But B2B software sales are incredibly complicated things. They involve a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Any sizable B2B SaaS deal includes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A buying committee.<\/li>\n<li>Influencers (not the ones you see on TikTok, but old-school influencers).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Lawyers.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Procurement professionals.<\/li>\n<li>Executives.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these roles has its own horse in the B2B SaaS buying race, which isn\u2019t really a race at all because it takes months, in many cases, to get all of these people to agree on anything.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what happened on LinkedIn this week when HockeyStack, a software vendor that helps marketers with attribution and account analysis, released a report on B2B touchpoints.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(Disclosure: I discussed <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/demand-gen-vs-lead-gen-have-we-reached-a-final-verdict\/\">a previous HockeyStack report<\/a> with Canberk Beker, who used to lead growth for HockeyStack, but recently left the company.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-the-hockeystack-touchpoint-report-found\">Here\u2019s what the HockeyStack touchpoint report found<\/h2>\n<p>HockeyStack uses anonymized data from its clients to put together reports and paint a picture of how B2B marketing efforts lead to sales. The dataset is, therefore, limited to those companies. You can read <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/hockeystack.com\/lab-blog-posts\/b2b-customer-journey-touchpoints\">the touchpoint report findings<\/a> on the HockeyStack site.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the high-level findings:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The average number of touchpoints required to generate an MQL increased by 31% from 2023 to 2024 \u2014 it now takes 71 touchpoints for a B2B SaaS company to generate an MQL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 2024, companies need 2,879 impressions and 266 touchpoints to close a deal. That\u2019s a 10% increase in impressions and a 20% increase in touchpoints from 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A $100K+ deal requires 1,893 impressions until a website visit and thousands of more touchpoints to win the deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/the-4-types-of-content-buyers-want\/\"><strong><em>The 4 types of content buyers want<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-and-then-comes-the-distribution\">And then comes the distribution\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Like a lot of software vendors that have reports, surveys and data\u00a0 to promote, HockeyStack found a partner to help spread the word. HockeyStack teamed up with Exit Five, a B2B marketing community and education outfit founded by former Drift marketing executive Dave Gerhardt, to promote the report.
