B2B buying committees have undergone a generational reset. Who influences decisions, how they research, and what they expect from vendors has shifted, and marketing strategies need to catch up.

According to Forrester's State of Business Buying 2024 Report, the typical B2B buying committee for enterprise deals now involves 13 stakeholders, and that number is growing. While size matters, the transformation is more than just a numbers game. The generational makeup of these committees changes entirely how purchasing decisions are made, what criteria matter most, and where trust is established.

Millennials and Gen Z now account for 64-71% of B2B buyers, according to Forrester. In deals worth more than $1 million, 67% of buyers come from these two cohorts. This demographic transition matters because these generations have very different expectations of vendors and conduct research in ways no previous generation has.

So how do you build authentic trust with a committee of 13 stakeholders spanning multiple generations, each with distinct values, research behaviors, and decision criteria? The answer is LinkedIn.

Gen Z and Millennials want the real deal

Trust has always mattered in B2B relationships, but for Millennials and Gen Z, it's become the defining, decisive factor. These generations don't just evaluate vendors on product features and pricing; they also assess alignment with their personal and professional values.

The data reveals a striking pattern: 86% of Gen Z are more likely to buy from a company that supports social causes. A national survey by BBMG and GlobeScan found that Gen Z does not trust businesses to act in the best interests of society. 

This skepticism extends directly into B2B purchasing. Research shows that 63% of Gen Z consumers would abandon a brand they felt was not authentic or trustworthy, compared to 53-59% of older age groups. The message is clear: authenticity and trustworthiness drive loyalty for younger buyers.

For Millennials, the emphasis shifts slightly but remains values-driven. Research comparing shopping preferences shows that Millennials prioritize brand reputation more strongly than Gen Z, and they place significantly higher importance on sustainability considerations. As one study notes, Millennials approach shopping, valuing transparency, sustainability, and reliability.

These aren't superficial preferences. They change everything about how purchasing decisions are made. Corporate platitudes? Hard pass. Millennials and Gen Z have grown up in an apocalyptic, burning world, and want the world to be better. 

How modern buyers form preferences

Understanding when and how buying committees form their vendor preferences is vital in order to build real, genuine trust. The data reveals an uncomfortable reality for traditional B2B marketing, though: by the time vendors enter formal consideration, the decision is already made. If you’re not the chosen one (before you even know they were looking), you’re cooked.

According to Forrester's 2024 Buyers' Journey Survey, 92% of B2B buyers start their journey with at least one vendor in mind. Even more striking: 81% already have a preferred vendor when they first make contact, and 85% have defined their requirements before raising their hand. And scarier still, according to Hubspot’s 2025 State of Sales Report, 71% of buyers prefer independent research over talking to sales.

This means the critical trust-building phase happens during the dark funnel. This is not when Darth Vader does the research, rather it’s independent research, consulting peers, and forming opinions without consulting the actual vendor. 

Those kids out there on their newfangled LLMs, ‘doing their own research’, and making decisions based entirely on information accessible online and vibes.

The research phase has also evolved beyond what you want potential clients to see on your website. 67.4% of Gen Z rely on online reviews when researching a product, and 66% will avoid a product if reviews are outdated or insufficient. 80% of Gen Z trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, making those case studies ineffective if your online reviews are less than glowing.

For B2B marketers, this creates a quandary. You have to get your peeps to trust you before they signal buying intent. Luckily, there's a platform where professional buyers conduct research, evaluate vendors, and form preferences. That platform is LinkedIn.

Why LinkedIn solves the multi-stakeholder issue

LinkedIn's evolution from professional-networking-and-Bitcoin-bro to the place where all professionals hang out makes it the ideal platform for building trust with today's complex buying committees.

1. It hooks you up with real, actual, people

LinkedIn provides access to actual decision-makers by role, function, and seniority. Unlike account-based marketing that targets companies broadly, LinkedIn enables precise engagement with the CFO concerned about ROI, the VP of IT evaluating integration complexity, and the Director of Marketing assessing user adoption. And, it does this all at the same time, with messaging tailored to everyone’s specific concerns.

According to our analysis of over 100 B2B companies, 71.9% of marketers agree that leads from LinkedIn ads align more closely with their ideal customer profile and are more likely to be senior-level decision-makers compared to other channels. When you're trying to influence a 13-person buying committee, this precision becomes essential.

2. Building trust from and to every level

Younger buyers trust authentic voices over corporate messaging. Research shows that Gen Z and Millennials trust influencers and peers more than traditional advertisements. They seek unfiltered experiences and genuine expertise. In B2B contexts, this translates to executive thought leadership (but you can’t call it that, because that’s corporate-speak).

Data from our benchmark analysis shows that 53% of B2B marketers now amplify organic posts with Thought Leader Ads, recognizing that perspectives from real people like founders, executives, and subject matter experts build credibility that branded content cannot.

These ads showcase posts from individuals rather than companies, creating the authentic, human connection that younger buyers demand. And this can happen across the entire workforce; while the CEO connects with other CEOs, all staff can be ambassadors for their employer. Everyone from the receptionist through to the CFO is important to create genuine, positive, and authentic connections.

3. The multiplicative effect: LinkedIn makes everything better

LinkedIn's power extends beyond direct engagement on the platform itself. Our analysis of cross-channel attribution reveals that accounts exposed to LinkedIn ads demonstrate remarkably higher conversion rates across all marketing channels:

• 46% higher paid search conversion rates (up to 69% in top-performing campaigns)
• 43% improvement in meeting-to-deal conversion for SDR outbound when accounts saw LinkedIn ads first
• 112% lift in conversion rates from website content pages for accounts exposed to LinkedIn ads

This multiplicative effect is because brand recognition and trust built on LinkedIn make every subsequent touchpoint more effective. When a Gen Z procurement manager sees your paid search ad after engaging with your executive's thought leadership on LinkedIn, they're not encountering a stranger. They already feel like they know you, and more importantly, they trust you. 

4. The 95-5 rule: You don’t know most of your future customers exist

The LinkedIn B2B Institute's research established a critical insight: only 5% of your target market is actively in-market at any given time. The other 95% are out-of-market but will eventually (hopefully) buy. For complex enterprise deals with 13-person committees, the buying window might be 12-18 months away.

But we know that for many buyers, the first you’ll know about their interest in your product is when they request a demo. If you’re waiting for a bat signal sent to your desk, you’ve already missed out. Instead, you must build what behavioral scientists call "mental availability": you’ve already got to be in their minds when they enter the market.

LinkedIn enables you to do these two important things:

1. Broad-reach content that builds mental availability with the 95% through brand awareness campaigns, executive thought leadership, and educational content. Basically, putting you on their radar
2. Precision targeting to capture the 5% showing intent through retargeting, account-based campaigns, and lead generation

This Swiss-army-knife platform solves all the issues that CMOs lose sleep over: building long-term brand equity while hitting short-term pipeline targets (no more crying over pipeline targets).

How to make LinkedIn work for you

For B2B organizations navigating the complexity of modern buying committees, several principles should guide your LinkedIn strategy.

