A key focus for Amy is the significance of understanding prospects on a profound level. AK Operations creates highly relevant ideal customer profiles by leveraging closed sales revenue data and insights. These profiles are a foundation for developing targeted content that educates and supports B2B buyers. Implementing highly targeted email nurture sequences allows them to swiftly test and refine messaging, resulting in a higher return on investment (ROI) through the initiation and scaling of meaningful sales conversations.
