Data Center Sales & Marketing Institute (DCSMI)

Register for Data Center Go-to-Market 2025 Jumpstart (Three-Day Training Event) (For Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, and Channel Partnership Professionals in the Data Center Industry) Data center clients have completely changed how they research and make purchase decisions. Gartner found that up to 83% of the buyer's journey happens before sales teams meet a prospect. So even in the best of circumstances, you’re only getting a seat at the table for the final 17% of the sales process. Has your company kept up with these changes? Or are you still using the same sales and marketing playbook from 10+ years ago? (when you had a role in nearly 50% of the sales process) The self-guided buyer's journey -- where the buyer is in the driver’s seat -- has frustrated many sales and marketing teams. But these challenges also present game-changing opportunities for those who can get found early as trusted advisors. To own most of the typical 28 touchpoints between a stranger and a significant data center purchase, sales and marketing teams need to upgrade to this new reality. And that’s the reason why DCSMI is hosting a free, three-day training event: to help you prepare.

[New Podcast Episode] “Putting data centers together and all of the critical raw materials that go into that are also very important. We talk about this green transition. We seriously need to look at how this is going to stack up, particularly in Europe, for example. Europe always seems to be at the forefront of trying to do things from a sustainable perspective. When you start crunching the numbers, how you're going to meet those green transition targets, you suddenly realize that: do we have the actual material resources to do this? And, data centers are part of that because they have a huge demand on material resources. At a high level, from a sustainability perspective, that could be a mistake to focus entirely on carbon.” Via Jon Summers at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Watch the full episode: Ep. 48 Jon Summers, Research Leader of RISE Research Institutes of Sweden | Data Center Go-to-Market Podcast See the comments for the link #aidatacenters #ai #blankingpanels #carbonmyopia #datacenterbusinessmodels #datacenterenergy #datacentermistakes #datacenterresearch #datacentergtm #datacenters #dcsmi #digitalinfrastructure #energyconsumption #highperformancecomputing #hotairmanagement #liquidcooling? #nuclearfusion #ocp #powerconsumption #sustainability #sustainabilityresearch #thermalmanagement
