Hello, I’m thrilled to be here today! I’m going to give you an overview on the Best Practices in list Segmentation. So Who am I… My name is Jeff Linton – Manager, Product Marketing with Act-On Software – Little about me …I have not always been in Marketing I actually started here in SALES on January 2nd of 2011 as number 16th in the company. I tell this to you because I may be one of the only people in marketing that likes sales and the only sales guy that liked marketing…. Really, I’m in a great spot with a great company – in fact Today our new hire training class ( that’s in our conference room as we speak ) consists of 27 new individuals to acton, yes we have be very very busy to say the least… Before we get started I’d like to cover a few details about today session. For those on twitter you follow us and tweet during the session using the hash tag A O W E B.One more thing….
If you do have ???? You may ask them via through Chat – while in full screen mode you may move you cursor up to the top of the screen and select the blue chat bubble or select the Orange Drop down arrow for the | Q & A – Section and we’ll do our best to cover your questions during the Presentation or at the end of the session. This is being recorded and a link will be made available approximately 24 hours after the session.{{ let’s get started }}
Like to start with a ???? There is no wrong or right answer take a look --- see where you fit – we need to assess where we are – what our skills are and what we need to work…Again we will be send a copy of these slides so you can work on this sheet on your own…
done
Jeff
Atri: On the previous slide we saw what you are doing…Today the top performers marketing tactics….
Jeff
Things to note here as you look at the TOP Pipeline Contributors… The 1st question we asked in the Survey | What types of Campaigns do you currently implement? The TOP 4 in order were EMAIL – Social Media – Tradeshows/Events and PRINT ADS. Yet here.. when we see what adds revenue to the company …. Social Media is at 19% - huge contrast to the being 2nd HIGHEST in campaign effort and time. Also the as we see the TOP 2 Revenue Contributors (green) Email and TradeShows are on the extreme opposite sides of the Cost Per LEAD spectrum --- even with the digital Age – other is listed at 3rd largest --- LeadNurturing and LeadScoreing are more sophiscated way to increase rev…yet many are still not implementing today.
Atri: email F and Act-on ---
Although some of us in attendance today may fell like this climber …Hanging by a thread, You’re NOT ALONE ….Last Year we surveyed over 13,000 Marketers -- This ties back to 2011 Results – Challenges are still the same for all of us – the biggest is Budget – When Time/Budget are combined theydominate the challenges… As marketers we have not found out how to duplicate ourselves But that still does not stop of from trying to work it out…or a least we are working towards figuring it out….Really the question is how much time do you really have to conquer these challenges? One of the our main Focuses here at Act-On is to utilize tools that will help shorten that time frame… for ourselves and we pass that on to our customers.Combining Social media, SFAutomation tools – webinar tools all in one allows to save money and time. Tools are there to help us?? Are we fully using them?
This directly correlates with a data we uncovered last year when we Survey over 450 Acton Customers: When we asked them why Did You Feel Marketing Automation Was Not For You? # 1 was they felt it was too expensive and 2Nd to much to mange. For them now that is not the concern as we see here people, Fees, and access to resources are here in the TOP… This is our key pillars ( reduce the complexity of Marketing Automation.)
Jeff - Current Spend THIS IS WHERE your Dollars are going ---- notice Web Site Visitor Tracking – Plus Email – Imagine if you managed both for a single price? --- this would also eliminate one of the biggest challenges – managing too many systems….and save you money buy combining them together.