• Invest in authentic voices. Corporate content alone isn’t going to build the trust that buyers want. Empower executives and subject matter experts to share genuine perspectives. It’s also OK if the perspectives acknowledge industry challenges or go against a more traditional narrative. Be authentic. Be brave. 
• With 13 stakeholders involved in average enterprise deals, your LinkedIn strategy must reach and influence multiple people. 
• Prioritize brand building over lead capture. When 81% of buyers have a preferred vendor before formal evaluation, the leverage point is mental availability. The data shows top performers are allocating 31.3% of LinkedIn spend to brand awareness and engagement.
• Embrace format diversity. Single image ads declined from 61.2% to 53.3% of spend while video ads (+4.7pp), Document Ads (+4.3pp), and Connected TV (12.6X growth) captured budget. Millennials and Gen Z acknowledge we all learn in different ways; not everyone likes long-form blogs, or TikTok videos, so there has to be a mix.
• Measure trust indicators, not just conversion metrics. Cost-per-lead optimization misses the strategic value of trust-building. Track metrics like cost per ICP account engaged, cross-channel lift effects, and customer lifetime value to understand the full impact of trust-first marketing.

Trust and authenticity hit different

The expansion of buying committees to 13 stakeholders, combined with the generational shift toward values-driven decision-making, has changed the B2B landscape. Trust and authenticity are vital if you want to build trust.

LinkedIn is the platform where professional buyers research, evaluate, and form preferences. This makes it indispensable for trust-building at scale. As one marketing leader observed, B2B marketers surveyed indicate that 56.4% will increase their LinkedIn budgets by more than 10% in 2026. Whatever is going on, it’s working for them.

Have you got rizz? Is your business keeping it real? Or are you letting your competitors take your customers while you are still stuck on AdWords?

If you love stats and information that’ll bring you revenue, you should download the Benchmark Report, now.

There's a mass exodus happening in B2B marketing, and it's not just people fleeing yet another meeting that could have been an email.

Between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, B2B companies increased their LinkedIn ad budgets by 31.7% while Google ad spending limped along with a measly 6% growth. That's five times the difference in growth rates. This isn't a test. This isn't a trend. This is a serious pivot at the executive level. 

If you're still allocating your marketing budget like it's 2024, it’s time to have a serious chat. It’s not me, it’s you. Something needs to change.

The traditional channels are crashing out

What worked ten years ago doesn’t work today. What worked five years ago doesn’t work today. Increasingly, what worked one year ago doesn’t work today. The world is changing, and you’re sitting there, watching it spin on by, sipping your matcha latte and falling further behind.

We surveyed 125+ US-focused marketing leaders, and analysed data from 100+ B2B companies. Our LinkedIn Benchmarks Report gives intriguing insights into modern marketing, what works, and what is swiftly failing.

Organic traffic is tanking

While the aggregate numbers show a modest 1.7% growth in organic traffic, dig deeper, and you'll find the median organization actually experienced a -1.25% decline. Companies with 50K+ monthly traffic saw 67% of them losing ground.

Google's 2024-2025 algorithm updates basically carpet-bombed enterprise sites relying on historical domain authority. If you'd been coasting along as an established website, you're probably feeling the pain right now.

Paid search is having a full-blown meltdown

The paid search numbers are rough:

• Median paid search traffic change: -39%
• Aggregate conversion rate change: -8%
• Median CPC increase: 24%
• Companies with declining conversion rates: 65%

You're paying more, for less traffic, that converts at lower rates. That's a channel in crisis. According to our analysis of over 100 B2B companies, paid search is suffering on all fronts. Higher competition and more automated bidding and LLM’s impact on buyer behaviour are eating away at effectiveness and increasing costs.

Gated content is closing its gates (on you)

Gated content was the best strategy for the longest time; high-quality leads liked the valuable resources and the ROI was outstanding. But like newspapers in the time of social media, the relevance and impact is waning.

• Webinar registrations are down 12.7%
• eBook downloads among established programs have dropped by 5%
• Report downloads have fallen 26.3%

Now that B2B buyers can just ask ChatGPT for cliffnotes, your long and detailed gated whitepaper suddenly looks a lot less appealing. It sucks, we know.

The only demand gen action showing resilience? Demo requests, up 9.5%. But according to Forrester, 81% of buyers have a preferred vendor at first contact, and 85% have already established purchase requirements before reaching out. That demo request is a tick-boxing exercise because all the research is already done.

The great budget migration: Where the budget's actually going

LinkedIn's share of the digital marketing budget jumped from 31.3% to 37.6% in just one year. Google's share? Dropped from 68.7% to 62.4%. That's a 6.3 percentage point swing. In marketing budget terms, that's a massive shift.

68.3% of companies increased their overall digital marketing budgets, but they're specifically pouring that new money into LinkedIn at a rate 5X higher than Google. This isn't incremental optimization. This is systematic reallocation based on proven ROI. 

But wait, there's more: The brand awareness revolution

Here's where things get really interesting. CMOs aren't just shifting budgets to LinkedIn. They're fundamentally changing how they advertise on the platform.

Campaign objectives focused on brand awareness or engagement jumped from 17.5% to 31.3% of LinkedIn spend. Meanwhile, lead generation objectives plummeted from 53.9% to 39.4%.

But wait, aren't we all supposed to be focused on leads and pipeline?

Here's why this change makes perfect sense: when 92% of buyers start their journey with a vendor already in mind, the battle is won or lost during the brand awareness phase. HubSpot's 2025 State of Marketing Report found that 92% of all marketers plan to maintain or increase their investments in brand awareness in 2025. The smart money knows that direct response lead gen on LinkedIn increasingly captures only in-market buyers who've already formed their preferences.

The real strategic leverage? Top-of-funnel brand investment. Because if you aren’t on that preferred vendor list, your goose is cooked, and you’ve missed out. 

The ROI case that makes CFOs actually happy

Traditional channels are failing and everyone's moving to LinkedIn (like rats deserting a sinking ship). But does LinkedIn actually work?

Here are some numbers that’ll make your CFO's eyes light up.

LinkedIn vs. Google: The head-to-head showdown

Based on analysis of our Factors.ai customer data:

• Median ROAS: LinkedIn 1.8x vs. Google 1.25x (44% advantage for LinkedIn)
• Cost per ICP account engaged: LinkedIn $257 vs. Google $560 (LinkedIn wins at half the cost)
• Cost per qualified meeting: LinkedIn has a 23% cost advantage
• Average Contract Value: LinkedIn-sourced deals close at 28.6% higher ACV

Read that last one again. Not only are you paying less to acquire customers on LinkedIn, but those customers are worth 28.6% more. It’s like ordering a single-scoop ice cream and getting a double-scoop for free, because you know the guy behind the counter. 

The multiplicative effect: LinkedIn makes everything else better

Every cook knows how to make meals taste better. The multiplicative effect in the kitchen is butter. The addition of butter makes everything better. Burnt? Scrape it off and add butter. Flavourless? Stir through some butter. Tastes too healthy? Butter.

LinkedIn is like butter. It takes everything to the next level.

• ICP accounts that saw LinkedIn ads convert from paid search at 46% higher rates (up to 69% higher in top-performing campaigns)
• 43% improvement in meeting-to-deal conversion for SDR outbound when accounts saw LinkedIn ads first
• 112% lift in conversion rates from website content pages for accounts exposed to LinkedIn ads

Think about what this means: LinkedIn isn't just driving direct conversions. It's making your entire marketing stack more effective. Your paid search? Better. Your content marketing? Better. Your SDR team's cold outreach? Suddenly, not so cold anymore. Toasty warm, really.

LinkedIn is not just a brand awareness platform. It’s your full-stack marketing butter. 

