Introduction
In 2025, B2B sales have only gotten more complex: the typical B2B purchase now involves an average of 7–8 decision-makers, and nearly 70% of the buyer’s journey is complete before a prospect ever speaks to a sales rep​(1). This means your sales team often has little visibility or influence until late in the game – if buyers even reach out at all. (In fact, about 75% of B2B buyers would prefer a completely rep-free sales experience if possible​(1).) As a result, identifying and engaging the right decision makers at target accounts has become both more challenging and more critical than ever.

This blog post will explore how AI-powered prospecting can help you cut through the complexity and connect with qualified B2B decision makers in 2025. We’ll break down who these key players are in the B2B buying process, how to find and engage them through data-driven outreach (using AI, omnichannel strategies, and intent signals), and why partnering with experts like Martal Group can accelerate your results.

Ready to sharpen your approach and start more conversations with your ideal business decision makers? Let’s dive in – starting with a clear definition of decision makers and their role in B2B sales.

Understanding B2B Decision Makers in 2025

Finding the “B2B decision makers” within a target company has never been a simple task – and it’s only getting trickier as buying committees grow larger and more structured. Gone are the days of single-person purchase decisions. Today, most organizations buy by committee. Research shows that 92% of B2B buying decisions are made by groups of two or more stakeholders​(3). In practice, this means even a relatively small purchase likely needs consensus from several people. For bigger investments, the group often balloons to include representatives from multiple departments (IT, finance, operations, etc.) and management levels.

Another notable trend: buying committees now include more senior-level executives than in the past. Over half of B2B buying groups (53%) have at least one C-suite executive involved in the decision​(2). In other words, even if mid-level managers or directors initiate the research and vetting of vendors, a corporate decision maker like a CFO or CTO often gives the final approval. This reflects the higher stakes and scrutiny on B2B purchases in 2025 – big-ticket decisions demand executive oversight.

What does this mean for your sales and marketing efforts? It underscores that identifying all the key decision makers in an account is vital. If you only connect with a champion or technical evaluator but fail to engage the economic buyer (e.g. the VP or C-level with budget authority), your deal can stall. Conversely, if you map out the full buying committee early – including influencers and approvers – you can tailor your outreach to each and guide the whole group toward consensus. In fact, studies indicate that delivering a “verified buying group” (i.e., knowing and reaching all relevant stakeholders) to sales can boost conversion rates by 20–50%​(3).

It’s clear that in 2025, business decision-makers are not a single job title or role. They’re a web of people. To succeed, you’ll need to unpack who they are and how they work together. Let’s clarify the different roles a typical B2B buying group might include.

What Are “Decision Makers”? Defining B2B Decision Makers and Their Roles

So, what is meant by “decision makers” in a B2B context? Simply put, decision makers are the individuals within a company who have the authority or influence to decide whether to purchase a product or service. In B2B sales, this term doesn’t refer to just one person – it encompasses a range of roles involved in the buying process. Let’s break down some common types of B2B decision-makers and stakeholders:

• Initiator/Champion: This person identifies a need and often kickstarts the buying process. They might be a manager or technical lead who realizes a solution is required. While not always the final authority, the champion drives internal awareness and actively advocates for your solution. They are a key ally in moving the deal forward.
• Influencers/Subject Matter Experts: These are team members (often in IT, engineering, or the end-user department) who evaluate options and provide recommendations. They have significant sway on the decision due to their expertise. For example, a CTO evaluating cloud software or a marketing manager assessing a new CRM will influence which vendors make the shortlist.
• Economic Buyer (Primary Decision Maker): The person with budget authority to sign off on the purchase. This is often a VP, Director, or C-level executive (CFO, CEO, etc.) in the department that will pay for the solution. They care about ROI, cost, and strategic fit. If they don’t see value or trust the proposal, the deal won’t happen.
• User Decision Makers: In many B2B purchases, the people who will actually use the product (or whose team will use it) have input. For example, a Sales VP might be the economic buyer for a sales enablement tool, but the Sales Ops Manager (as the daily user) will likely weigh in on requirements and vendor selection. Their buy-in is crucial for adoption later on.
• Approver/Gatekeeper: Some organizations involve procurement officers or legal/compliance reviewers as final approvers. They ensure the choice meets all criteria (vendor risk, compliance, and pricing terms). They might not use the product, but they can approve or veto deals. Executive assistants can also act as gatekeepers to top executives, controlling access and scheduling – effectively influencing if/when your pitch is heard by the higher-ups.

