B2B Tech Marketing Community Weekly Newsletter: Jan 21, 2020
2020 JANUARY 21 FOCUS: “Getting on the Analyst Firms’ Radar”:
Thanks for continuing to subscribe to our newsletter in 2020. We’re picking things up again from before the holidays, and this week we are focusing on practical tips for getting traction with major analyst firms (like 451 Research, Forrester, Frost & Sullivan, Gartner or IDC).
Many software companies feel they should be ranked near the top of their market segments. Often, the first analyst interactions can be a rude awakening about where unbiased outsiders really see them. Often the price tag of deeply engaging with analysts can be prohibitive, especially in the early stages of a new company’s life.
We thought it would be useful to suggest some articles on how to overcome these challenges and get analyst traction on a limited budget.
