Personalized lead nurturing represents a total shift in the way businesses interact with their potential customers. It moves beyond the one-size-fits-all marketing communications of the past (which never worked to begin with, to be honest), and focuses instead on tailoring messages, offers, and experiences to individual prospects based on their preferences, behaviors, pain points, and interactions with a brand.

While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.