In a given deal, one person might wear multiple hats (e.g. a CIO could be the champion and the economic buyer for a cybersecurity solution). Or there may be several key decision makers who must all agree – a buying committee. A typical B2B buying committee in 2025 includes anywhere from 4 to 10 members on average​(3), often representing different functions. Each has their own priorities and concerns: the CFO focuses on cost impact, the IT lead on technical compatibility, the end user manager on functionality and ease of use, and so on.

Understanding these roles is essential to effectively navigate the B2B sales process. It helps you answer questions like: Who should you be targeting at an account? Who holds the real power to say yes? Who could derail the deal if not convinced? By clearly defining who the decision makers are, you can shape a strategy to reach each of them with the right message.

Before we get into those strategies (like using AI tools or intent data), let’s acknowledge the obvious – tracking down and engaging all these qualified decision makers is hard work! Next, we’ll discuss the major challenges teams face in identifying B2B decision makers, and why traditional prospecting methods often fall short.

Challenges in Identifying Qualified B2B Decision Makers

Identifying qualified B2B decision makers – the right people at the right companies who have both the authority and the interest to buy – can feel like searching for needles in a haystack. There are a few big challenges at play:

1. It’s Not Obvious Who the Decision Makers Are: Organizational charts and job titles don’t always tell the full story. The “Head of X Department” might seem like the decision maker, but in reality a cross-functional committee could be calling the shots. Or a VP might delegate research to a project lead who heavily influences the choice. Figuring out who is actually driving a buying decision requires digging beyond the surface (via networking, LinkedIn, industry news, etc.). Without careful research, you risk targeting the wrong person or missing a hidden influencer.

2. Buyers Are More Resistant to Outreach: Cold calling a CEO or blasting a generic email to a list of executives is increasingly ineffective. Modern decision-makers are busy and gatekept. In fact, a whopping 97% of people ignore cold calls​(4). Most unsolicited sales pitches never reach a human conversation. Decision makers are also adept at filtering emails and avoiding obvious sales outreach. This means sales reps often struggle just to connect with prospects, let alone have a meaningful discussion.

3. Prospecting is Time-Consuming and Difficult: It’s no surprise that 42% of salespeople rank prospecting as the hardest part of their job – even more challenging than closing deals or qualifying B2B leads​(1). Manually researching companies, finding contacts, reaching out across multiple channels, following up multiple times… it’s a grind. Many sales teams don’t have dedicated staff for this, so account executives or SDRs end up juggling prospecting on top of their other duties. This leads to inconsistent effort and missed opportunities. (One stat found 44% of sales reps are too busy to even follow up on all their leads​(4).)

4. Multiple Decision Makers = Multiple Touchpoints: When an account has 5, 6, or more decision makers involved, you essentially have to “sell” to each of them in some way. That might mean separate meetings or tailored content for each persona. Coordinating this outreach and keeping the buying group aligned is a complex project. If any one key stakeholder is overlooked or unconvinced, the deal can stall. It’s a lot to manage, especially across long B2B sales cycles.

5. Data Decay and Missing Information: Building a list of potential decision-maker contacts is one thing; keeping it accurate is another. B2B data decays quickly – people change roles or companies frequently. Without up-to-date data, you might be calling a number that no longer works or emailing someone who has moved on. Moreover, even a great contact database might not tell you who on that list is currently actively researching solutions (i.e. showing buying intent). It’s easy to waste effort pursuing “dead” leads who aren’t in-market.

All these challenges make it clear that a more strategic approach is needed to identify qualified decision-makers efficiently. Sales teams are turning to new technologies and data-driven methods to overcome these hurdles. In the next sections, we’ll explore how AI-powered prospecting and intelligent outreach can significantly improve your ability to find and engage real decision-makers, despite the difficulties outlined above.

AI-Powered Prospecting for Key B2B Decision Makers

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the game when it comes to B2B prospecting. Tasks that used to require hours of manual research or repetitive outreach can now be accelerated with AI-driven tools. The result? Your team can identify key decision makers and connect with them more efficiently and at greater scale than ever before.

