    Highspot’s strength in AI and leadership in predictive analytics and machine learning to surface the best content for every interaction was also highlighted in the report. According to Gartner, “Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a core capability in DCMS [digital content management for sales], where algorithms replace the manual operational tasks.”

    As we see it, this report highlights a market shift in the way sales and marketing teams communicate with buyers, requiring companies to focus on empowering sales teams for better, more targeted customer conversations.

    We hear it every day: traditional sales and marketing approaches no longer work to win and retain customers. Modern buyers don’t want to be sold — they want to be guided. Highspot ensures that sales representatives are equipped with the right sales content and education at the right time in order to keep buyers engaged. And marketers can better share content and leverage insights on data use and effectiveness to drive a more cost-effective, data-driven content marketing strategy.
