Thriving in the New Normal of B2B Tech Marketing and Sales
More than two years into the pandemic and one thing is clear: B2B tech marketing and sales will never be the same. We’re all adjusting to a new normal. Our prospects are enabled and inclined to do more independent, digital research than ever before. With the rise of hybrid work, it’s hard to know where to find them and how best to engage them. Increasingly, they’re opting for a rep-free buying experience and leveraging online information to power their purchases. The region’s best technology providers are changing their processes to keep pace with this evolution. They’re also becoming much more data driven. This year’s ROI Summit will show you exactly how.
RegisterJoin us in Singapore on 13 Sept for APAC’s only event exclusively focused on B2B marketing and sales for the technology sector.
You’ll hear directly from some of the most successful marketing and sales professionals as they explain how they are refining their strategies, architecting their programs and reaffirming their relationship with one another to build brands, pipeline and their businesses.

Key Characteristics of Data-Driven Tech Salespeople
- Shamim Narayan, Senior Director of Product Management, APAC
- Abhishek Thakur, Marketing Leader – Singapore, Growth & Emerging Markets (SEA), Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Let’s face it. There’s nothing sellers like more than being in the same room with their prospects. But even with the return of physical events, most tech buyers are attending far fewer than they did before the pandemic. Today’s most successful salespeople rely on intent data to help identify their best prospects, gather the insights to effectively engage buyers and stay informed of key developments within their current customer base. You’ll meet a local seller who’s letting data power all these activities and see how data can tangibly contribute to sales success.