How exactly can AI help in prospecting and lead generation? Here are a few of the high-impact applications:

• Intelligent Lead Sourcing: AI tools can scan vast data sources (like LinkedIn, company websites, news, databases) to identify companies and contacts that match your ideal customer profile. Instead of manually hunting for the Director of Operations at every target account, an AI-enabled platform can pull a list of likely decision-makers in seconds – complete with contact info. Machine learning models can even prioritize which accounts are most likely to need your solution now based on firmographic data and online signals. This means your sales team spends time on qualified prospects, not cold lists.
• Lead Enrichment and Research: Once you have potential decision-maker contacts, AI can help enrich that data with insights. For example, it can update you if a contact’s job title or company changed, pull in recent news about the prospect’s company, or even analyze the person’s social media for interests. This gives reps a fuller picture of the decision maker before reaching out. Some advanced AI sales platforms create an “ideal customer profile” and automatically score or rank leads against it. If a lead is a close match to past win patterns, it gets flagged for priority follow-up.
• Personalized Outreach at Scale: Perhaps the flashiest use of AI in prospecting is using generative AI (like GPT-4 powered tools) to craft personalized emails, messages, and content for prospects. Instead of a rep writing 100 individualized emails, an AI assistant can draft them – each tailored with the prospect’s name, company, pain points, etc., pulled from data. The rep just reviews and sends. According to recent data, 47% of sales professionals now report using generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) to help write sales content or prospect outreach messages​(5). These tools can also suggest best times to send, or even automate email follow-ups, saving tons of time while keeping engagement high.
• AI-Powered Call Outreach and Chatbots: Reaching decision makers by phone or live chat is also getting an AI boost. AI dialers can detect the best times to call certain executives (based on past response patterns) and can even navigate phone trees and voicemails more efficiently. Meanwhile, AI chatbots on your website or messaging platforms can qualify inbound leads by asking questions and booking meetings – essentially acting as an SDR to filter out the decision-makers who are ready to talk. (For example, an AI chatbot might engage a website visitor from a target account, ask a few questions about their needs, and then route the conversation to a human sales rep once it determines the visitor is a potential decision maker with interest.)
• Data-Driven Lead Qualification: One of the less flashy but powerful aspects of AI is analyzing all the engagement data to determine which prospects are truly qualified decision-makers. Machine learning can crunch data on email opens, link clicks, website visits, social media interactions, etc., to identify buying signals. If an account shows high engagement, the AI model can alert the sales team that this account’s decision-makers might be warming up. Additionally, AI-based lead scoring can combine firmographic fit (role, industry, company size) with behavioral data to rank prospects. This helps reps focus on the leads most likely to convert.

In short, AI acts as a force multiplier for prospecting. It doesn’t replace the human touch – instead, it removes a lot of the grunt work (like list building and generic outreach) and provides reps with richer information. By leveraging AI, your team can quickly zero in on key decision-makers who match your criteria and engage them with personalized, timely messages that resonate.

The impact of this is already evident: nearly half of sales teams have incorporated some form of AI, and more are following suit. In HubSpot’s 2024 State of AI survey, 43% of sales professionals said they use AI at work in some capacity, and this number is climbing fast​(5). Sales orgs are using AI for everything from forecasting and pipeline management to lead gen; importantly, 22% are using AI specifically to qualify leads and 20% to support prospect outreach​(5). The takeaway is clear – those who embrace AI tools can prospect smarter, not just harder.

However, technology alone isn’t a silver bullet. Effective prospecting still requires a strategy that touches prospects across multiple channels and nurtures leads over time. That’s where the next piece comes in: combining AI with an omnichannel outreach approach to actually reach those decision-makers who have been identified.

Omnichannel Strategies to Engage B2B Decision Makers

Even if you’ve pinpointed the right corporate decision makers at your target accounts, you still face the challenge of engaging them. Busy executives and buying committees are spread across different channels – email, phone, LinkedIn, industry events, etc. Relying on only one communication channel is a recipe for missed connections. The solution is an omnichannel outreach strategy: meeting B2B decision-makers where they are and using multiple touchpoints to break through.

