“A whopping 68% of B2B organizations have not identified their funnel.” MarketingSherpa


SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE

Marketing talks about:

• “Volume”

• “Activities”

• “Leads”

Sales talks about:

• “Quality”

• “Revenue”

• “Opportunities”

“61% of B2B marketers send all leads directly to Sales; however, only 27% of those leads will be qualified.”

MarketingSherpa


SCORE LEADS TO TRACK FUNNEL ADVANCEMENT

Secret: Lead scoring is easy-to-implement but hard to leverage.

Make sure you are scoring both fit and behavior.

Still not working? Try using behavior triggers, not scores.

“79% of marketers have not established lead scoring.” Marketing Sherpa


NURTURE LEADS TO MAXIMIZE INVESTMENT

“Companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50% more sales ready leads at 33% lower cost.” Forrester

Tip: Before you attack the middle of the funnel, standardize your data with your marketing automation platform by role for better segmentation and more consistent and effective messaging.

DEFINE FUNNEL STAGES TOGETHER

• What is an “inquiry”? A “prospect”? A “lead”?

• What is a “Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)”?

• What does the handoff between Marketing and Sales look like?

“Only 25% of leads are legitimate and should advance to sales.” Gleanster Research
