Demand Gen Report

“It’s like drinking from a fire hose!” “I’m busier than a one-armed paper-hanger!” “How do I cut through all the noise?”

Do phrases like these describe the challenges your B2B sales organization faces? Today, many sales professionals struggle under an avalanche of data about prospects, customers and markets. Yet instead of making their jobs easier, the sheer volume of this data threatens to overwhelm them.

While the view of “prospects to leads to opportunities to wins” is still a relevant view of the B2B sales and marketing pipeline, traditional models for effective pipeline management is obsolete. A two-dimensional view of marketing-generated leads that sales reps then develop does not accommodate the dynamics of the new multi-touch, buyer-in-control process that requires continual inside sales/field sales/marketing/buyer interaction. Nor does it enable sales and marketing execs to have clear visibility into their pipeline strengths and weaknesses.

This webinar addresses the challenge of how to achieve better pipeline optics that clearly demonstrate opportunities for improved lead generation and lead development practices, which result in optimized pipeline volume, quality, conversions, velocity, predictability and marketing ROI.

One half of B2B marketers say their demand generation budgets will grow by more than 20% in 2013, and they will spend those dollars on social media as well as developing white papers, webinars and improving their web sites. Those are just a few of the findings in Demand Gen Report’s 2013 Benchmark Survey.

As marketers face increasing pressure to contribute to the sales pipeline, they are centering their content strategies around efforts that will generate quality leads.
