6. . . . Challenges Still Abound Great if you are a consumer
company but what about enterprise markets? Markets are fractured
how best to access them in a scalable or cost-efficient manner?
Prospects seem to have ADD how do we engage? We have a website,
issue whitepapers and press releases periodically isnt that enough?
How to focus those that provide greatest impact? Online marketing
wont work for me - I still need a salesperson to sell and close
deals. How do I embrace marketing analytics and measurement as core
to how we function (when I didnt come from that world)?6 2010