The quality advantage: Not all leads are created equal

Let's talk about something that traditional metrics miss: lead quality.

71.9% of B2B marketers agree that leads from LinkedIn ads align more closely with their ICP and are more likely to be senior-level decision-makers compared to other channels. When you can target the actual CFO, VP of IT, and Director of Marketing (not just cross your fingers and hope that your ad reaches them) you fundamentally change the game.

LinkedIn's professional graph gives you access to real buying committees. And with 13 stakeholders involved in the average B2B deal, you need to influence the entire committee, not just your champion. LinkedIn makes that possible at scale.

How to make the shift (without screwing it up)

If you’re ready to take the plunge on LinkedIn, how do you do it? Here's how you can actually execute this budget reallocation without looking like you're panic-pivoting:

1. Start with the brand, not the leads

I know this feels counterintuitive, but trust the data. The top performers are allocating 31.3% of their LinkedIn spend to brand awareness and engagement. This is because 81% of buyers have a preferred vendor before formal evaluation even begins. 

You can't capture demand you didn't create awareness for. Build mental availability with the 95% of your market that's out of market right now, and you'll be on the shortlist when they're ready to buy.

2. Diversify your creative formats

Here's what the smart marketers are doing:

• Video ads: Up from 11.9% to 16.6% of spend (+4.7pp). LinkedIn's platform data shows video gets five times the engagement compared to static posts.
• Document ads: Up from 6.4% to 10.7% of spend (+4.3pp). These enable native content consumption without requiring landing page visits.
• Connected TV: Exploded from 0.5% to 6.3% of spend, a massive 12.6X increase.

Stop putting all your eggs in the single-image ad basket. Diversification is the key.

3. Embrace automated bidding (yes, really)

Automated bidding adoption jumped from 27.6% to 37.5% among bottom-of-funnel campaigns. This signals something important: LinkedIn's algorithms have gotten smart enough that you can trust them.

But here's the critical part: automated bidding only works if you're feeding it quality conversion signals. LinkedIn's Conversions API (CAPI) customers see a 20% reduction in cost per acquisition and a 31% increase in attributed conversions. Set this up before you scale your spend.

4. Think beyond the LinkedIn feed

The best marketers are expanding their LinkedIn presence across multiple touchpoints:

• Offsite delivery: Up from 12.9% to 16.7% of spend
• Connected TV partnerships with Paramount, Roku, and NBCUniversal
• Thought Leader Ads to amplify executive content.

Your buyers aren't just on LinkedIn during work hours. They're at home streaming TV, reading articles, and consuming content across the web. Meet them there with consistent messaging.

5. Measure what actually matters

Stop obsessing over click-through rates and start tracking:

• Cost per ICP account engaged
• Multi-touch attribution across your entire funnel
• Pipeline contribution by channel
• Revenue attribution (not just lead attribution)

In-platform metrics like CTR and CPC don't tell the full story. Funnel benchmarks provide a clearer picture of how LinkedIn ads drive pipeline creation and revenue generation.

The bottom line: Adapt or get left behind

Here's what it comes down to: 56.4% of B2B marketers plan to increase their LinkedIn budgets by more than 10% in 2026. It’s the great migration.

The buyers have changed how they research and purchase. Traditional channels are under pressure. And LinkedIn has evolved from "that place where recruiters and Bitcoin bros spam you" to a sophisticated B2B marketing machine that delivers measurable ROI.

The companies winning in B2B today aren't the ones with the best funnel optimization or the trickiest growth hacks. They're the ones who recognized that the buyer's journey is no longer linear, that brand awareness drives vendor shortlisting, and that being present where decision-makers actually spend their time is worth more than clever conversion rate optimization.

So the question isn't whether you should shift your budget to LinkedIn. The question is: are you going to lead this shift, or are you going to lag while your competitors capture the market?

If you're still allocating less than 30% of your digital budget to LinkedIn while your competitors are at 40%+, you've got work to do. Factors.ai can help. 

Cold outreach is back… like Mario Kart back.

Teams are firing off emails like they just unlocked Rainbow Road, switching domains, dodging spam filters, and hoping their open rates don’t banana-peel themselves into oblivion.

But… here’s what everyone’s thinking (and no one is saying):
Hitting ‘send’ is all about speed… even my 2-year-old nephew can do it. But building revenue is ✨strategy ✨ 

Which is why GTM usually gets narrowed down to two very different players:

Factors.ai… the strategic driver who actually looks at the map, reads the signals, and doesn’t fall off the track every 30 seconds.

‍Instantly.ai… the turbo-boost kart spamming mushrooms to hit as many inboxes as possible.

This blog breaks down what each platform really does, so you don’t choose a speed boost when what you needed was… well, steering.

PS: By the end, you’ll know which one fits your needs, not just your budget (ok, maybe a little bit of that, too).

TL;DR 

• Instantly.ai is built for cold email scale, enabling quick outreach with automated sequences, warm-up tools, and lead enrichment.
• Factors.ai connects your full GTM motion, offering real-time account insights, ad activation, funnel tracking, and multi-touch attribution.
• Instantly focuses on activity metrics like opens and replies, while Factors.ai maps buying signals across the funnel to improve conversion.
• Choose Instantly.ai for speed and simplicity, or Factors.ai for strategy, automation, and scalable revenue operations.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: Intent, Funnel, and Account Scoring

How Factors.ai Handles Intent and Funnel Scoring

Factors.ai turns data into direction.
It doesn’t stop at knowing who visited and helps you understand why they’re engaging and how close they are to buying.

Here’s how it supports the process:

• Tracks multi-source intent, from ads, product, CRM, and website actions.

With Google AdPilot, you can:

• Run campaigns with buyer-stage targeting so each ad matches where the account is in the funnel.
• Send conversion feedback directly to Google Ads for smarter bidding.
• Sync audiences daily and remove irrelevant accounts to keep spend focused.

Why it matters: 

Ad budgets often drain on inactive or unfit accounts. AdPilot changes that by using live intent signals and enrichment to guide who sees what. The result is a connected GTM ecosystem where marketing doesn’t waste and sales always sees movement.

How Instantly.ai Handles Ad Activation and Engagement

Instantly.ai focuses on what it does best: email.
The platform helps teams manage large-scale outreach through multiple inboxes and automated sequences.

Here’s what it offers:

• Personalized email campaigns with unlimited accounts.
• Email warm-up tools to protect deliverability.
• Basic performance insights such as open rates, click rates, and reply tracking.
• Option to connect to LinkedIn Ads using Zapier, though not as a core feature.

While this setup works well for outbound engagement, it doesn’t expand into paid channels or multi-platform targeting.
Instantly.ai’s focus remains on keeping outreach consistent and efficient, rather than aligning ads with broader GTM motions.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: Ad Activation and Engagement in a snapshot

Both tools aim to reach the right audience, but they do it in entirely different ways.

Factors.ai helps teams orchestrate a complete GTM system, turning signals from multiple sources into ad campaigns that convert.

Instantly.ai is built for direct outreach and speed by helping teams scale email campaigns quickly.

If your strategy revolves around outreach volume, Instantly.ai gives you the basics to run fast.

Key reporting areas include:

• Open rate and reply tracking for each sequence.
• Click and bounce-rate monitoring.
• Deliverability analytics for connected inboxes.
• Basic lead-source visibility through website visitor tracking.

