Make No mistake, the goal of demand
generation is sales!
However the survey uncovered real problems…
The average number of B2B sales reps making quota in
2012 was only 63%
The average number of firms that achieved their 2012
corporate revenue goals was only 42%

Solutions
Here are 11 field tested tips and process
improvements

11.
Tip 1: Become a “Lead-To-Sale” Doctor
• Develop & live a “lead-to-sales” philosophy
• Develop your skills, or have staff, or a vendor that can
diagnose a broken or inefficient lead-to-sale process
• Figure the issues out and implement solutions
• Attitude is key

12.
Tip 2: Unify the “Lead-to-Sale” funnel plans
into One
 Map buying process by segment or solution
 Map the selling process for each solution type
 Marry up the two funnel processes as one
 You can’t fix it till you know it end to end
 Build perfect prospect profiles and buyer personas for each
 Identify where they go for solutions, ideas and information

13.
Tip 3: Define a “Sales-Ready Lead”
 A sales lead that will close!
 Design lead criteria based on the perfect prospect profile
 Gather sales team input & buy in
Action item: Document and have sales
reps sign off on a sales action SLA document
Warning: Don’t pass unqualified leads to sales, they fail

14.
We surveyed sales and here is what they want:
The digital behavior lead score PLUS information
on the actual opportunity
• Digital information verified
Contact information tele-validated
Web and content activity shared
• Right market segment or customer category
• BANT + details on the prospect & opportunity
• Needs to be addressed…
• Size of opportunity…
• Time frame and is there a sense of Urgency…
• Access to funding or ability to obtain or is bus case
needed
• Willingness to move forward and engage with sales?
• Appointment is warranted and set with sales team

15.
For complex B2B sales leads
go beyond digital body language scoring
• Pinocchio Principle
• Be aware that some people do not tell the truth on line
• Research shows 69% admit to this
• Many suspects are not “qualified”, however they
consume content and give off false digital signals
• Prospects don’t disclose pain & needs details on line
• The “Sticky Funnel” conundrum
• All of these issues consume significant
sales resources

17.
When is it OK to stop at Digital Body
Language when setting qualification
criteria?
• When you have the following conditions
• You have a broad horizontal market and can’t
engage on a 1:1 basis affordably
• Large market which is influenced via social media
• Have a large sales network with their own 1:1
process
• Have a lower price point, or margin or
transactional sale process

18.
Tip 4: Quantify the needs
Create A Lead-To-Sales Requirements Calculator
Sample Lead Requirements Calculator
Scenario Requirements
ANNUAL SALES REVENUE GOALS: $13,000,000
Sales Revenue Goals/Quarter $3,250,000
Revenue per sale $115,000

Tip 6: Implement an agile marketing system &
lead mgmt. team that gives you end to end
visibility into all of your campaigns
 Action item: Have the right talent, systems and an executive
dashboard reporting tool to manage your lead-to-sale funnel

21.
Tip 7: Improve targeting
Assess & improve prospect data accuracy
then segment prospects into smaller sets
Action item: Don’t boil the ocean. Clean prospect data, then
compare campaign performance by segment to identify better
performing markets to focus resources better..

22.
Tip 8: Use multi-touch campaigns to serve up
relevant content, offers, personalized messaging
to engage prospects with your compelling story
Action item: Create a multi-touch sequence of relevant
content to deliver to prospects over time to earn the right to
engage and ask the peer level qualification questions.

23.
Example: Rovi Multi-Channel Campaign
9 components: Personalized content and messaging via dimensional mail,
email, 2 banner ads, social/twitter, web site, landing page, the online trivia
game and a tele-qualification team

Case: Rovi’s front line
Tele-prospecting/Tele-qualification team
brings it all together
 Has become their ultimate personalization touch point
 This pre-sales team syncs all the components, digital and
off line into the tele-qualification process
 Helps solve prospect problems with the right information
 This allows us to earn the right to ask the detailed qualification
questions needed by the sales team to prepare to engage
 Allows us to close on meetings with the sales teams
 Works for Rovi’s b2b complex solutions where the goal is
to optimize the sales team’s time and resources
Action item: Multi-Channel Multi-Touch is the
new norm. Test it if you are not already using it.

30.
Tip 9: Consider peer-to-peer tele-qualification
in the touch process at the right time
Action item: We suggest running a three-month A/B test using
email + telemarketing in the lead nurturing and qualification process
and measure the ROI.
Hint: Use the peer-to-peer approach

31.
This improvement was recently documented
in Aberdeen’s research
 Sales related KPIs rated higher in this b2b model
