From CEOs to CROs, SMB leaders are feeling the squeeze amid economic uncertainty. Growth is still on the table—but it’s harder, more expensive, and more complex.

Here are the Top 5 Concerns SMB Executives are facing right now:

1️⃣ Sustainable Revenue Growth – Pressure is mounting to deliver predictable, efficient growth, not just top-line noise.

2️⃣ Operational Efficiency – COOs and CFOs are laser-focused on cutting waste and automating smart.

3️⃣ Customer Acquisition & Retention – CAC is up. Retention is critical. Personalization and alignment are must-haves.

4️⃣ Technology Modernization – AI is no longer optional. SMBs want faster ROI, lighter lift, and real business impact.

5️⃣ Competitive Differentiation – Standing out in saturated markets means niche targeting, bold positioning, and sharper GTM strategies.

💡 Is Account-Based Marketing catching on in SMBs? Absolutely. It’s no longer “enterprise-only.” SMBs are embracing ABM to focus resources, align teams, and create more relevant customer experiences.

🤖 AI is also going from buzzword to bottom-line tool. Executives are using it to:

• Predict revenue opportunities
• Automate campaign workflows
• Improve customer retention
• Optimize pricing & forecasting
• Enhance CX with smarter self-service

👉 The common thread? Focus. Alignment. Efficiency. Insight.

The SMBs that succeed in this economy will be those who narrow their sights, align across teams, and modernize how they go to market.
