When the motion startsDay 1
01/ the buyer
Who decides in technology? several roles, one purchase
A customer choice in technology involves more people than the one who asked for a conversation.
Module 01 / 05
Large buying groups
Forrester's 2026 State of Business Buying reports that the typical buying decision now includes 13 internal stakeholders and nine external influencers.
Module 02 / 05
IT and security leaders
IT directors and security leads judge integration, risk and support, and often hold a veto.
Module 03 / 05
Budget owners
Finance, operations or the department that feels the problem usually owns the money.
Module 04 / 05
Security assurance
Buyers look for evidence such as Cyber Essentials, which the NCSC calls the government-recommended cyber security certification scheme.
Module 05 / 05
Procurement
The NCSC offers advice to help improve supply chain security for organisations relying on suppliers, so buyers ask suppliers harder questions.
Forrester's research puts 13 internal stakeholders and nine external influencers in a typical decision.
We map the roles at each named account before the first message goes out, because technology has crowded categories and buyers who research before they reply.
02/ who to reach
Which technology segment should you start with? segment by the problem you solve
Start where your offer removes an urgent, owned problem, then widen.
Our ideal customer profile method decides which segment comes first.
For the wider technology service, see our technology marketing agency page.
03/ timing
Technology buying signals reach accounts when something changes
A signal tells you an account is more likely to care now, so outreach can be specific.
Module 01 / 05
Hiring
Adverts for IT, security or data roles show a team being built and a project being funded.
Module 02 / 05
Tech stack changes
A new platform, a migration or a retired system opens a window for related suppliers.
Module 03 / 05
Security events
Audits, certification deadlines and incidents change what a buyer needs next.
Module 04 / 05
Contract renewals
Renewal dates for incumbent suppliers show when a buyer is open to alternatives.
Module 05 / 05
Website visits
Company-level visits to pricing, security and integration pages show research at a named account.
Our signal-based selling guide covers how signals are weighted and routed to sellers.
04/ how it runs
How a programme runs motion first, system around it
Start with named accounts
We agree the first segment, build the account list and start real conversations while the rest is set up.
Map the buying group
For each priority account we map the roles that own the problem, review the risk and sign.
Switch on signals and channels
Signals, sequences, content and ads are built around the motion that is already running.
Score and hand over
Engagement is scored by account, and sales receives context, not just a name.
Review and widen
We keep what produces meetings, cut what does not, and move to the next segment.
Our lead scoring guide explains how engagement becomes a sales priority.
05/ rules
Technology marketing and the rules that apply what the sources say
Security assurance and email rules shape what you can show and how you can reach buyers.
Module 01 / 04
Cyber Essentials
The NCSC introduces Cyber Essentials as the government-recommended cyber security certification scheme, and buyers ask suppliers for it.
Module 02 / 04
Supply chain security
The NCSC publishes supply chain security advice for organisations relying on suppliers, which buyers use to question vendors.
Module 03 / 04
Corporate bodies
The ICO says you can email or text any corporate body, while sole traders and some partnerships are treated as individuals.
Module 04 / 04
Legitimate interests
B2B outreach to named people usually rests on legitimate interests, which the ICO sets out as a three-part test.
We work with your reviewers and do not give legal or regulatory advice.
