Why E-commerce & DTC Businesses Need a Demand Generation Specialist

While demand generation is traditionally a B2B discipline, ecommerce brands with wholesale, B2B2C, or enterprise sales channels need demand gen specialists who understand pipeline-driven selling in a commerce context. DTC brands expanding into retail partnerships, marketplace sellers launching wholesale programs, and ecommerce platforms selling to business buyers all require the multi-touch nurture sequences, lead scoring, and sales enablement that demand gen specialists provide. The ecommerce demand gen specialist bridges the gap between consumer marketing expertise and B2B pipeline discipline.
