7. Some of the “Best Channels” to Help You
Reach Your Destinations
 Email Marketing & Marketing Automation
 Trade Shows, Conferences, & Sponsored Events
 BDRs & SDRs
 Direct Mail & Executive Gift Boxes

8. Email Marketing & Marketing Automation
 281 billion emails per day will be sent and
received in 2018 (Radicati Group)
 Only 24% of sales emails are opened (HubSpot)
 The average email click-through rate across
industries in 2017 was 4.19% (SmartInsights)
 The average person deletes 48% of the emails they
receive every day. This task takes them just five
minutes. (HubSpot)

9. Trade Shows, Conferences, &
Sponsored Events
• On average, floor space costs $22.32 per square foot (Tradeshow Institute)
• The industry average to purchase individual portable trade show booths is $100-$150 per
square foot (E&E Exhibit Solutions)
• Exhibit rentals are about 35% of the hardware purchase cost (E&E Exhibit Solutions)
• Expensive considerations: freight, drayage, rentals, carpeting/flooring, electricity, Internet,
installation/dismantling labor, A/V equipment, travel, and more.

10. SDRs & BDRs
 It takes 18 or more dials to connect with a
prospect over the phone and call-back rates are
below 1%. (TOPO)
 The average Sales Development representative
makes 46 calls a day. (The Bridge Group)
 Teleprospectors make between 100 and 500 calls
for every lead they qualify. (SiriusDecisions)

11. Direct Mail & Executive Gift Boxes
• The average rate of return on direct mail campaigns
is generally 0.50% to 2.0%. (JWM Business
Services)
• Factor in list, creative, offer, printing, shipping, and
other costs and direct mail is more expensive than
any other promotion tool available out there.
(FrescoData)
• Wrong street numbers or names and mismatched
city, state and zip codes are direct mail issues. Every
mislabeled mailer is wasted expense. (AZCentral)

12. Reaching the Hard-to-Reach Buyer Tip:
Leverage Display Advertising & Retargeting
 Display ads are more suitable for long
sales processes than for selling high
volumes. (NIBusinessInfo)
 41% of people between 18-29 years
old say they use ad blocking software.
(Adobe)
 The average click-through rate for
display ads is 0.07 percent, while the
average click-through for retargeted
Ads is about 0.7 percent. (Invesp)
 46% of search engine marketing
professionals believe retargeting is
the most underused online marketing
technology. (Invesp)

13. Advantages of ABM Display Advertising
& Retargeting
 B2B Audience Segmentation – Submit a list of accounts and see what kind
of reach you can have before you run a program.
 ABM Program Baselining – See which accounts are and are not visiting your
website before you run a program. Where do you need more air cover?
 Global Coverage – Reach target decision makers around the world through
IP- and cookie-based targeting
 Depth of Targeting – Target via job function, persona/job interest, job
level/job title, event attendance, partner or competitor following, etc.
 Program Integration – Tie marketing automation and display advertising
activities and data together for retargeting, etc.

14. The “ZeroTouch to Close” B2B Marketing
& Sales Process
The “ZeroTouch to Lead” phase requires a platform that enables reaching and engaging
buyers at target accounts, prior to them identifying themselves and/or engaging with the
brand through any digital channel.

15. Accelerating From ZeroTouch to an
Opportunity

16. Reaching the Hard-to-Reach Buyer Tip:
Focus More on the ZeroTouch to Lead Stage
How many hard-to-reach
buyers never make it to
the lead stage due to a
lack of interaction or
engagement?

17. Reaching the Hard-to-Reach Buyer Tip:
Marketers Must Become Part Data Scientists
 Get better at understanding data,
identifying intelligence, and
gleaning insights.
 Ask yourself “why” and dig for the
answers.
 Keep current with the type of data,
reporting, and analytics out there.
