5 Ways To Protect Your Email As Cybersecurity Concerns Grow
Make sure your email account isn't an easy target for malicious actors, and back up important data in the event of a system outage.
As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues and sanctions imposed on Russia from the international community increase, cybersecurity concerns are also on the rise. Though US officials haven't identified a specific retaliatory cyberthreat to the US coming out of Russia at this time, officials are calling on individuals and organizations to remain vigilant and prepare for the possibility of a cyberattack. Part of that vigilance should include email security, as email is especially susceptible to attack.

How To Maximize Your Digital B2B Marketing Strategy With PIM
A good marketing strategy can help B2B companies grow their digital sales, but the sad truth is that B2B marketing has yet to plan effectively to achieve its potential.
Only 13% of B2B companies spend more than 15% of their budget on marketing. Considering the immense benefit that consistent marketing has on brand awareness and attracting customers, that doesn't make sense.
To understand why B2B marketing is not reaching its full potential, let's discuss common obstacles it faces in today's digital landscape.

Get It Together - Now Is The Time For Marketing Resource Management
What Is A Marketing Resource Management (MRM) Solution?
A tool or suite of tools that enables marketers to manage planning and budgeting, project and program management, collaboration and calendaring, content production, asset management, and performance analytics.
Why Do Marketers Need MRM?
First, the most glaring and acute issue is that the 2020 pandemic forced companies to shift to remote workforces in 2020, disrupted marketing plans, and accelerated digital business in a virtual world. This yielded a need for tools such as MRM to unify marketing plans, activities, and assets.

How To Join The Ranks Of Best-In-Class Marketing Organizations
'The increased pressure to deliver results is not likely to go away anytime soon', says Darryl Sparey, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Hard Numbers. Does that sound like a lament from decades ago? Sadly no. It appeared just last year in the article that claimed marketers continue to remain under pressure to deliver results.
The journey to prove and communicate Marketing's value has been underway ever since 19th century Philadelphia retailer John Wanamaker supposedly said, 'Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.' Christine Moorman & Roland T. Rust published a seminal article in 1999 on the Role of Marketing which addressed the importance of accountability in Marketing. Their work, our work, and that of others helped spark the Marketing Performance Management (MPM) discipline. Marketing performance management has been one of the most prominent streams in recent marketing research and practice.

Third-Party Cookies In Chrome Will Soon Be Gone. Are You Ready To Act?
A day without third-party cookies is looming: By late 2023, Google plans to eliminate the use of third-party cookies in Chrome-a browser used by an estimated 3.04 billion people worldwide, essentially disabling how most of our advertising and technologies work today.
Third-party cookies have been a backbone of the marketing industry for the past decade. They allow ad platforms to trace individual users across the Web, understand users' habits and interests, and then serve ad content that is relevant to each user's browsing history.
So why is Google removing valuable third-party cookies and wreaking havoc on the marketing world? The answer comes down to concerns about data privacy. Google and other ad tech entities are under scrutiny for their data practices, and those practices began to be regulated with the passage of the GDPR by the European Union a few years ago.

What Decision Research Tells Us About How Buyers Analyze Choices
In this episode, we will examine decision-making research as it is explored in 3 papers; We only scratch the surface of what is in these, so please dig into the articles above!
- Bounded Rationality: The Adaptive Toolbox (Gigerenzer, 2001)
- Deep Rationality: The Evolutionary Economics of Decision Making (Kenrick et. Al., 2009)
- Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decisions Under Risk (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979)
Slide 1 - Businesses need to make decisions, and they rely on people to do it. We might have all the data in the world, but decision making follows many of the same concepts today that it has for centuries. So let's dive in to what decision research can tell us about how buyers analyze choices.
Slide 2 - Before we get too far into it, these are the 3 articles I referenced for this video. I will link them in the description but you can easily search them on scholar.google.com. They are all free and available. We are only going to scratch the surface of what is in them, so if this interests you, check them out.

Why Don't Sales Leaders Care More About Seller Insights?
Advanced analytics are changing sports as teams collect data that provides insights about the opposing team, its players, and in-game opportunities
These insights only work, however, if the players take advantage of them during the game - in the moment. The three-point shot in the NBA is a great example. Obviously, scoring three points is better than two - which means shooting 40% from two-point range is the same as shooting 27% from three-point range. As long as a player has a three-point percentage higher than 27%, it is usually better for them to take a three-point shot than a two-pointer. The league average for successful three-pointers this year is 35% and has been above 27% for the last 30-plus years. Yet the number of three-point shot attempts only spiked in the last five years. In hindsight, the opportunity was obvious, but teams and players only recently took advantage of it. Sales organizations need to remember this when deploying advanced sales insights. Account, buyer/contact, and deal insights are useful only if the seller eventually takes action.
