Customer Experience Matrix

What with it being Valentine’s Day and all, you probably didn’t wake up this morning asking yourself, “I wonder what’s new with DataFlux ?” That, my friend, is where you and I differ. Except that I actually asked myself that question a couple of weeks ago, and by now have had time to get an answer. Which turns out to be rather interesting. DataFlux, as anyone still reading this probably knew already, is a developer of data quality software and is owned by SAS.

markempa

In B2B marketing, when you have many potential buyers who are involved in the buying process, how do you connect with these people in a memorable way? If you look at most lead generation messages, they often contain industry jargon and abstract ideas. Interestingly, that's part of the reason many of them don't work.