It’s enough for teams running high-volume campaigns who need daily performance metrics.
However, it doesn’t track how engagement translates into deals or pipeline.

Factors vs Instantly.ai: Analytics, Reporting, and Funnel Insights in a snapshot

Both tools offer valuable insights, but their goals are different.

Factors.ai gives you the bigger picture by showing what’s working, what isn’t, and how every effort ties back to pipeline growth.

Instantly.ai helps you stay efficient with campaign-level analytics for cold outreach.

If you want to monitor email engagement, Instantly.ai keeps it simple… but if you want to understand and improve the entire revenue journey, Factors.ai gives you the clarity and control to do it.

What you get:

• Guided onboarding screens that walk you through setup.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: Onboarding and Support in a snapshot

Both tools offer strong support, but the experience feels different depending on your team’s size and style.

Factors.ai offers a more hands-on, consultative experience which is ideal for GTM teams that value strategy, precision, and collaboration.

Instantly.ai makes it easy for anyone to start fast and learn as they go. It’s built for users who want a self-serve, low-touch approach.

If you’re looking for a quick setup, Instantly.ai fits right in.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: Security and Compliance

How Factors.ai Handles Security and Compliance

Factors.ai prioritizes security at every stage of the GTM process.
From intent data to customer analytics, every piece of information stays protected under verified frameworks.

Security highlights:

• Certified with ISO 27001 and SOC II Type 2, ensuring high-level operational and data security standards.
• Fully GDPR and CCPA compliant, meaning user data is handled lawfully and transparently.
• Encryption in storage and transit, protecting information from unauthorized access.
• Access control and audit trails for all internal and client accounts.
• Regular compliance audits and clearly published documentation.

For enterprise clients, this provides a sense of reliability that every process is built on privacy and security.

How Instantly.ai Handles Security and Compliance

Instantly.ai takes a simpler approach. It manages customer data responsibly but doesn’t highlight deep compliance details or certifications on its website.

What’s available:

• A general privacy policy covering how user data is collected, stored, and used.
• Basic access control for team members and shared accounts.
• Secure hosting on recognized cloud providers.

For small and mid-sized businesses focused on cold outreach, this level of protection works fine. However, large enterprises with strict compliance requirements might find the lack of public documentation limiting.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: What to choose when?

Both platforms treat user data with care, but their approaches differ in depth.

Factors.ai operates at a higher standard, meeting the security expectations of enterprise-grade clients and regulated industries.

Instantly.ai provides the essential layer of privacy control suitable for fast-moving sales teams.

If you need lightweight data protection for outreach, Instantly.ai holds up.

If your organization needs verified certifications, global compliance, and transparent handling, Factors.ai is the safer long-term bet.

If compliance matters, we explain visitor privacy best practices in website visitor identification privacy, which is handy for outreach teams using pixels.

Factors.ai vs Instantly.ai: Which Platform Fits Your GTM Motion Best

When you look at both platforms side by side, it’s clear they aim to solve different parts of the GTM puzzle.

Factors.ai, on the other hand, builds around precision by connecting data, intent, and automation to help teams understand where growth really comes from.

Instantly.ai builds around speed and volume by helping teams send more emails, track replies, and find quick opportunities.

Both approaches have their place. The right one depends on how your team works and what success looks like for you.

It gives you:

• A fast way to identify website visitors and turn them into email prospects.

It’s simple, efficient, and designed for teams that want to act immediately.
If your focus is on direct, high-volume outreach rather than long-term orchestration, it’s a good place to start.

• A growing GTM team that wants one system for analytics, orchestration, and activation, Factors.ai gives you the foundation to scale confidently.
• A lean sales team looking for outreach tools and quick results, Instantly.ai keeps things simple.

In short, both tools help you move forward, but they do it at different speeds and depths.

One helps you start fast.

The other helps you go far.

In a nutshell…

Its approach is not just to track activity, but to turn signals into synchronized marketing and sales execution.

At some point in every GTM team’s life, the ads stop ‘ad-ing’...

Okay, let me zoom in to this exact scenario: you’re pumping budget into campaigns, your targeting looks right, your retargeting is retarget-ing… and still, pipeline feels like that one colleague who shows up TWO hours late with a matcha, zero explanation, and a smug smile.

So naturally, the question becomes:
“Is our execution broken, or is our system holding us back? Or is the world just ending?”

And that’s usually when three names enter the chat: Factors.ai, RollWorks (AdRoll ABM), and the Lord.

On the surface, both (minus the Lord) claim to do the same thing: help B2B teams capture intent, run ABM programs, and reach the right accounts.

But anyone who’s actually run a GTM motion knows that the similarity stops at the homepage hero banner.

Factors.ai is built like a GTM command center. It pulls signals from every corner of your funnel, connects the dots, and helps teams act on the exact moments that move deals forward.

RollWorks is built like it wants your brand everywhere your buyers hang out… and gives you the knobs, switches, and dashboards to make that happen.

One platform optimizes reach; the other prioritizes revenue.

If your team is evaluating which platform fits your goals, this comparison breaks down how both stack up on features, pricing, analytics, activation, automation, and long-term growth.

Let’s get straiiight into it.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks: Functionality & Core Difference

When teams compare Factors.ai and RollWorks (AdRoll ABM), the first thing that stands out is how differently both define go-to-market success.
At a glance, they seem similar as both talk about accounts, ads, and pipeline. But what they focus on day to day tells two different stories.

Factors.ai is built around orchestration. It doesn’t stop at visibility. It brings together intent signals, journey tracking, and automation so GTM teams can connect every stage of the funnel, from who’s showing interest to what’s driving revenue.

RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) is built around advertising. It helps marketing teams find and reach target accounts across display, LinkedIn, and web ads. Everything in RollWorks connects back to visibility, showing your brand in front of the right buyers and measuring how that reach turns into engagement.

In short, RollWorks helps you reach the right people. Factors.ai helps you move them through the funnel.

What Factors.ai Brings to the Table

Factors.ai acts like a full GTM engine. Instead of stopping at advertising or audience building, it connects data across channels, showing which accounts are active, which ones are heating up, and how each interaction drives revenue.

Core strengths:

• Multi-source intent signals from web, CRM, ads, and G2
• Account360 + Customer Journey timelines that show every action chronologically
• AI agents for account research, scoring, buying-group mapping, and alerts
• Real-time audience sync across LinkedIn and Google Ads
• Funnel analytics with Milestones to track MQL to revenue progression
• Optional GTM engineering services for setup and optimization

Teams use Factors.ai when they want one system to handle everything from detection to activation.

What RollWorks brings to the table

RollWorks keeps its focus tight on ABM and advertising.

It helps teams find the right accounts, run campaigns across channels, and measure lift, essentially acting as a unified ad control center for B2B.

Core strengths:

• Account identification using website traffic and intent partners
• Multi-channel campaign activation (LinkedIn, web, display)
• Account scoring and prioritization to rank targets
• Offers a native G2 Buyer Intent integration
• Reporting that connects ad exposure to pipeline lift

For teams that live in advertising dashboards and need to prove ad performance, RollWorks provides a straightforward way to tie spend to reach and engagement.

Factors.ai vs RollWords: Core difference in a snapshot

If your GTM strategy centers on ads and account reach, RollWorks makes it easy to identify and engage target audiences.

