  • Lead Management System
    Lead Management System Function. Challenge. Approach A software solution that enables seamless collaboration for line-of-business activities by supportive data falls into the larger realm of Business Management Systems. The lead generation and management function popularly known as marketing and sales respectively is the customer facing division of B2B companies. Executive summary The goal of businesses is to convert maximum leads into opportunities. Organizations that work in a distributed environment fail to bridge the gap between marketing department (the lead generator) and sales department (the handler). Most businesses fail to curb this revenue seepage that affects the stakeholders and outcome of deals. Lead Management System Companies need to leverage automated technological solutions to quickly accomplish voluminous redundant work for their survival in competitive markets. Fast moving businesses have shorter durational spans for closing a deal. One person’s loss becomes other persons’ gain. A slight mishandling and you might lose a valuable opportunity to your competitor. A research by Aberdeen group suggests – the companies which automated their lead management processes have witnessed 70% increase their sales. Introduction Leads are unqualified contacts that hold a potential trade value. They are broadly classified into three categories - hot, cold and warm, depending on their level of interest. A hot lead is the one with highest conversion potential which can be termed as sales ready, a ‘warm’ lead has future conversion potentials. While a lead having marginal interest in a product or service is considered ‘cold’. Prospects are approached either manually or through automated tools. While manual approach offers a personal touch to clients it has its own limitations - the system is dependent on human input parameters.

  • Generating Qualified Leads on the Internet
    = = Generating High Quality Leads on the Internet How Manufacturers Can Dramatically Increase Marketing ROI A GlobalSpec White Paper 350 Jordan Road Troy, NY 12180 Tel: 518-880-0200 www.globalspec.com © 2006 GlobalSpec, Inc. Generating Qualified Leads on the Internet Executive Summary Traditional lead generation programs such as print ads, direct mail, trade shows, and catalogs are losing effectiveness in the manufacturing sector. They don’t connect with a target audience of engineers and technical buyers who have turned to the Internet to source products. Too often they produce unqualified leads. The result is that sales people waste time, money, and business resources trying to close deals with weak prospects who will never buy. On the other hand, high quality leads are prospects who have “raised their hand” to express a specific need for a product. They have buying authority or purchasing influence, and have indicated their intention to buy in the near term. Where can manufacturers find these high quality leads? On the Internet. Statistics show that over 90 percent of a manufacturer’s target audience is using the Internet to find the products and services they need. In turn, leading manufacturers now use the Internet to proactively generate leads. Benefits include the ability to reach a larger audience, maintain an ongoing presence, and measure results. However, not all Internet marketing is equally effective. Manufacturers must carefully choose an Internet lead generation strategy that produces only high quality leads and a significant return on investment. Generating high quality leads is only half the story; managing them is the other.

  • Business Paper: Marketing Analytics for Lead Management
    Marketing Analytics for Lead Management Maximizing the Value of Leads A UTHORS: Mark Hammond and Stephanie McReynolds C ONTRIBUTORS: Cortney Claiborne, Davythe Dicochea, Jennifer Meegan AUDIENCE: Owners of the lead management process in an organization, including vice presidents and directors of marketing, marketing program managers, and directors of sales operations. Marketing Analytics: Maximizing the Value of Sales Leads To win, Olympic relay teams need to excel on multiple fronts. Runners need a strong start out of the block, finely synchronized teamwork, and seamless exchanges of the baton. And, of course, they need speed. In business, organizations attempt their own versions of the relay race—the marketing department’s cultivation and hand-off of sales leads. Marketing may spend millions of dollars to generate thousands of leads, but those leads are frequently of poor quality and difficult to track. Teamwork between marketing and sales towards the common goal of increased revenue is often an elusive ideal. And the crucial baton exchange—the transfer of leads from marketing to sales—is frequently slow, clumsy, or fumbled completely. The use of analytic tools and techniques in marketing campaigns and lead generation is increasingly a key differentiator between a gold medal and a runner up. Leading-edge organizations are investing in a new generation of analytic applications to: ᮣ Track and optimize campaign performance ᮣ Assess cost per lead, revenue, profit, and return on investment (ROI) ᮣ Improve lead quality through segmentation ᮣ Streamline lead generation, sharing, and sales execution These web-enabled analytic applications provide managers with new visibility into the multiple mechanics and dimensions of marketing campaigns.

Today, while that’s still a key first step toward customer acquisition, Marketing’s role now extends far beyond the top of the funnel: to establishing the “sales and marketing factory.” Today’s savvy marketers are taking automation principles from the industrial age and adapting them to the information age. By leveraging marketing automation systems, customer relationship management, analytics, and most importantly, by applying factory thinking, we are now seeing progressive companies Manufacturing Demand™—and thus revenue. Think of your sales and marketing function as one integrated factory, where raw demand that’s generated at the top of the funnel from inbound and outbound marketing moves along an efficient production line through defined stages where different functions are performed to maximize conversions. This new “factory thinking” isn’t meant to imply that there’s no art or creativity to marketing anymore! In fact, just the opposite. Looking at demand generation in this way, and using the power of automation to its fullest, actually frees the marketing team to be more creative, strategic, and innovative.
