There’s only a tiny window to show value to a CISO

Security executives are too busy for a sales pitch or a demo unless it addresses their most pressing problem. And even then, cybersecurity product and services companies are overlooking how to understand the problem. The result?

Sales and marketing teams at your firm are resorting to guesswork, the status quo and strategies and tactics that are met with buyer hostility causing your team to struggle to get a seat at the table.

Only 31%

of B2B marketers are fully engaged with their customers

(Gallup)

Which leaves you with:

  • A poor or unpredictable pipeline
  • Lost accounts and deals
  • Rising customer acquisition costs
  • Difficulty breaking through the market noise
  • A struggle to gain or maintain your competitive edge

If cybersecurity tech companies know precious little about their customers, how do they expect to grow and sustain business?

Old strategies just aren’t up to the challenge anymore. The only way forward is to lead with empathy and value.

But how?

Get the rare opportunity to affect change in your organization with a validation panel of C-Level buyers who have decision making power

The Audience 1st CISO Insights Summit Roadshow is a unique event designed to help solution and service providers meet customer needs, maintain progress, and scale growth. Participants have the rare opportunity to get in front of a curated CISO panel to access invaluable customer feedback to improve sales pitches, GTM messaging and strategy, and customer experience. Get firsthand validation and insights from information security leaders from a diverse set of expertise and industry verticals. You’ll walk away with evidence-based action items you can immediately apply to your product, marketing and sales strategies.

The Summit is not a speed dating event for vendors and buyers. The event aims to optimize your business sustainability and increase revenue through feedback and nurturing Relationship Capital among decision makers. This can lead to increased loyalty, repeat business, valuable insights, positive word-of-mouth among the security leader community, and referrals  – to create a sustainable competitive advantage and long-term success.

How does each CISO Insights Summit work?

 

1. Meet with a curated panel of CISOs to validate any objective or challenge

Each panel is specifically curated by Audience 1st to include practicing C-Level executives in security who have buying power. CISOs range from small to large enterprises, globally, across different verticals and industries. Most importantly, all CISOs are part of the mission to help you affect change in your organization and the industry.

2. Get objective and subjective feedback from the CISO panel

The Audience 1st Customer Research Methodology employs objective inputs: as Return on investment (ROI), Cost of inaction (COI), Revenue and spend; and subjective inputs: motivations, perceptions, feelings, buying behaviors, and more

3. Receive assessed, distilled, and prioritized CISO insights after the panel

Audience 1st takes all feedback from each Summit and uses its Methodology to assess, analyze and produce prioritized recommendations on improvements to spnsors' products and GTM strategies tactics, and processes.

4. Optimize your organization and maintain progress by priority with CISOs

Audience 1st will follow up with the CISO panel to and keep them informed of any updates or changes to the sponsors' products, processes, or resources. In addition, Audience 1st will schedule and facilitate a 60-minute follow up call with one CISOs from the Panel after the Summit. *For Platinum sponsors only