If your GTM motion covers signals, scoring, orchestration, and analytics, Factors.ai goes further, helping teams build a connected, measurable system around every buyer touchpoint.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Pricing

Pricing in GTM tools is often the first filter teams look at, but what really matters is what you unlock at each level.

Some platforms charge for reach and ad volume, others for depth and orchestration.
RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) and Factors.ai fall into those two different camps.

Let’s look at how the models work and what each one is built to deliver.

Factors.ai Pricing

Factors.ai is designed to grow alongside your GTM maturity.

It starts simple by identifying companies and tracking journeys and expands into complete orchestration and analytics as your pipeline scales.

Plans include:

Free Plan

• Identify up to 200 companies per month
• 3 seats included
• Basic dashboards, visitor tracking, and Slack integration

Basic Plan

• Identify 3,000 companies per month
• 5 seats included
• Adds LinkedIn intent signals, GTM dashboards, and integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Search Console)

Growth Plan

• 10 seats included
• Adds ABM analytics, account scoring, workflow automation, and a dedicated CSM

Enterprise Plan

Optional GTM Engineering Services

For teams without in-house RevOps, Factors.ai offers an optional services layer, it includes:

• Custom ICP modeling and GTM playbook design
• Setup of enrichment, alert, and ad activation workflows
• SDR enablement with post-meeting alerts and buying group mapping
• Ongoing review and optimization of GTM performance

This helps teams operationalize faster and keep systems running smoothly without relying heavily on internal tech resources.

RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) Pricing

RollWorks doesn’t publish standard plans.

Pricing is custom and quote-based, typically structured around ad spend, account volume, and selected features.

Costs can vary depending on:

• Monthly ad budget and channels (LinkedIn, display, web retargeting)
• Number of accounts targeted and campaign types
• Feature access, such as G2 intent integration or advanced attribution
• Support level under the broader NextRoll/AdRoll ecosystem

Most RollWorks users report that pricing grows with ad volume rather than team size.
This means smaller GTM teams may find it accessible initially, but scaling ad reach quickly increases total spend.

Factors.ai vs Rollworks: Pricing in a snapshot

Factors.ai gives teams a tiered path to scale their GTM system. It adds automation, analytics, and orchestration features as your pipeline grows, without depending on ad budgets.

RollWorks, meanwhile, works best for teams that live in advertising dashboards and are comfortable managing spend directly through campaigns. Its value ties closely to ad volume and engagement reach.

If your goal is to maximize ad reach with flexible spend, RollWorks fits that model.

If you’re looking for predictable growth and full-funnel control, Factors.ai provides clearer long-term value.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Account Identification & Intent Signals

Every GTM platform talks about “intent,” but how they capture and use it makes all the difference.

Some tools focus on visibility like finding who’s engaging and where. Others go a step further combining multiple intent sources to show why that account is ready to buy and what stage of the funnel they’re in.

That’s exactly where Factors.ai and RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) start to differ.

How Factors.ai manages Account Identification & Intent Signals

Factors.ai’s identification process focuses on context, not just visibility.
It connects multiple data sources like your website, CRM, product, and ad campaigns into one unified Account 360 view.

How it works:

• Sequential enrichment ensures coverage of up to 75% of website visitors.
• AI Agents map and score accounts by ICP fit, activity level, and funnel position.
• Milestones show when an account transitions from awareness to readiness, based on key triggers like pricing page visits or repeat demo interactions.
• G2 intent is layered in to highlight buying-stage behaviors, such as competitor research or category comparisons.

This gives GTM teams a clear answer to three questions:
Who’s showing intent? What’s driving it? And what should we do next?

How RollWorks manages Account Identification & Intent Signals

RollWorks focuses more on signal detection and ad targeting.

It uses its own tracking system to identify accounts visiting your website and combines that with intent data from third-party partners and G2.

How it works:

• Tracks on-site behavior like page views and form fills.
• Merges it with intent topics from external providers.
• Builds audience lists around those accounts to activate ad campaigns.
• Uses G2 data to add an extra layer of validation for targeting precision.

The intent layer in RollWorks mainly serves to power audience expansion and ad efficiency, helping you direct ad budgets toward accounts that are already showing interest.

Verdict on Intent Capabilities

Both platforms detect and use intent, but for different outcomes.

• Factors.ai turns intent into action, using it to decide what to do next.
• RollWorks turns intent into ad reach, using it to decide who to target.

If your goal is to refine ad audiences and improve reach, RollWorks does it well.

If your goal is to understand buyer readiness, prioritize outreach, and align teams around real engagement, Factors.ai goes deeper.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Customer Journey & Scoring

Understanding intent is one thing, but turning that intent into a clear buyer journey and measurable funnel progression is what separates a marketing platform from a real GTM system.

Both Factors.ai and RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) offer ways to visualize engagement and score accounts, but the depth and purpose of that data differ.

Factors.ai builds a continuous, stage-based view of every account, showing where they stand and what action is driving them forward.

RollWorks focuses on identifying engagement spikes for campaign targeting.

How Factors.ai Tracks the Customer Journey and Scoring

Factors.ai’s journey tracking is built around its Account 360 system.

Instead of showing isolated metrics, it aligns every touchpoint, from a first ad click to CRM updates and product logins, into one continuous narrative.

How it works:

• Every company visit, campaign interaction, and sales touch gets added to a chronological timeline.
• Milestones categorize actions by funnel stage (awareness, interest, decision, conversion).
• Scores are automatically updated based on behavior intensity and recency.
• These insights trigger alerts for SDRs and marketers, so follow-ups always happen at the right time.

It gives teams visibility along with the clarity on why an account is active and what it’s ready for next.

How RollWorks Tracks the Customer Journey and Scoring

RollWorks focuses on audience activity rather than full-funnel tracking.
Its account timelines show ad impressions, clicks, and website visits, giving marketing teams a quick sense of which accounts are interacting most.

How it works:

• Each account is assigned a score based on ad interactions and engagement history.
• The system updates those lists automatically for ongoing campaigns.
• Marketers can export prioritized account lists to run focused outreach.

While useful for ad-level optimization, this view is more campaign-centric than funnel-centric.
It helps teams adjust ads and segments, but not necessarily connect actions to revenue outcomes.

Factors.ai vs Rollworks: Customer journey & scoring in a snapshot

If your priority is to visualize who’s engaging and how often, RollWorks provides a clear top-of-funnel picture that works well for ad-driven GTM teams.

If you want to map the entire buying path and measure what moves accounts forward, Factors.ai gives that full-funnel clarity, turning data into direction.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Ad Activation & Audience Targeting

Reaching the right account at the right moment is where GTM and advertising finally meet.
Both RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) and Factors.ai help teams act on intent signals, but they do it in very different ways.

RollWorks leans toward ad-driven ABM, while Factors.ai focuses on dynamic orchestration across ad platforms and funnel stages.

Let’s see how both handle ad activation and audience targeting.

How Factors.ai manages Ad Activation & Audience Targeting

Factors.ai treats ad activation as a natural extension of GTM orchestration.

Instead of running ads in isolation, it connects engagement data, funnel stages, and account readiness into how ads are shown and who sees them.

How it works:

• Dynamic Audience Sync: Automatically updates audiences in LinkedIn and Google based on live signals from website, CRM, and product.
• Google CAPI: Sends enriched conversion signals, helping Google optimize ad delivery for high-value accounts.
• Buyer-Stage Campaigns: Delivers personalized ad sequences depending on whether an account is in awareness, evaluation, or decision stage.
• Budget Efficiency: Continuous refresh keeps campaigns from overserving cold accounts and ensures ad spend stays focused on those ready to engage.