Why go omnichannel? Consider these insights on buyer preferences:

• Email is essential but not sufficient. Email remains the workhorse of B2B outreach – about 80% of prospects prefer to communicate via email during the sales process​(1). It’s convenient and can be personalized at scale. However, inboxes are crowded. Decision makers might receive hundreds of emails a day, and even a great message can get lost. So while you should craft strong email introductions and sequences (and AI can help with personalization), don’t stop at email.
• Phone calls still matter, especially for senior executives. Despite the decline of cold calling success overall, many high-level decision makers prefer phone conversations once interest is established. In fact, 57% of C-suite buyers say they prefer phone outreach when being contacted by sales​(1). A direct call can convey tone, build trust, and allow back-and-forth in ways email can’t. The key is to call with context – reference a mutual connection or a relevant insight (instead of a generic pitch) to avoid being seen as an intrusive cold call. Given that so few reps effectively use the phone now, a well-placed call can actually differentiate you. (Just be sure to do your homework first – e.g., start your cold call with a warm introduction or reference something the exec cares about.)
• Social media and LinkedIn are rising channels. Today’s business decision makers often research and network on platforms like LinkedIn. Social selling – engaging prospects via social media content and direct messages – has become a powerful complement to traditional outreach. Sales statistics show that prospects engage significantly via LinkedIn: for instance, outside surveys found buyers are likely to engage at industry events (34%), on LinkedIn (21%), or via text messages (21%) during their research​(1). And fully 72% of sales reps report using social media for prospecting now​(1). Connecting with a decision maker on LinkedIn by commenting on their posts or sharing valuable content can warm them up before a direct sales conversation. It’s a softer approach that builds credibility.
• In-person and virtual events still play a role. Don’t forget that many decision-makers can be reached through networking at conferences, trade shows, webinars, and so on. As noted, 34% of prospects favor industry events as a place to engage with vendors​(1). If your target executives are speaking at or attending a conference, that’s a prime opportunity to meet or at least mention it in outreach (“I saw your panel at X event…”). Virtual events and webinars you host can also attract multiple members of a buying committee at once, allowing you to educate and influence them together.
• Direct mail and other channels. In some cases, especially for high-value accounts, creative channels like personalized direct mail, physical gifts, or even video messages can grab a decision-maker’s attention in ways digital outreach might not. For example, sending a printed research report to a CEO’s office or a quick 1-minute personalized video introduction can set you apart from the flood of text-based messages. These should be used thoughtfully (and sparingly) as part of a broader sequence.

The core idea of omnichannel prospecting is sequencing multiple touchpoints across these channels to increase the chances of engagement. A sample sequence to reach a key decision maker might look like:

1. Connect on LinkedIn and engage with a couple of their posts.
2. Send a personalized email referencing a pain point or goal relevant to their role.
3. Follow up0 with a second email (perhaps sharing a case study or insight).
4. Call their direct line or office with a short, value-focused pitch (and leave a voicemail if no answer).
5. Send a LinkedIn message referencing the emails/call and offering something of value (e.g. a whitepaper, invite to an event).
6. Try a creative touch – for example, a short video message or a piece of useful content sent to them.
7. Final follow-up email or call to attempt to set a meeting.

These touches would be spread out over days or weeks, with careful tracking of responses. The goal is to make sure your outreach stands out and demonstrates persistence without veering into spammy. Each touchpoint should add some value or new context. By mixing channels, you also learn where the prospect is most responsive – some will never answer calls but reply to email, others vice versa.

Executing an omnichannel strategy can be resource-intensive, but this is where having a partner or tools to automate parts of the sequence is invaluable. Martal Group, for instance, uses a multichannel outreach platform as part of its service – ensuring prospects get a balanced cadence of emails, LinkedIn touches, and calls, all orchestrated for maximum impact. As a result, Martal’s clients benefit from higher contact and meeting rates with tough-to-reach executives.

The data backs up the omnichannel approach: companies that engage prospects on 3 or more channels see much higher response rates than those sticking to one. It makes sense – by surrounding the decision maker with relevant messages in different formats, you increase the likelihood of catching their attention in at least one of those venues.

In summary, to engage B2B decision-makers in 2025, diversify your outreach. Use email, phone, LinkedIn, and more in tandem. Keep your messaging consistent but tailored to each channel. And remember, the goal isn’t to bombard or annoy the prospect; it’s to be present in the spaces where they’re already researching and communicating. When done right, an omnichannel strategy feels like you’re everywhere the buyer turns (in a good way) – reinforcing your value proposition and building familiarity until they feel comfortable engaging.

Next, we’ll look at how to further refine your targeting by leveraging intent data – so that all this outreach is focused on prospects who are actively in the market for your solution.

Leveraging Intent Data to Target B2B Decision Makers

Identifying decision makers by title and company is one thing. But how do you know if those decision-makers actually have a need or interest in your solution right now? This is where intent data comes into play. Intent data refers to signals that indicate a prospect’s buying intent – such as their online research activities, content consumption, or explicit behaviors that suggest they are exploring a product or problem area.

