Open your analytics tool right now and count how many metrics you look at on an average work week. Now try to remember what actual decisions came out of those views in the last 30 days.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;If your memory is blank, you&amp;rsquo;re not alone.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The average B2B team has more data than any organization in the history of commerce. You can track ad spend down to the impression, map leads to the exact PPC keyword that drove them, and monitor your sales pipeline in real time. And yet, most decisions still get made the old way. Someone senior gets a feeling. A sales director remembers that one deal from 2019 that &amp;ldquo;proves&amp;rdquo; a certain strategy. The loudest voice in the room wins, and the dashboard becomes nothing more than a pretty slideshow for the monthly review.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