This way, every ad aligns with where an account stands, making awareness more meaningful and conversion faster.

How RollWorks manages Ad Activation & Audience Targeting

RollWorks was built from the ground up for account-based advertising.

It simplifies ad targeting by allowing teams to upload account lists or use RollWorks-identified audiences directly in ad campaigns.

How it works:

• Native Ad Integrations: Pushes lists to LinkedIn Campaign Manager and other ad networks.
• Audience Expansion: Uses 3rd-party intent data to find similar accounts and increase reach.
• Campaign Reporting: Tracks ad impressions, clicks, and conversions tied to target accounts.
• Retargeting: Offers retargeting across web and social channels to keep your brand in front of active prospects.

While it gives solid control over ad visibility and reach, the workflow stays within the advertising ecosystem.

It’s built for scale, not necessarily for connecting every engagement back to the sales motion.

Factors.ai vs Rollworks: Ad activation & audience targeting in a snapshot

If your GTM team is focused on maximizing ad exposure and reach, RollWorks delivers with its ad-first design and strong retargeting capabilities.

If your goal is to make ads part of a larger GTM system, where campaigns respond to live signals and feed back into analytics, Factors.ai gives you that agility and clarity.

RollWorks focuses on reach; Factors.ai focuses on relevance.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): AI Agents & GTM Engineering

This is where automation becomes the real differentiator.

While many platforms talk about “AI-powered” insights, only a few actually use AI to run tasks your team would typically handle manually, like researching accounts, mapping buying groups, or sending alerts when deals heat up.

In this area, Factors.ai takes a clear lead.

RollWorks (AdRoll ABM), while strong in ads and ABM targeting, doesn’t yet extend AI capabilities into workflow automation or GTM execution.

How Factors.ai Uses AI Agents & GTM Engineering

Factors.ai doesn’t limit AI to analytics and builds it into how teams actually work.
The platform’s agents are trained to take real actions across your funnel instead of just surfacing insights.

Here’s what they do:

• Real-Time Alerts: Let your team know when a high-intent action happens, like someone revisiting your pricing page or watching a demo again.
• Buying Group Mapping: Finds additional decision-makers linked to your top accounts, helping reps connect faster.
• Account Research: Summarizes account activity, recent signals, and ICP fit so SDRs always know where to focus.
• Closed-Lost Deal Revival: Flags reactivated accounts and suggests personalized re-entry points.
• Post-Meeting Tracking: Watches follow-up behavior to ensure warm leads don’t go cold after demos.

Together, these agents act as an always-on GTM assistant, helping teams stay proactive instead of reactive.

How RollWorks Uses AI Agents & GTM Engineering

RollWorks doesn’t currently offer native AI agents or a GTM engineering equivalent.
Its automation revolves around ad management and audience refreshes, not end-to-end workflow execution.

You can:

• Receive email or CRM-based alerts when account engagement spikes.
• Automate audience updates for ad targeting.
• Sync account activity into your CRM for tracking and reporting.

These features help maintain campaign efficiency but don’t automate the deeper operational side of GTM like lead scoring, enrichment, or multi-threaded outreach.

Factors.ai vs Rollworks: AI agents and GTM engineering in a snapshot

If your team’s workflow relies heavily on advertising and audience targeting, RollWorks provides what you need to keep campaigns running smoothly.
But if you want your GTM motion to run like a well-oiled system, where AI actually supports sales and marketing with live insights, alerts, and workflow execution, Factors.ai is built for that.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Analytics & Reporting

Every GTM team wants to know one thing: what’s actually working?
But answering that question depends on how deeply your analytics can connect marketing activity, engagement, and revenue.

Both RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) and Factors.ai offer visibility into performance, but the kind of insights they deliver are very different.

RollWorks gives you a clear view of ad reach and campaign lift.

Factors.ai connects every touchpoint, from ads to CRM, to show how each move shapes your pipeline.

How Factors.ai Tracks Analytics and does Reporting

Factors.ai was built to connect marketing, sales, and product touchpoints into one flow.
It reports activity while also helping teams understand how each action contributes to revenue.

Key analytics layers include:

• Multi-Touch Attribution: Tracks how accounts move from first click to deal closure.
• Milestones: Helps diagnose where leads convert or drop off in the funnel.
• Account360 View: Combines ad, web, CRM, and product data to tell the full story of each account’s journey.
• Segmentation Reports: Compare performance across industries, regions, or campaign types.
• AI Highlights: Agents flag insights like sudden drop-offs or accounts showing faster progression than average.

This means your analytics go beyond “what happened” and start answering “why it happened,” helping teams double down on what’s working and fix what’s not.

How RollWorks Tracks Analytics and does Reporting

RollWorks’ analytics stay closely tied to advertising performance.
It helps teams understand how ad campaigns are performing in terms of visibility and engagement, but the insights stop at the top of the funnel.

Here’s what you get:

• Ad and Campaign Metrics: Track impressions, clicks, and conversions.
• Audience Lift Reports: Show which segments are responding best to campaigns.
• Engagement Scoring: Highlights the most active accounts based on ad interactions.
• Pipeline Influence Metrics: Estimates how ad exposure correlates with pipeline movement.

While these reports give a solid sense of campaign effectiveness, they’re primarily designed for ad teams rather than full GTM teams looking to connect marketing actions to revenue outcomes.

Factors.ai vs Rollwords: Analytics and reporting in a snapshot

If your focus is ad optimization like improving click-through rates, reach, and awareness, RollWorks gives you that precision.

But if your team needs a single system that shows how engagement translates into qualified opportunities and revenue, Factors.ai gives you that full-funnel clarity.

RollWorks reports performance, and Factors.ai proves impact.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Onboarding & Support

A GTM tool is only as good as how quickly your team can put it to work.

You can have the best platform in the world, but without the right setup and ongoing guidance, it’ll stay underused.

That’s where onboarding and support come in, and Factors.ai and RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) take two very different routes here.

RollWorks offers a structured onboarding program through its parent company, AdRoll… while Factors.ai provides a more personal, partnership-driven approach with its own GTM experts.

How Factors.ai Onboards Clients and Handles Support

Factors.ai approaches onboarding like a partnership rather than a handoff.
The goal is not just to help teams get started but to help them operationalize GTM workflows that actually drive pipeline.

Here’s how onboarding typically flows:

• A dedicated CSM and GTM engineer align the setup to your ICP, funnel stages, and internal tools.
• All communication happens through a shared Slack channel, so your team gets quick responses and ongoing feedback.
• Weekly strategy sessions are held to review adoption, troubleshoot workflows, and suggest new plays based on data.
• Optional GTM Engineering Services add another layer of support for RevOps, enrichment setup, and continuous optimization.

The result is that setup doesn’t end when the dashboard goes live as the platform evolves alongside your GTM motion.

How RollWorks Onboards Clients and Handles Support

RollWorks takes a more traditional onboarding route. Since it’s part of AdRoll’s larger ecosystem, teams are onboarded through structured success programs.

What you get:

• Guided onboarding led by a Success Manager.
• Email support and help documentation for self-service needs.
• Regular check-ins to ensure campaign setup and account health.
• Assistance focused mainly on ad activation, audience segmentation, and campaign reporting.

