The rise of AI has changed how buyers interact with brands. Prospects are now coming to the table with more context than ever before. A single AI search can shape how they evaluate options long before a first conversation.    The path from initial interest to signed deal looks different now. Outbound, inbound, nurture, automation, and sales execution are still part of the equation. What’s changing is how those pieces work together as buyers move through the funnel in less predictable ways.    Join us on March 10 at 12 pm ET for a virtual panel discussion with experts across the full buying funnel who will share how teams are adapting their go-to-market approach as buyer behavior evolves.    The 60-minute Business Growth Roundtable will cover:   Outbound sales and marketing approaches that earn attention and garner engagement  Inbound strategies that attract high-intent buyers  Lead nurturing tactics that turn interest into sales conversations  Practical ways teams are using AI to scale execution while preserving human judgment  Sales enablement approaches that shorten sales cycles and increase close rates  Who Should Attend: B2B and professional services marketing and sales leaders  Revenue, demand gen, and growth leaders responsible for pipeline and sales performance  Teams looking to better connect marketing strategy, technology, and sales execution    Register here. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/2017690106090/WN_X71qoxR_TNarAygFwXKYGA#/registration
