We all know that effective use of research data establishes credibility and trust in B2B marketing content. But if you use outdated, unreliable, or unattributed stats, your content loses credibility instead. Wouldn't it be nice to have a one-stop shop for all the up-to-date evidence you need? Well, here it is: Salesforce's Stat Library was created to be a bookmarkable resource for marketers looking for insights on the intersection of customers, business, and technology. Search for stats by keyword, role, industry, or source. No more frantic searching for last-minute references or scrolling through pages of irrelevant search results! Start searching now.
