The Changing B2B Market

Today’s B2B Buyer
• The way buyers buy has changed
• Buyers are more educated and looking
to sales much further down the buying
cycle
• Buyers are turning to online and social
as sources for decision making
• More than one buyer – buying units
• Looking to each other as sources of
information

Today’s B2B Marketing
• Issues with Measurement & Acquisition
– 70-80% of leads never get follow-up
– 52% of marketers say lead generation is their
biggest challenge
– More than 50% of marketing teams cannot track
ROI on program spend
• Shrinking budgets
• More pressure to justify spend
• Shift from traditional marketing to
automated, online, inbound & social
• Increased pervasive use of technology
• Marketing asked to assist in pipeline
acceleration & sales enablement

The Response . . . . Adapt!
• Marketers must manage and
engage that relationship
– Buyers want a 1-1 relationship
• It’s Lead Management not Lead
Generation
• It will affect every area of your
role as a marketer
– Sales interaction
– Buyer interaction & communication
•

•
Content Management & Marketing
Inbound Marketing Management
Social Media Strategy
– Internal marketing & sales process
– How you utilize your technology
– How you work & think as a marketer

How To?
• So how does an
organization make the
change and bridge the
gap from the old to the
new?
• What needs to be done to
ensure a buyer centric
approach?
• What processes need to
be developed?
©Copyright 2011 The Annuitas Group
A Process Based Lead Management
Approach
“Developing an internal lead management
process is key to marketing & sales
success”
“Nothing is more important than
process when it comes to building a best
in-class lead management engine.”
“Companies that focus on improving lead
management processes will increase
revenue 5% to 10%.”

Lead Management – What it isn’t
• Not just scoring and lead
nurturing
• It is not a practice of individual
silo’s, everything feeds into the
next and has to be looked at
holistically
• Not technology, but supported
by it.

Lead Management – What it is
• The operational response to the buyers
power
• It's a process not a program that includes

How old are the records?

and what team will own it

prospect data?

Lead Nurturing
• Building a relationship with your prospect
– not all responses are ready to buy
immediately
• Nurturing allows for pipeline acceleration
• Sales that were nurtured provide a 47%
higher order value than non-nurtured
sales.

Lead Routing
• Determine how marketing will pass
qualified leads to sales
• Avoid the black hole, know how the leads
will be tracked
• Provide sales the ability to pass back for
further nurturing
• Develop SLA’s and Business Rules to
ensure proper follow-up and no fall out
rate
©Copyright 2011 The Annuitas Group
Content Development Process
• Define the buying cycle of your
customers
• Development of content maps along the
buyers journey
• List current available offers and those
that need to be created
• Determining the proper offers that
correlate to the defined buying stages
• The content process is dynamic and
needs continual attention and focus

Metrics
• Know why you are running a campaign or
marketing program
• Develop benchmarks and KPI’s for your
organization and measure against them
quarterly
• Use the metrics to shape the future
• Pull both marketing and sales metrics for
a complete 360o view of your organization
©Copyright 2011 The Annuitas Group
Automate the Process
• Manual run processes will fail
• Process based automation will allow you
to improve the bottom line and improve
value
• Automation is the only way to streamline
1-1 buyer dialog
• Automation is well beyond feature &
function, it enables the relationship
process with the dialog
©Copyright 2011 The Annuitas Group
Potential Roadblocks
• Executive Resistance
• Fear and Turf Guarding
• Sales Resistance
• Boiling the Ocean
©Copyright 2011 The Annuitas Group
One more thing…
• Dream big, start small, scale
appropriately
• Process equals behavior
change – be ready
• Include Sales in the process –
This bears repeating
