue making human connections with potential and current customers, remotely.

How the News Feed Algorithms Work on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram HubSpot

You're connected with hundreds of people — maybe even thousands — on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. But when you log in to each of these social networks, it's likely that you don't want to be bombarded by every single update from every single connection. That'd be pretty overwhelming, wouldn't it?
