New Marketing Rule #1
A New View: The Revenue Cycle
Marketing Automation is designed to address the “Leaky Funnel”. At each stage of
the marketing and sales process. Marketing Automation not only assists with
generating lift to organizations it enables complete visibility into the prospects and
customer journey.
How Marketing Automation Transforms this Process
No Lead Left Behind: Service Level Agreements
Day 0 Notification
Day 1 If untouched, reminder
Day 2 If untouched, reminder cc boss
Day 3 If untouched, alert executives
Day 7 If stale, reminder
Day 8 If stale, reminder cc boss
Day 9 If stale, alert executives
Addressing Funnel Throughput
According to the Current RAD, there are 2,939
organizations in the TAM for the develop bucket.
A conservative lift has been applied to each lift generating
lever to show Marketing Automation Impact .
For Marketing to see a long term
positive return, a lift needs to be
generated from Marketing Automation.
To create this lift, marketing needs the
right tools to better track conversions
throughout the marketing and sales
process, specifically improving overall
conversions in early marketing stages and
throughout the funnel.
o Average Deal Size
o Lead Stage Conversion Rates
o Touch to Inquiry Percentage
o SQL to Close Rate
How does this help
Marketing impact
revenue?

on a Revenue Funnel Model… your
functional teams can start thinking
in terms of Funnel Campaign
Execution. This means
development of marketing
programs specifically designed to
assist at certain stages of the
revenue cycle.

Notas del editor

  1. What we typically see is one of three things: 1. No funnel 2. No definitions to stages in a revenue funnel 3 AND No campaign alignment to this process What you want is: Infinite loop of communication
  2. Why? 1. Weak lead capture. How many of your website visitors today will bounce off your website, never to return again, because you did not give a compelling enough reason for them to opt in on your site? Solution: A compelling magnet to attract the opt-in. Examples include a free consultation, report, webinar, or demo. 2. Failure to educate and build trust with your leads. When we charge out of the gate with a desperate sales pitch, we may skip the important process of educating and building trust with our prospects. Some are prepared to be sold. Others may need to develop a stronger relationship of trust with you before they are ready to take a step forward. Solution: Deliver value to new prospects through educational content. 3. Labeling leads as "bad" merely because they aren’t ready to buy today. Too often, our zeal for sales makes us impatient with people who are not ready to purchase right now. Many of these prospects are great prospects, but their current situation is causing them to delay. Solution: An automatic, long-term, lead-nurturing, follow-up campaign. 4. Failure to identify and overcome common objections. Too often we drop people out of our funnel because we shy away from addressing typical objections head on. What if we were to look at each objection as an opportunity to restate our value proposition to the prospective customer? Solution: Systematically identify and overcome common objections. 5. Unwillingness to create an impressive experience for your new customers. It doesn’t take much to wow our new customers. Too often we make the sale and stop there. Delighting the customer is the key to repeat and referral business. Solution: Establish a follow-up campaign that builds relationships with customers and lets them know that you care.
  3. We also understand that CHANGE MANAGEMENT and changing processes across functional teams is also hard. A typical organization will have these functional teams involved in alignment around the revenue funnel and marketing/sales processes.
  4. What we see – with customers is one of three things typically 1. No revenue or sales funnel 2. No revenue cycle 3. No campaign alignment to the defined funnel stages What you want is the ability to have an infinite loop of communication with your customers and prospects
  5. System support follow up – accountability etc
  6. When we talk to our customers, it really all boils down to your conversion rates. With a wider funnel and technologies to help manage larger volumes of inquiries, what strategies should be formulated to achieve success. Obviously we would love to employ and execute on all of these strategies, but that’s easer said than done. Increasing the number of leads is more a data opportunity than a tool opportunity and growing your deal size is more of a product/sales strategy than it is a marketing strategy. That’s not to say that marketing automation can’t help here, but marketing automations sweet spot is improving conversion rates.
