A clear path from lead-based execution to Buying Groups Orchestration
Modern B2B purchases involve multiple stakeholders, each entering the journey at different times with different concerns. When teams operate on individual leads, signals fragment, ownership blurs, and opportunities stall. A Buying Groups Motion provides a way to organize people, signals, and actions around how decisions actually happen.
The Buying Groups Adoption Journey defines a four stage operating model used by enterprise revenue teams to move from alignment to execution. It shows how marketing, sales, operations, and IT work from a shared opportunity view and respond to buyer signals with clarity and intent.
Delivering a verified Buying Group to sales can improve conversion rates by 20 to 50 percent. These gains come from better visibility into who is involved, when engagement happens, and which roles influence outcomes.
“LeanData is like a Swiss army knife. We use it for data quality, for routing, and now for Buying Groups.”

Align teams around opportunity reality
Early stages focus on building internal alignment, analyzing historical opportunity data, and identifying common Buying Group roles and signal patterns. This creates a shared language and measurable foundation for change.
Build and orchestrate with confidence
Later stages focus on structuring Buying Groups inside the CRM, capturing signals across stakeholders, and coordinating plays across marketing and sales. Execution becomes faster and more consistent because teams act from the same view of the buyer journey.