This setup works well for marketing teams focused on ad campaigns and top-of-funnel performance.
However, it’s less hands-on when it comes to GTM workflow design or multi-channel alignment.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks: Onboarding and support in a snapshot

If your team needs ad-level support with clear steps and limited setup time, RollWorks provides a straightforward process.

But if you’re looking for a more collaborative setup, one where the platform grows with your GTM motion and has dedicated experts helping you optimize every step, Factors.ai brings more depth and consistency.

RollWorks supports your ads, and Factors.ai supports your system.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks (AdRoll ABM): Compliance & Security

When GTM data includes website visitors, CRM records, and product usage, compliance becomes a necessity.

Modern GTM and ABM teams work with sensitive information every day, and how a platform handles that data decides whether it can scale across larger enterprises.

RollWorks (AdRoll ABM) and Factors.ai both address security, but the depth and transparency of their compliance frameworks are not on the same level.

RollWorks inherits security practices from its parent company, AdRoll, while Factors.ai has built compliance into its foundation with certifications and audit-backed systems.

How Factors.ai Handles Compliance and Security

Factors.ai takes a proactive approach to compliance and data protection.
The platform is built to meet global standards and undergoes external audits to ensure the highest levels of data integrity.

Key highlights:

• SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified: Ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
• GDPR and CCPA compliant: Protects user and customer data under EU and California regulations.
• Privacy-First Enrichment: Uses verified data sources without relying on invasive fingerprinting methods.
• Signed DPAs: Available for all enterprise clients that require legal validation of data handling.

This makes Factors.ai enterprise-ready from day one, enabling faster procurement approvals and smoother security reviews, especially for teams selling into regulated sectors.

How RollWorks Handles Compliance and Security

RollWorks operates under NextRoll’s broader compliance framework.

While this provides a strong security foundation, the details specific to RollWorks aren’t as openly documented.

What’s available:

• GDPR and CCPA compliance through NextRoll’s privacy center.
• Data collection policies outlining how user data is processed for ad targeting.
• Encryption and access control at the infrastructure level.

However, certifications like SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 are not explicitly listed under the RollWorks brand, and most compliance details are shared under the parent company’s name.

That means enterprise teams may need additional documentation or approvals when going through vendor security checks.

Factors.ai vs RollWorks: Compliance and security in a snapshot

Both platforms maintain data security and privacy standards, but Factors.ai brings more clarity and confidence for enterprise GTM teams.
Its certifications, transparent documentation, and privacy-first enrichment make it a safer choice for organizations that handle large volumes of customer data.

RollWorks covers the basics well under its parent framework but lacks the same level of independence and visibility.

We all agree with the American author, Jeffrey Gitomer when says, “Quality performance starts with a great attitude”. But is that enough when it comes to sales? Unfortunately, not! But guess what, we get it — the sales journey can often feel like a rollercoaster ride, with peaks of triumphs and some valleys of challenges. But we’ve got you this toolkit with 30 sales tactics that will equip you to build better relationships with potential clients and arm you to turn challenging sales pitches into stepping stones for your success.

So, without much ado, let’s get started. Here are 30 sales tactics to drive more deals in 2025:

1. Benefits-Oriented Sales Pitches

Focus on emphasizing the benefits or value your product or service brings to the table rather than solely highlighting its features during sales pitches. By highlighting how your solution addresses specific pain points and improves outcomes, you can resonate more deeply with customer’s use-cases and pain-points.

Why will this technique work?

Prospects are ultimately interested in how a product or service can solve their problems and improve their situation. By prioritizing benefits over features, salespeople can effectively communicate the value proposition and relevance of their offering to the prospect's needs.

Rather than inundating prospects with technical specifications, paint a vivid picture of how your solution streamlines processes and boosts efficiency. For instance, illustrate how your software eliminates repetitive tasks, saving time and resources, thus making the work lives of your clients easier and more productive.

2. Offer Freemiums or Complimentary Trials and Demos

Provide prospects with the opportunity to experience your product through free trials or demos.

Why will this technique work?

Providing freemium or trial versions allows prospects to experience your product firsthand. By allowing hands-on exploration, salespersons can showcase the product's value and functionality, making it more enticing for prospects to convert.

A software company could offer a 14-day free trial, allowing potential clients to explore features before committing. Offer free trials or demos to give potential clients a hands-on experience with your product. For Example:, a software company could provide a 14-day free trial, allowing prospects to explore features and experience the value firsthand before committing.

3. Leveraging Email Automation and CRM Tools for Efficiency

Leverage email automation tools and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software to streamline prospecting and lead nurturing processes. By automating repetitive tasks and centralizing customer data, sales teams can work more efficiently and effectively to manage their interactions with prospects.

Why will this technique work?

Automation reduces manual workload, allowing sales teams to focus more on building relationships and closing deals. Integration with CRM systems ensures that all interactions with prospects are tracked and managed systematically, leading to improved organization and follow-up

4. Creating Urgency with Limited-time Offers

Employ limited-time offers to create a sense of urgency and prompt prospects to make a decision sooner rather than later. Whether it's a discount, bonus feature, or extended trial period, limited-time offers can push prospects towards a purchasing decision.

Why will this technique work?

Limited-time offers trigger the fear of missing out (FOMO) in prospects, compelling them to act quickly to take advantage of the offer before it expires. By introducing urgency, salespeople can expedite the decision-making process and increase conversion rates.

A limited time seasonal offer, for example, encourages customers to follow through with the purchase decisions, even in periods of relatively low engagement such as the holidays.

5. Establishing Authority through Thought Leadership

Position yourself or your company as an authority in the industry by sharing valuable insights, expertise, and knowledge through thought leadership content. This could include blog posts, whitepapers, webinars, or speaking engagements at industry events.

Why will this technique work?

Prospects are more likely to trust and engage with salespeople who demonstrate a deep understanding of their industry and offer valuable insights. By establishing authority through thought leadership, salespeople can build credibility and trust, making it easier to convert prospects into customers. Publish a series of blog posts or articles addressing common challenges or trends in your industry, providing actionable advice and solutions. Share these resources with prospects to showcase your expertise and differentiate yourself from

6. Developing Interactive Content for Engagement and Data Collection

Create interactive content, such as quizzes, assessments, or webinars, to engage prospects and gather valuable data. Interactive content not only captures attention but also provides insights into prospects' preferences and behavior.

Why will this technique work?

Interactive content is more engaging and memorable than traditional forms of content, making it an effective tool for capturing and retaining prospects' attention. Additionally, the data collected from interactive content can be used to personalize future interactions and tailor your offerings to meet prospects' needs.

Develop an interactive quiz related to your industry or target audience's interests. Not only does this capture leads' attention, but it also provides valuable data on their preferences and pain points. This doesn’t always have to be boring sales enablement. For example, here’s a fun interactive spin off of Wordle by Descope, an authentication platform:

7. Utilizing Referral Programs

Implement referral programs to leverage the trust existing clients have within their network. By incentivizing clients to refer to new business, you can tap into their credibility and expand your customer base through word-of-mouth marketing.

Why will this technique work?

Referral programs capitalize on the existing relationships and trust that clients have with their network. People are more likely to trust recommendations from friends or colleagues, making referral programs an effective way to acquire new customers.

