Vistage Colorado and COBRT were honored to welcome Sacunas' CEO Adam Vasquez for his presentation on The Next Generation of B2B.
Millennials are igniting a transformation in B2B sales & marketing and becoming key purchase decision makers. In this session, we'll share results of our study of 2,000 millennial B2B buyers and learn what drives their B2B path to purchase behaviors.
From Facebook to Glassdoor, Adam discussed the channels and content types that matter to millennials, exploring why this group is digital by default, socially savvy, and engaged with cause marketing. As this data impacts the evolution of B2B, we'll give insights on transforming your business to attract and retain millennial buyers.
