What Are The Most Effective Steps to Deploying an Effective B2B Growth Strategy?
According to a recent survey by InsideView of sales and marketing leaders, 53% of companies do not regularly assess their target market, and 25% have sales and marketing departments that don’t completely agree on their target markets
B2B companies that do the research of their Total Addressable Market (TAM) and align their sales and marketing efforts are 3.3 times more likely to exceed revenue goals And the B2B companies that target the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) are 5.3 times more likely to exceed revenue goals

According to InsideView, by answering these three questions, smart B2B companies are unleashing their revenue growth:
- Who are my best customers?
- What are the new geographies and industries where I can expand?
- Are we going after the right customers and the right revenue?
This is a major reason why account-based marketing has exploded in popularity amongst B2B companies. B2B companies have always researched and targeted great prospective clients – but these platforms enable their ability to score, track, market, and close those engagements more efficiently and effectively.

Business strategy shouldn’t be based on gut and guessing. And it shouldn’t require cumbersome data analysis. InsideView Apex uses cutting-edge technology and the best possible data so you can make the right decisions for your business. said Umberto Milletti, CEO of InsideView
