Step #4: Lead Scoring- not all signals are created equal
Step #5: Monitoring and Management
Following leads through their revenue cycle
Plan what you expect of each campaign
Measure ROI
• Must consider sales opportunity and deal (bookings or revenue) attribution method
• Improve forecasting based of past and current trends
Analyze where leads are getting stuck in the pipe and unclog
Set annual goals but no real beginning and end to this dynamic process
Summary
Marketing is like dating:
Buyer/ seller each on their own timelines
Continuously gauge interest and buying signals; deliver what the seller
is seeking at the right time
Keys to success:
Ensuring “recency” (top of mind) and interactivity
Filling the marketing funnel early and often
• You want time to be your friend, not your enemy
Establishing trust and value BEFORE buying cycle begins
Not selling too early or skipping steps (cheating) can alienate buyer
before buying cycle even begins

Email is an Important Tool
We use email to: support the overall lead generation strategy
• Shortens buying cycle
• “warm” follow up
• Leverages online presence
– Organic, search, website, hosted content,
partners
• Opportunity to collect behavioral data
Focus on Engagement
• Drive interaction between customer/prospect
and brand
• Encourage behavior so customer/prospect
becomes an active participant
• Dependent on type of buying cycle
A Few Types of Engagement Emails
1. Newsletters
2. Follow Up Message
3. Usage Encouragement
Newsletters
• Great opportunity to feature
specific content and product
introductions
• Collect click/usage data
Newsletters
• Focus on company specific information or
aggregate from the industry
• Click data can help determine customer interest
Newsletters
• Test multiple formats, and make sure they’re
user friendly
Follow Up Messaging
Test multiple offers to determine relevancy
and demand
Demo
Whitepaper
Follow Up Messaging
Live Webcast
Live Demo
Follow Up Messaging
• Encourage continued behavior with CTA
Usage Encouragement
• Show users how to use more of the product
• Remind them of capabilities and benefits
Usage Encouragement
Leverage Unique Creative Approaches
• Clever and relevant headlines and
images can increase open and read
rate
Don’t Forget About the Subject Line
According to the website www.subjectline.com:
• Including an offer expiration date in the subject line,
increases open rates by 22%
• The word/s exclusive, private, preview or invitation
in the subject line, increases open rate by 14%
Test and Have Fun
Thank You