Offer incentives, such as discounts or rewards, to clients who refer new business to you. By turning satisfied clients into advocates, you create a win-win situation where both parties benefit. HubSpot, for examples, runs a robust referral program by encouraging authors to monetise their existing content

8. Implementing Cross-Sell and Upsell Strategies

Identify opportunities to cross-sell or upsell to existing clients to maximize profitability and deepen your relationship with them. By offering additional products or services that complement their existing purchases, you can increase the lifetime value of each client.

Why will this technique work?

Existing clients are already familiar with your brand and have demonstrated trust by making a purchase. By presenting relevant cross-sell or upsell opportunities, you can leverage this trust and provide additional value to your clients while boosting your revenue. A SaaS provider could offer advanced features or premium packages to current users, enhancing their overall experience and addressing additional needs they may have. Identify complementary products or services that align with your clients' existing purchases and present them as value-added propositions.

9. Nurturing Cold Leads with Informative Content

Nurture cold leads with informative content to keep your brand top-of-mind and gradually warm them up to your offerings. By providing valuable insights and resources, you can build credibility, establish trust, and increase the likelihood of conversion.

Why will this technique work?

Cold leads may not be ready to make a purchasing decision immediately, but by consistently providing them with valuable content, you can keep them engaged and build a relationship over time. This increases the chances of converting them into warm leads and eventually customers. Send regular newsletters containing industry insights, success stories, and relevant content to your cold leads. 

10. Gamify Sales Incentives

Enhance motivation and a competitive spirit within your sales team by introducing gamification elements into your sales incentives. By incorporating game-like features, such as challenges, rewards, and leaderboards, you can make the sales process more engaging and enjoyable for your team members.

Why Will This Technique Work?

Gamification taps into intrinsic human desires for achievement, recognition, and competition. By infusing the sales process with elements of fun and competition, you can boost morale, increase productivity, and foster a sense of camaraderie among team members. Additionally, gamification provides clear goals and feedback mechanisms, helping salespeople track their progress and stay motivated to perform at their best. 

For example, Implement a sales leaderboard that dynamically tracks individual and team achievements in real-time. Recognize top performers with rewards, incentives, or badges to incentivize healthy competition and encourage continuous improvement. Additionally, incorporate interactive challenges or quizzes into sales training sessions to make learning more engaging and memorable for your team members. By leveraging gamification, you can create a positive and motivating sales culture that drives results and promotes collaboration.

11. Harness the Power of AI and Workflow Automations

When it comes to modern sales, AI and workflow automations stand as stalwart allies, streamlining processes and supercharging productivity. From intelligent lead scoring to automated follow-ups, leverage AI tools to identify high-value prospects, predict their needs, and deliver personalized interactions at scale.

Why will this technique work?

AI and workflow automations enhance sales efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, allowing sales teams to focus on high-value activities. The predictive capabilities of AI help identify promising leads, increasing the likelihood of successful conversions. Warmly is a great example of an AI-fuelled sales orchestration platform.

12. Master the Art of Negative Reverse Selling

Flip the script on traditional selling techniques with negative reverse selling. Instead of pushing the benefits of your product, uncover pain points and challenges your prospects are facing. By addressing their concerns head-on, you position yourself as a problem solver, fostering trust and paving the way for a smoother sales journey.

Why will this technique work?

Negative reverse selling works by addressing customer concerns upfront, building trust through transparency. By acknowledging challenges and proposing solutions, salespersons position themselves as problem solvers rather than mere product pushers. Instead of promoting product features, a salesperson starts a conversation by acknowledging common pain points faced by prospects. This honesty creates a connection, and the subsequent discussion revolves around solutions tailored to the prospect's needs.

13. Retarget Website Visitors Strategically

Don't let valuable website visitors slip through the cracks. Implement strategic retargeting campaigns to re-engage potential leads. Use personalized content and incentives to reignite interest and guide them back into your sales funnel, increasing the likelihood of conversion.

Why will this technique work?

Strategic retargeting keeps your brand top of mind, re-engaging visitors who showed initial interest. By delivering personalized content based on their previous interactions, you stay relevant and increase the chances of conversion. For example, a prospect visits your website, explores specific product pages, but leaves without making a purchase. Through strategic retargeting ads on various platforms, they encounter tailored content, such as a limited-time discount, prompting them to revisit and complete the purchase.

14. Craft Personalized Warm Outreach Based on Historical Engagement

Harness the wealth of data at your disposal to craft warm outreach messages tailored to your prospect's historical engagement. Reference specific interactions, highlight relevant content, and demonstrate a genuine understanding of their needs. Personalization is the key to making a lasting impression.

Why will this technique work?

Personalized outreach builds on the prospect's history, creating a connection and showing genuine interest. By referencing past interactions and aligning messages with their preferences, salespersons establish rapport and trust. A prospect who frequently engages with your email newsletters receives a personalized outreach email.

Provide comprehensive training to your sales team on the principles of the challenger sale methodology.

18. Employ the Foot-in-the-Door Technique

Why will this technique work?

The Foot-in-the-Door technique starts with a small request, creating a sense of commitment. Once a prospect agrees to a small ask, they are more likely to comply with larger requests, gradually building a positive relationship.

Once they've engaged positively, follow up with more significant requests, such as a product trial or in-depth consultation.

Clearly communicate pricing structures, making it easy for prospects to understand the value they receive in exchange for their investment. Transparent pricing fosters trust, reduces uncertainty, and streamlines the decision-making process.

Why will this technique work?

Transparent pricing eliminates ambiguity and instills confidence in prospects by demonstrating honesty and integrity. When prospects have a clear understanding of the costs involved, they are more likely to perceive your offering as fair and trustworthy, leading to increased conversions and customer satisfaction.

Display pricing information prominently on your website, providing detailed breakdowns of features and corresponding costs. Offer transparent explanations for any additional fees or charges, ensuring that prospects have all the information they need to make an informed decision.

Why will this technique work?

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, consumers expect instant responses and personalized interactions. Live chat enables you to meet these expectations by offering real-time assistance, which can significantly improve customer satisfaction, reduce bounce rates, and increase conversion rates.

Embed a live chat widget on key pages of your website, such as product pages or pricing pages, to proactively engage with visitors.

Whether it's a personalized introduction, a product demonstration, or a follow-up message, incorporating video into your outreach can significantly enhance its impact and effectiveness.

28. Transactions with Blockchain Integration

Integrate blockchain technology to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of transactions. In industries where trust and integrity are paramount, blockchain provides a decentralized and immutable ledger that ensures the integrity of data and transactions. By leveraging blockchain technology, you can instill confidence in your prospects and facilitate smoother and more trustworthy transactions.

Why will this technique work?

Blockchain offers several benefits, including enhanced security, transparency, and traceability, which are highly valued in industries such as finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. By incorporating blockchain into your transactions, you can mitigate risks associated with fraud, tampering, and data manipulation, thereby building trust and credibility with your prospects.

For example, implement blockchain-based solutions such as smart contracts or distributed ledger technology (DLT) to automate and secure transactions. Showcase the benefits of blockchain integration, such as improved transparency, reduced costs, and increased efficiency, to prospects. By demonstrating your commitment to integrity and security, you can differentiate your offering and attract prospects who prioritize trust and reliability.

Why will this technique work?

Exit-intent pop-ups leverage the principle of reciprocity, where visitors feel inclined to reciprocate when offered something of value.
