"Delivering timely, personalized and relevant messages to buyers is crucial in today's customer-driven sales process," said Bryan Brown, director of product strategy at Silverpop. "It's time for marketers to stop sending messages when it's convenient for them, and start reacting to their buyers' behaviors. In 2013, focusing on the customer will be crucial. To develop the most rewarding, long-term relationships that lead to increased conversions and higher revenue, marketers must be willing to let their buyers be their guide, paying attention to the actions their contacts are taking, or sometimes not taking, and allowing those behaviors to drive their campaigns."
