Leading SaaS tools
A modern marketing & sales approach requires a futureproof marketing technology stack.
Especially COVID-19 pointed out the importance of making sure companies were able to drive a full digital sales process. Not only for prospects and customers to facilitate a frictionless buying journey, but also for internal stakeholders such as sales executives, pre-sales, SDR’s, and marketeers to guide them in their daily work. And don’t forget the management team with detailed dashboards and accurate forecasts.
Account-Based Marketing is another discipline getting more and more attention from leading SaaS tools. Nowadays, there are plenty of tools available to leverage contact details, intent data, predictable data or to scrape certain company data in order to refine your top tiers lists!
Haven’t you heard from the tools listed below? Then I definitely would recommend drinking a coffee with me!
