How to plug the leaks and build a stronger pipeline.
“Over 80% of B2B organizations struggle with a lack of synergy between the sales and marketing functions. This misalignment leads to lost revenue opportunities and leaks in the pipeline.” – Aberdeen Group
Without processes to qualify, nurture and retain leads, it’s easy for revenue to slip through the pipeline. What’s more, it can cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and marketing costs.
For successful B2B companies, effective Lead management is a key differentiator.
This presentation covers:
• How to define the customer profile
• Mapping content to the buying cycle
• Identifying the gaps in the sales process
• How to create effective nurture programs
• And more!

Dana Therrien, Practice Leader, Sales Operations Strategies SiriusDecisions
Senior business leaders who wish to drive revenue and growth must prioritize close alignment between sales and marketing. However, siloed processes, data and even technology can hamper growth efforts – while priorities, budgets and senior personalities often remain in conflict.
To drive common process adoption, some companies are championing a change that introduces the notion of Revenue Operations. Although the term has various interpretations and applications, Revenue Operations brings the operational work of sales, marketing and customer success together under one roof. Revenue Operations is about taking a more holistic, end-to-end approach to managing operations across an organization. However, such an organizational change has considerable implications for both marketing and sales operations functions.

Managing the customers you can't afford to losePLB68
Presented by Peter Browne, Head of Strategy,
Gordian Business, Sydney, Australia
Competition is becoming more intense, products and services increasingly commoditised and buyers more knowledgeable. At the same time your largest customers want better quality and services at lower prices. As industries consolidate, your largest customers represent a growing proportion of your revenue and profit. So you cannot risk losing your largest accounts. To reduce this critical risk you need a disciplined approach to identify and manage the customers you can't afford to lose.
Participants of this webinar will receive a complimentary SEGMENTING ACCOUNTS TOOL which will show you how to manage your most important accounts in four different ways.
Peter Browne will show you how to engage with your key customers to enable your company to build barriers to entry against competitors, and retain and grow your most valuable customers.
In this session Henry Bruce, President at The Rock Annand Group, will provide some framework for getting started with lead nurturing and lead scoring. He will also share tips and suggestions for improving conversion rates from leads to opportunities to closed deals.
Marketing agencies are increasingly being asked by clients to help generate more and better leads for their sales teams. Yet, very few agencies are equipped to even talk to their clients' sales and marketing management teams about these needs. Very few agencies have experience generating leads online, let alone helping sales and marketing teams function together as one unified team with common goals and mutual accountability. In this recorded webinar, you'll learn how to help clients align sales and marketing processes, goals and messaging.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

12. Marketing Costs
› Scenario:
• Let’s say cost per “lead” (i.e., someone who registered to get
something – whitepaper, etc.) is $45 and the company generated 100
leads in this campaign.
• If nothing is done with the leads generated:
Monthly Yearly
Cost per Lead $45.00
Total Number of Leads 100 1,200
Aggregate Cost $4,500 $54,000
Leads Picked Up by Sales 20% 20 240
Leads Left by Sales 80% 80 960
Aggregate Cost of Worked Leads $900 $10,800
Aggregate Cost of Leads Not Worked $3,600 $43,200
Bottom Line: Marketing is wasting $43,200 of their marketing budget annually
and $3,600 monthly due to lack of sales follow up based on the scenario above.
13. Sales Costs
2 Part Cost:
1) Calling Leads That Won’t Buy:
- 73% of leads are wasted due to no opportunity
for a discussion
Total amount wasted = $30,125
2) Sourcing Leads:
- 1.5 hours per 8-hour day equals almost 20% of

14. Lost Revenue Opportunity
› Industry Statics:
• Percentage of leads that become qualified is 15%.
• 20 leads worked, 15% become qualified leads = 3
• Of the qualified leads, 80% become forecastable opportunities.
• 3 qualified leads, 80% opportunities = 2.4 opportunities
• Then 20% of forecastable opportunities close.
• 20% of 2.4 opportunities = .48 sales close
• Assume $20,000 per sale = $9,600 in sales

› What LeadLife Customers Have Found:
• Percentage of leads that become qualified is 78%.
• 20 leads worked, 78% become qualified leads = 15.6
• Of the qualified leads, 80% become forecastable
opportunities.
• 15.6 qualified leads, 80% opportunities = 12.48
opportunities
• Then 20% of the forecastable opportunities close.
• 20% of 12.48 opportunities = 2.496 sales close
• Assume $20,000 per sale = $49,920 in sales closed
Bottom Line: Companies are missing out on $40,320 in revenue due to
not having a lead management system.