By leveraging intent data, you can prioritize reaching out to qualified decision-makers who are “raising their hand” through its signals rather than going in completely cold. Here’s how it works and why it’s so powerful:

• Identify In-Market Accounts: Third-party intent data providers (like Bombora, ZoomInfo, 6sense, etc.) track web activity across many sites – for example, reading blog articles about network security or comparing software on review sites. When they detect a spike in interest on certain topics from people at Company X, that’s a strong clue Company X may be in the buying process for a related solution. Sales teams can get alerts about these surges. If Company X is in your ICP (ideal customer profile) and showing intent signals, you know to focus on it now. Your outreach to decision makers there will be much more timely and relevant (“many companies like yours are evaluating network security upgrades right now…”).
• Find the Right Contacts via Intent Triggers: Intent platforms often can tell you which departments or job functions are engaging with certain content. For example, maybe multiple people from a target company’s finance team have been researching “revenue forecasting software.” That tips you off that the CFO’s office might be driving an initiative. You’d then target qualified decision-makers in finance at that account (CFO, VP of Finance, etc.) with messaging about forecasting solutions. In short, intent data helps narrow down who in the organization is likely involved, so you’re not guessing.
• Personalize Messaging to Pain Points: Knowing what a prospect has been reading or searching for enables you to tailor your outreach. If you see an account actively consuming content around “cloud data backup,” you can reference the challenge of data loss or compliance in your communication to the IT Director (a relevant decision maker). This catches their attention much more effectively than a generic pitch. You’re entering the conversation already happening in their mind.
• Improve Lead Quality and Efficiency: Perhaps the biggest benefit – intent data makes your prospecting far more efficient. Rather than reaching out blindly to 100 companies, you might focus on the 20 that are showing intent this quarter. Marketing guru Seth Godin famously said, “Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers.” In the context of prospecting, intent data lets you find the customers who are already looking for a product like yours. And the results speak for themselves: Over 55% of businesses have seen positive results from utilizing intent data, such as higher lead-to-opportunity conversion rates​(6). Moreover, an astounding 96% of B2B marketers said intent data helped them achieve their goals in campaigns​(6)– a testament to how targeting in-market buyers boosts success.
• Shorten Sales Cycles: When you engage decision makers at the moment they’re researching solutions, you insert your company at just the right time. This can significantly shorten the usually long B2B sales cycle. You’re not trying to create demand from scratch; you’re responding to existing demand and guiding it toward your solution. Some studies even suggest that deals sourced via intent-driven outreach close faster and at a higher rate than those from traditional cold outreach. You’re essentially catching the buyer “hot” rather than lukewarm.

To implement intent data, many companies use a combination of tools and services. Martal Group, for instance, integrates real-time intent signals into its prospecting engine (as mentioned earlier in the Martal analysis). Martal’s team monitors which accounts are actively searching for solutions in their clients’ domains and then quickly acts on those insights – reaching out to the relevant decision makers with tailored messaging. This signal-driven targeting ensures that Martal’s outreach on behalf of clients hits receptive audiences at the right time, yielding better engagement. It’s like having a cheat sheet for where the next deal might come from.

In summary, intent data turns the unknown into the known. Instead of wondering which prospects to call this week, you have data-backed direction: focus on the ones demonstrating interest. It aligns marketing and sales efforts on high-intent targets, making everyone more productive.

By combining intent-based targeting with the AI and omnichannel tactics discussed earlier, your ability to connect with qualified B2B decision-makers goes through the roof. You’ll be reaching out on multiple fronts, armed with data on who to contact and what they care about. At that point, the final piece of the puzzle becomes whether you execute this in-house or leverage outside expertise.

Let’s weigh that option – building an in-house prospecting process versus outsourcing to a specialized partner – and see how Martal Group, in particular, can accelerate your path to pipeline growth.

Outsourcing Lead Generation to Reach B2B Decision Makers

Building a robust in-house process to identify and engage B2B decision-makers is a significant undertaking. It requires skilled personnel (from researchers to SDRs), access to premium data/tools, ongoing training, and a lot of time. Many companies find that doing all of this internally is complex, costly, and slow to yield results. This is why an increasing number are choosing to outsource lead generation to experts who do it all day, every day.

