5. Defining Demand Generation
@cahidalgo
“A perpetual process that is both operationalized
and optimized to Engage, Nurture and Convert both
prospects and customers along their buying
process.
A process that is designed to educate and qualify
through the collaboration of marketing and sales
activities with the goal of driving revenue and
maximizing customer lifetime value.”
