Companies now have better ways to attract, nurture, and close leads – ultimately due to the data made available by improvements in technology. Data not only gives you better insight into HOW to interact with your prospects, but also WHEN to interact with them. Persona building, lead scoring, and database segmentation are just a few critical parts of your nurturing strategy that shouldn’t be overlooked. You can have the greatest content in the world, but if the message goes to the wrong prospects, or reaches them at the wrong time, it won’t translate to meaningful results. The most important aspect of Demand Generation for a marketer to understand is that success in this segment is not just about leads. While acquiring leads is important, a savvy Demand Gen professional knows that the ROI that results from those leads is the most important factor to watch. As reporting tools develop, leadership will view marketing ROI as a much more significant contributor to revenue. 5 Hiring Challenges In recent years, Demand Generation has become one of the most quickly growing sectors in the marketing industry. Depending on the business, Demand Gen is typically divided into two components: the campaign/program side and the operations side. As this part of the industry grows, there will be more and more demand for experienced professionals to step in and build data-driven marketing strategies in all industries. While Demand Generation is one of the most popular career paths in the marketing industry, it is not without its hiring challenges. One of the biggest challenges hiring managers face is the competition for talent. “There are simply more jobs than there are qualified people to fill them,” said one Bay Area expert. It’s a candidate’s market and organizations in need of Demand Gen professionals will need to differentiate themselves to attract and retain top talent. One of the other major challenges in hiring for Demand Generation roles is finding the necessary technological skills for the job. Marketing Automation requires a lot of technical experience, and it can be difficult to find candidates who have extensive experience with the necessary technology and tools. Along with finding technical experts, hiring managers should look for professionals who know the limitations of reporting tools and understand that the B2B space requires a level of trust between a business and its vendor/partner. That same level of trust also benefits B2C companies in their interactions with consumers. Look for Demand Gen professionals with an expert handle on lead-nurturing email campaigns who know how to build up that trust and convert it to sales. 6 Industry Trends There are a number of industry trends that set certain companies apart in the competition for talent. One Bay Area expert believes the following are the three trends that could make a company more attractive to top Demand Gen professionals: Account-Based Marketing, Predictive Analytics, and Funnel Analytic Tools. Account-Based Marketing Account-Based Marketing refers to the targeting of select accounts, as well as the decision makers within those accounts, to market directly to them. According to one Bay Area expert, “The ABM model is essentially for targeting enterprise companies. At the enterprise level, you have a committee of at least 5-15 people you need to influence to purchase your product or solution. Companies like Engagio, founded by Jon Miller (Co-founder of Marketo), Lean Data, LeadSpace, Termimus, and Bizible are all trying to help write the first chapter in the Account Based Marketing history books.” Predictive Analytics One Bay Area Demand Generation expert said, “Predictive Analytics is the ability to analyze your database of closed or lost leads and then analyze your existing pipeline or lead funnel, and identify which leads have the highest propensity to close.” What makes Predictive Analytics (PA) so complex is that, once peripheral technologies are added to the tech stack, one must assume that the implementation between Marketing Automation and CRM systems, as well as the data within those systems, is “clean.” PA solutions are, by nature, dependent on how the MA and CRM are built, as well as on how clean the data within those systems is. Regardless of different marketers’ stance on Predictive Analytics, it reinforces what we already know: better data leads to more accurate reporting. Funnel Analytics Tools There is a limit to the reporting capabilities of Marketing Automation and CRM systems. The typical lead doesn’t click the “buy it now” button; leads need to be nurtured and trust needs to be developed in order for them to convert to sales. That is where Funnel Analytics Tools come in. According to one expert, “The real problem Demand Generation marketers have, is how to attribute all the various marketing touch points to ROI. Some Marketing Automation tools make it difficult for marketers to get a good sense of what funnel velocity looks like. There are various companies out there trying to tackle the lack of deep marketing analytics that can accurately attribute ROI and a multitude of touch points.” 