The Power of Micro-Sites for Outbound
It's no secret that deal cycles are getting longer. And part of the reason is that the seller hasn't adapted to the changes of the modern-day buyer. In this new era of outbound sellers should be helping buyers make sense of the information they have. Someone who's understood this shift is Rory Sadler, CEO at Trumpet. He explains how microsites or 'pods' are helping to facilitate these changes.
