Why it matters

When companies join forces (or get gobbled up), it means change one way or another. That goes double if one of those companies is a current customer of yours.

Integrating people, technologies, products, and more is a tall order. Maybe your product is just what the doctor ordered.

What to do

Get a grip on what the merger or acquisition means for the companies in question. Sometimes the result is a new logo slapped onto an existing product. Sometimes it’s a major overhaul of business operations.

Find a likely decision-maker and tweak your outbound accordingly.

Questions to inform outreach
  • How will this merger or acquisition impact the organizations?
  • Is either organization an existing customer?
  • Is either organization a good fit for your product?
  • Is anyone at either organization interacting with your organization?
  • Does anyone at your organization have a relationship with anyone at either organization?
  • What materials can you share to assist with research and decision-making?
