Why The Old Way of Reaching CXOs is No Longer Working

CISO Dinners, Speed-Dating, and boxes at sporting events are expensive, ranging from $25,000 – $50,000 per event. All of your sales executives will want an event in their territory. So the actual cost starts at around 150,000 for five events and skyrockets.

These events typically result in 2 – 3 meetings and possibly one closed deal, making them one of the most expensive line items in the Marketing Budget. 

The truth is, these events are losing their effectiveness:

  •  C-Level Execs are burned-out on these events
  •  Often, the attendees are lower-level Directors, not the C-Suite
  •   There is little time to build a relationship with any of the attendees
  •  They do nothing to foster a long-lasting relationship

The Inside Sales Team generally manages post-event follow-up 

  •  This does not build relationships, just transactions
  •  C-Levels will often not respond to a lower-level salesperson

Our network has shared that this model is overdone and does not lead them to build meaningful relationships with vendors. It creates more vendor noise in their world. C-Level Executives are seeking out new ways to connect with innovative technologies in ways that rise above the vendor noise.
