Six truths BtoB marketers must accept to be successful with marketing automation:
1. Marketing automation requires developing a strong process and filling marketing skills gaps.
2. Process is key - marketers must define stages of the marketing funnel and how leads will be nurtured.
3. The buying process has changed - buyers do extensive research online before engaging with sales.
4. Content is important to support buyers at each stage and overcome their objections.
5. Lead nurturing provides value to prospects and drives greater conversion than just generating leads.
6. Marketers may lack skills for deep use of automation and will need training, new hires, or an agency.

Procurement Benchmarking Survey 2012 Main Report The Power Of Procurementalaindhoe
The findings from the survey indicate that, although most procurement functions have made significant progress in terms of creating value for their organizations, over the past few years, momentum has stagnated somewhat. In large part, this is because much of the ‘low hanging fruit’ has already been harvested in terms of cost savings, leverage and price. In order to enhance the value delivered, Procurement functions will need to stretch to identify broader opportunities and take on a more strategic role.
