Our research shows that more than 70% of buyers wait until after they have already defined their needs to engage sellers.

However, many sellers and organizations struggle with negotiating successfully.

Yeah, you read that title right. Only 48% of SDRs consistently reach their targets according to TOPO’s 2019 Sales Development Benchmark Report, 48%… that’s it. That means if you’re an SDR, there’s a 52% chance you’ll hit the phones hard, send tons of emails, and not even reach 90% quota. Couple that with an entry-level salary, and you’ll understand why most SDRs do everything they can to be promoted to AE or any position outside of sales.

Why do venture capitalists invest in lots of companies even though 90% of them go bankrupt? Well, 90% of most venture-backed startups that don’t go bankrupt. They at least try to pick the best ones they can. That helps — a bit. But many still do. The “loss ratio” at early-stage VC firms is often around 40% by logo, and 20%-30% by dollars. In other words, 4/10 may go bankrupt or at least lose money … but since the winners tend to get more than the losers, in the end, maybe “only” 20%-30%

As we do our work, our past experience in similar situations shapes how we address current situations. We know how to respond to customers that ask certain questions, or when certain things happen, we know certain responses/actions enable us to successfully deal with them.

As much as it might be difficult to define what "ethics" is in relation to marketing, it's easy to define what it isn't. Take, for instance, a product pricing landing page that gives incorrect information (or, hides the price entirely … ). Alternatively, consider a social media advertisement that claims a product will do X, Y, and Z — but then, when you order it, you find it can only do X.
