2. “Business marketing has changed radically in recent years. As
buyers do more research on the Internet, they interact with sales
people less often and later in the selection process.
This has made marketers increasingly responsible for attracting
new customers and providing them with information.
At the same time, marketers face pressures to deploy new
techniques, control costs, and prove out the value of their
efforts.”