Martal Group is one such expert – an outsourced sales and lead generation agency with a proven track record in connecting clients to qualified decision makers across tech, SaaS, AI/ML, IT services, cybersecurity, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and more. Partnering with a firm like Martal can fast-track your prospecting efforts in several ways:

• Instant Team of Experts: When you outsource to Martal, you immediately get a remote sales team of experienced professionals working on your behalf. Martal’s sales executives (based in North America and globally) are skilled at navigating complex B2B accounts and engaging high-level decision makers. They essentially act as a “fractional” extension of your team – you gain their expertise without the long ramp-up it would take to hire and train new in-house reps. Martal has over a decade of experience doing this for companies from startups to Fortune 500s, so they bring battle-tested tactics to the table on Day 1.
• AI-Powered, Data-Driven Approach: Martal heavily leverages AI-powered outreach systems and intent data(as we discussed earlier). This means your campaign benefits from cutting-edge technology – intelligent lead sourcing, signal monitoring, automated personalized outreach sequences, etc. Martal’s platform might, for example, automatically build a targeted list of VP-level decision makers in 50 ideal accounts, detect which of those accounts are surging in interest on relevant topics, and launch a 15-touchpoint cadence (emails, LinkedIn, calls) to engage them. All of this happens with minimal effort on your part, but you reap the rewards in the form of warm leads and booked meetings.
• Omnichannel and Multilingual Outreach: One of Martal’s strengths is its omnichannel strategy and international team. They don’t just rely on one channel – they combine cold email, LinkedIn messaging, phone calls, and more to reach prospects, just as we outlined in the omnichannel best practices. Plus, with an international team, Martal can engage leads in various regions (North America, Europe, LATAM, etc.) and languages if needed. This is crucial if you target decision-makers globally. It ensures cultural nuances are respected and outreach happens during local business hours by a rep who speaks the language – greatly increasing response rates.
• Focus on Qualified Leads and Meetings: The ultimate deliverable of Martal’s service is not just a list of contacts – it’s actual sales meetings with qualified decision makers. They aim to deliver a steady flow of high-quality leads who have been vetted and are ready to talk business. Martal’s team researches and qualifies prospects against your ideal customer profile (checking industry, company size, role fit, pain points) so that when a meeting is set, your closers are speaking with the right prospect at the right time, not wasting time on mismatches. This can dramatically improve your sales efficiency and win rates, since your salespeople focus only on well-qualified opportunities.
• Scalability and Agility: Need to ramp up lead generation quickly – perhaps to fuel a new market entry or to accelerate growth after funding? Martal allows you to scale outreach fast without the usual constraints of hiring. Conversely, if you need to pivot focus (e.g., target a new vertical or adjust messaging), Martal’s agile team can adapt the campaign on the fly. This flexibility is hard to achieve in-house, where processes might be more rigid and resources fixed.
• Proven Processes and Insights: Because Martal works with many clients and industries, they carry a wealth of cross-industry knowledge. They know what messaging resonates with a tech CEO versus a manufacturing operations director, or how to navigate common objections. They also continuously optimize through analytics – tracking which subject lines get the most opens, which call approaches convert best, etc., and refining the approach. When you engage Martal, you benefit from these refined best practices. It’s like having a playbook that’s been honed across dozens of successful lead generation campaigns, now customized to your offering.

All of these advantages lead to the core benefit: speed and effectiveness. Instead of spending 6+ months building an internal SDR team and experimenting to find the right tactics, Martal can start delivering qualified sales opportunities in a matter of weeks. For companies looking to grow revenue quickly, that acceleration is invaluable. As Martal’s clients often discover, outsourcing this function means sales pipeline growth without the growing pains. Your account executives can focus on pitching and closing deals, while Martal’s team does the heavy lifting of prospecting and appointment-setting.

Of course, choosing a partner is a significant decision. It requires trust and alignment. Martal addresses this by working closely with clients to understand their unique value proposition, ideal customer profile, and goals. They position themselves truly as a partner (their model is often described as “Sales Executives on Demand”). Martal also provides transparency through regular reporting and communication, so you see exactly what outreach is being done and the results.

In the end, the question boils down to ROI. By outsourcing, you convert what would be a fixed cost (salaries, tools, overhead for an internal team) into a flexible service that is accountable for delivering results. Martal has found that clients save over 65% on average compared to the cost of hiring an equivalent in-house team, while achieving better outcomes faster (per Martal’s case studies). It’s a compelling case for many organizations, especially those in growth mode or those that lack extensive sales development infrastructure.
