Hinweis der Redaktion
Our #1 secret is that we believe that buying has changed forever, and that marketing and sales need to change as well.Not that long ago, there were few 3rd party sources of information – information scarcity – which meant that a buyer had to get most of their information from sales. In this world, it made perfect sense for marketing to pass all leads over to sales. It also meant we lived in a world of attention abundance, with fewer channels competing for a buyer’s attention. Traditional marketing, characterized by Mad Men-style marketing, grew up in this era.
But now, there is an explosion of readily available information… This is a recent phenomenon… The web as a mainstream solution is only 13 years old Over the next 4 years, we will generate more data than the entire previous history of the world Social creates even more sources of information Mobile is transforming not just our access to information – but how we interact with people. When did it become OK to look up info at the dinner table?All this access to information changes the power dynamics between buyer and sales people. Today buyers get most of their information themselves and don’t want to talk to a sales person until they are much further along. [Example: last time I bought a car.] SiriusDecisions says that 70% of the buying cycle has already taken place before buyers are willing to engage with a live sales person.
In traditional marketing, companies needed to rent (or beg) attention from other people’s media. Whether it’s a display ad on a website, a booth at a tradeshow, or an email sent to a third-party list, companies are essentially “renting” attention that someone else built. This can be effective, but it’s also expensive – and become less effective with attention scarcity. In contrast, with inbound marketing, companies build up their own audience and attract their own attention. Marketing needs to become like a publisher. Build your own audience and attention. Examples:superbowl add, regular tradeshow booth = rented attention. Examples of owning: rockstar tour vs tradeshow booth; blog vs traditional PR; our weekly webinar
Map content to the buying stage {keep it short}
Step 1: Important to track all touches
Here we see what works for Marketo over the last 12 months to generate prospects. Explain columns…Inbound is 4.4X better than average Paid (e.g. tradeshow)… But I’d be a bad stock picker if I put all my money in one stock, and I’d be a bad marketer if I bet all my prospect generation on one source. The reality is you need a portfolio of prospects and channels to achieve the best results. In fact, Marketo runs an average of 40 different Prospect generating programs each and every month across all these sources. Paid Sources: AppExchange – 4.1x betterThis analysis has Virtual Tradeshow at 1.8xTradeshow – 0.8xPPC solid – 0.3x , Webinar – 0.3xOnline, Content syndication, 0.2xSocial Media – 0.1xRed velocity = need for NURTURE
Data is available before, during, and after a webinar (registration, attendance, polling, recording playback)Without integration, this data has to be manually moved (or not captured at all)…via uploading/downloading of spreadsheets….possibility of duplicates, missing data….or just not moving data….and definitely a delay in follow-upThe integration automatically syncs data between ReadyTalk and Salesforce on a an hourly basis…or is available to sync at any point with just the push of a button
Streamlined Webinars & Training ProcessesDrive timely sales or account management follow-up after the eventBetter qualify leads and speed follow-up based on how prospects responded to a poll, how long they attended an event, or viewed a recordingProvide visibility into webinar and training activities from the Lead or Contact recordCreate new Leads for registrants & attendees not in SalesforceMap registration data to existing Lead & Contact recordsLet others invite Leads and Contacts to your live or recorded eventEfficient Sales Demos & Online Meetings Sales reps can schedule and start demos directly from Salesforce. Prospects can join web meetings in seconds with no downloads & crystal-clear audio. Demos are automatically captured as Salesforce activities, freeing sales reps to focus on selling. Instantly start or schedule a demo from a Contact or Lead.Automatically record meetings as Salesforce activities. Give management visibility into demo activity