7 Making Sense of Salary Trends On the following page, we detail role definitions and expected salary ranges for a number of Demand Generation positions. There are two things you’ll notice right away about these salary ranges. The first is that the widest range of salaries is in the startup space. This is because bonuses and equity are generally factored into the salary equation more significantly in startups than in any other type of organization; our salary guide does not factor in any bonuses or equity. The second notable trend is that the manager-level positions also have a wide salary range. Manager-level titles are typically the most variable and overused. This means the salary ranges take into account those people that have “manager titles,” but may not necessarily be managers. Another contributing factor to note is that those with a “Senior Manager” title are also considered in this category. In an industry as fast-paced and ever-evolving as Demand Generation, there can be a variety of hiring needs, depending heavily on company type and capability. For example, a smaller company may require a Demand Gen professional to understand not only overall strategy, but also be a technical SEO and SEM expert, due to their need to run the business as lean as possible. Larger companies may have the ability to split those capabilities between multiple roles. Either way, strategy and tactics will need to work hand-in-hand to effectively deliver the desired results. *Note: The salary information collected for this guide was rounded to the nearest thousand. The ranges on the following pages continue with the same pattern. 8 Demand Generation Salaries & Role Descriptions To fully appreciate the impact of Demand Generation, one must first understand how the modern sales and marketing process works.

  • Why Use Marketing Automation Marketing Automation Technology Goes Far Beyond Traditional Email Marketing
    Why Use Marketing Automation Marketing automation technology goes far beyond traditional email marketing. Marketing automation is all about using software to automate (often repetitive) marketing activities. Tasks such as email marketing, posting on social media, and even responding to form submissions all can be handled by automation. Beyond the time and efficiency gains—marketing automation does all of this (and more) while providing a more personalized experience for your customers. At its core, marketing automation gives your brand the ability to provide a better customer experience on a granular level, at scale. With the power to customize the experience across every one of your marketing channels, now you can deliver the right message to the right customers at the right time. To nurture conversions, build trust, and extend the lifetime value of your customer base, you need an “always-on” solution that can take every touchpoint of the customer journey into account. Marketing automation is that solution. AUTOMATING LEAD MANAGEMENT Managing your leads and contacts effectively is one of the best things you can do when it comes to improving your overall ROI. Customers want a custom experience from every brand they interact with. To provide them the value they want, your CRM is where everything begins. Beyond this, keeping your CRM up to date and enriched with the most recent client profile data is the first strategic step in marketing automation success. Robust Lead Profiles Your lead and contact profiles become robust data centers where every customer interaction can be tracked, noted, and leveraged to provide deeper programmatic (and more valuable) brand interactions.

  • Using Data Management to Enhance the Effectiveness of Database
    SUGI 29 Data Warehousing, Management and Quality Paper 102-29 Good data makes good marketing: Using data management to enhance the effectiveness of database marketing campaigns John Walker, Bell Mobility, Mississauga, ON Gavin Day, DataFlux Corporation, Cary, NC ABSTRACT The goal of database marketing should be to build relationships. When you create stronger, tighter relationships with your customers, they are likely to buy more often, purchase at a higher price, and try new products when they become available. Unfortunately, poor data quality hinders many database marketing efforts. If your customer information contains incorrect, duplicate, or incomplete data, you cannot effectively reach your entire universe of contacts—and can waste time and resources contacting the wrong address or phone number. INTRODUCTION This paper provides a real-world example of the technology and techniques required to verify, merge and cleanse customer data prior to starting database marketing efforts. By performing extensive data quality routines on new and existing customer contact information, companies can provide more reliable data to its telemarketing and direct marketing groups—and allow them to contact more people than in a traditional database marketing campaign. As a result, database marketing efforts can contact more prospective customers. And help you elevate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. DATABASE MARKETING DEFINED Database marketing is the process of using data to deliver marketing messages to specific target markets. As you refine the message, you can more effectively change the behavior of each market. And the more specific you can be about the market you intend to reach, the less it can cost to successfully reach each member of that market.
