Email subject line with Gong link: “THEY DON’T WANT TO MEET WITH US”... “THEY JUST WANT TO PLAY W OUR PRODUCT !!!!!! ”
A year ago, ReachSuite.io's co-founder, Collin, was leading a sales team when they started complaining about a buyer change he knew nothing about ...
... they claimed people didn’t want to hop on demos, they wanted to do their own independent research and play with the product.
🤔 Were these excuses for a down quarter OR a larger trend starting to bubble up?
Collin flew to SaaStr 2022 and learned this wasn’t a him problem, it was a world shift caused by:
1️⃣ 75% of the US workforce are digital-native millennials who demand self-serve, on-demand buying (Pew, 2022)
2️⃣ We’ve 4x’d our Enterprise Software spend to $900B / year in the US alone (Wow, you buy a lot of software)
3️⃣ E-commerce has cemented itself as the de facto standard for buying anything - personal or professional
These 3 forces have compounded, creating THE modern buyer.
👋 Say hello, be nice, meet your modern buyer
They search vs. ask, play vs. demo, try vs. buy (again ... 🤯 )
The result?
>>> Companies are desperate for ways to achieve modern buyer demands while maintaining control of the value story <<<
“Yeah, not me pal. My buyer loves my demos!” …
... ok friend, chat more in our next post ❤️🍦

There is a world shift clashing in front of us: 75% of the workforce are digital native millennials, the US has 4x’d enterprise software spend since 2019 spending $900B per year, and e-commerce has become the de facto standard for buying anything - personal and professional. The result of these world shifts is that 83% of the buyer’s journey is done before a company ever knows the prospect exists (Gartner, 2023). More specifically, 70% of B2B buyers prefer a self-serve demo and 67% of B2B customers prefer self-serve help over live representatives. Self-service software is becoming the expectation for all companies - that’s a fact. And in turn, companies are desperate for ways to achieve buyer’s demands while maintaining control over their value story.
