No pressure!Its what your CEO expects from you and how you are measured in terms of success.The problem is…
- #6 Creating a sustainable marketing machine that fuels business is hard.Direct marketing is expensive and generates un-predictable results at best, and is hard to scale. You typically have to push a button to generate a lead.Competitors are making a lot more noise in the market with their online marketing programs.I’m sure you’ve experienced that marketing budgets are in constant flux. Your budget this quarter could be cut in half next quarter. And you’re stuck in the situation of trying to do more with less.And buyers have new ways of reseraching and finding solutions across their personal and professional networks with growing participation in social networks
- #7 How do you get more of your new leads into your funnel today? Is it mostly from direct response efforts like Google Adwords, trade shows, email campaigns and webinars? Does your outbound/inbound marketing split look like this?Unfortunately, more marketers are seeing this ratio for their leads. Ideally this ratio would be flipped.

Make it easier for your buyers to discover your company during their early online research.The second step is to raise your visibility and awareness across social and professional networks with social marketing campaigns.The third step is to identify and engage with your buyers as early as possible. This requires the ability to capture someone’s interest when they are ready to step up and introduce themselves which means having compelling offers and landing pages to capture their information from both your website and Facebook pages. But it also requires alerting sales about each prospect and giving them the insight into that buyer’s needs that they need to guide your buyers into your sales funnel.Finally, you need to make this repeatable. The only way you’re going to be able to increase your volume of inbound leads is if you understand the paths and process your best prospects use to find you during their research process.
