Identify.
Marketers in 2023 need to be strategic in targeting their audience to ensure they reach the right people at the right time, with the right message.

Being intentional about identification improves marketing efficiency by reducing wasted ad spend and maximizing the effectiveness of campaigns – thereby creating healthy pipeline that has a high probability of conversion into revenue.
distribute.
Most industry experts agree that 80% of the success of your content marketing is distribution. If your audience doesn't see your content, or if it’s not making its way to the right people, it becomes wasted effort.

With paid distribution becoming increasingly inefficient, social algorithms untrustworthy, and third-party cookies going away altogether, the future of content distribution and engagement relies on building an owned first-party audience.
Convert.
Across industry, the average website conversion rate – to a Get Started, Contact Sales, or Demo Request CTA, is 2.35%. It's even worse for B2B SaaS. Think about that for a second. That means that 97.65% of your hard-earned web traffic is bouncing after hitting your website.

The most resilient companies focus on growing efficiently in harsh economic conditions. To do this, they use conversion as the growth lever to turn their existing demand into revenue.
