B2B marketing data vendor ReachForce today announced its purchase of SetLogik , which provides technology to build cloud-based marketing databases and do predictive modeling against them. Reachforce’s core business is assembling data on marketing prospects, which it then sells for as many uses as possible: appending to Web leads, enhancing existing databases, and buying as lists. The two products will be combined in what ReachForce calls the “Connected Marketing Data Hub”.

The Millennial generation has been out in the workforce for a while now, and this cohort is now entering the stage of their careers where they are part of the business buying process. They may not all be decision-makers quite yet, but they are certainly important influencers. So we B2B marketers must consider how to appeal to them effectively.

When the conquering general and his troops could not find the treasure, they consulted the Oracle of Delphi. The oracle advised them to look under every stone, and to leave no stone unturned.
