Whether your B2B sales organization has too many leads or not enough, qualifying your needs requires tight integration of every piece of communications lined up to each stage of the traditional sales funnel. An integrated marketing expert, Marc Lefton has worked with Bloomberg, DirecTV for Business, L'Oreal Professional, InfiniGraph, Me-Ality and many other B2B organizations to perfect their sales communications.
2. B2B marketers often come to a marketing person with a list of tactical
needs. “We need a brochure for our sales team.” Item by item, they tick off
each deliverable.
The problem sales teams often have though is that their materials don’t tell
their story in the right logical progression. Additionally, organizations
focused on a traditional sales funnel do not line up their communications
efforts to the right stage of the funnel.
I focus on blending creativity and big data insights in integrated marketing.
I’ve created a system for what I call “Sales enablement marketing.” Whether
you have too many leads and not enough time to follow up, or are just not
getting the volume of qualified customers you need, I can custom-taylor a
system that will work for your organization.

3. What is the single most important piece of information you want your prospect to
know about you? Often organizations are hampered by a confusing array of
features and products targeting multiple industries and job titles.
I help make sense of each offering and who the target market is. From there, I
deliver a plan to build a Sales Enablement Marketing campaign that takes a
prospect through each stage of the sales funnel, building your story and their
interest to the point where you’re certain they’re a qualified lead.

4. I help you create an integrated strategy where each communications piece lines up to a stage in the traditional
sals and marketing funnels. Each piece has a goal of leading the prospect to tell you they are interested, saving
your sales team valuable time avoiding wild goose chases.

6. While more expensive than Facebook, LinkedIn offers more precise targeting at
the executive level. We can target higher level executives at major chains with
offers for them to send their franchisees. LinkedIn allows for “lead collection”
where the lead can opt to be contacted via a single button. Video ads, unlike
Facebook are also available on the site as an ad unit.
We can also, for free, post our relevant content to LinkedIn groups our targets
join.

8. Landing pages are a vital part of the sales funnel. This is the make it or break it
moment where your prospect, having learned a bit about your offering decides
to enter their email for more information. We help you develop compelling
reasons for them to do this - such as videos, SlideShares, white papers, and
webinars.

9. Webinars offer a narrowly targeted, interactive and highly measurable way to
present the product benefits to a customer and close a deal. Leads are far more
likely to part with their name and email in exchange for a free high-value,
hands-on approach.

10. Remarketing is a powerful way to stay engaged with your target audience.
Presenting them with highly relevant ads and offers across the Web -- and
making sure your brand is top of mind when they’re ready to buy –- can
radically improve ROI. Achieve even higher conversions by combining other
targeting methods, such as interest categories, demographics, or keyword
campaigns. We can embed an RSS feed of our recent content, include videos
and messaging about webinars, white papers and slide shares.
