In a hyper-competitive market, B2B sellers are constantly looking for an edge with their ideal prospects. Buyers are doing the same: most come to the table with extensive research in hand, and nearly all of them buy from a company on their “day one” list. But all of that activity isn’t happening in a vacuum. As prospects define their problem, search for solutions, and even change jobs, they are generating high-value signals that the best go-to-market teams can leverage to close more deals.

It’s one of those sayings that sticks around: People quit managers, not jobs. But, for all its staying power, is it actually accurate? When it comes to why your best IT managers quit, the answer is yes, no, and maybe.
