4 Key Steps to Smarter B2B Marketing: Think Like a Database Marketer
We’ve all been there…diligently planning and executing Marketing campaigns to drive new opportunities and, ultimately, increase revenue. But are you throwing precious budget dollars out the window and missing opportunities to drive customer value with effective, targeted programs that hit the right people at the right time via the appropriate channel?
Join me along with Jeff Ernst of Forrester Research, Inc. for a webinar on June 23, 2011 at 1:00 PM EST. We will discuss the Four Key Steps to Smarter B2B Marketing:
1. Develop a lead management process. It is essential to define a process that addresses goals, metrics and activities at crucial lead stages.
2. Prepare to become a database marketer. Your data comes from multiple sources – tradeshows, list purchases, inquiries – and may contain incomplete, duplicate data. Your data strategy should address these issues to ensure you are cleansing and standardizing for maximum return.
3. Become a content marketer. Your organization must offer content tailored to different audiences and stages of the buying cycle.
4. Embrace multiple channels. Go beyond email marketing to ensure you are reaching your targets via their preferred mediums.
We want this to be interactive, so put your questions in the comment section below this post - and we will be sure to address it on June 23!
