For years, purchasing venture tools and tech complied with a rather predictable playbook. Enterprise buyers started their research on Google and spoken with peers and coworkers. They downloaded and install material possessions and attended events or webinars.

Every one of that activity placed customers on the radar of the vendors and take into motion their sales and marketing initiatives.

AI has actually fundamentally changed the game of B 2 B acquiring for the venture. Not only is it much easier to carry out research with LLMs, yet AI’s capability to generate firms quickly means the marketplace is as crowded and loud as ever before.

On this episode of Conversations with MarTech, we’re talking to Mika Yamamoto, primary customer and marketing officer at Freshworks, regarding the state of business customers in the AI period.
