LTEN Qstream Webinar: The 3 C's of Successfully Linking Training to Business ...QstreamInc
For years, the Holy Grail of training has been the ability to go beyond information delivery and simple skills assessment to identify a direct, positive impact on business results. Sales managers in particular are frequent victims, frustrated by their inability to associate training investments to sales performance and new revenue acquisition.
The good news is that in the current era of Big Data, mobile and gamification, managers have powerful new options for monitoring and measuring learning transfer, making it possible for trainers and educators to document with increasing precision what sales teams really know, and then make that data available and actionable for managers.
Join LTEN and Qstream for this interactive webinar reviewing how to apply predictive analytics to training outcomes, helping teams connect the dots between sales metrics such as engagement, performance and content proficiency to actual business results.

Given the evolution of B2B buying cycles, sales managers must continually acquire and adopt new skills to effectively lead, compete and win. Yet too often, when evaluating their team’s performance, sales managers focus exclusively on performance metrics such as quarterly bookings or quota achievement.
Of course, these are important—but they are also lagging indicators. If you have no deals closing today, the reality is that your team has been under-performing for months. So how can sales managers identify and measure the most critical leading indicators: the skills and behaviors required today to build sales success for tomorrow, and the long-term?
Qstream defines a new generation of sales performance indicators giving rise to the data-driven sales manager. We also share strategies that will enable forward-thinking managers to:
- Assess and strengthen the sales capabilities that matter most
- Validate and develop a profile of their top performers
- Use data to determine leadership priorities
- Leverage real-time analytics for more effective coaching and development

“How to build a profitable partnership for Fintechs"Signzy
Partnerships offer businesses a mix of opportunities - enabling strategic initiatives, technology, a performance boost, improved customer experience & retention. Therefore today, when the Financial Services Industry is facing a significant shift, developing a value-aligned Partnership that focuses on common goals and complementary strengths is the key to positive outcomes.
Strategic Partnerships are one of the fundamentals to improve business outcomes. Partnering is no longer a viable option but a necessity.

How do you measure up? A crowd-sourced, cross-pollinated discussion on evalua...ProductCamp Boston
As a product marketer how do you evaluate if you’re being effective? If you’re in marcomms, product management, sales or the CEO how do you evaluate if the role is being effective and properly supported?
Is product marketing judged on volume output such as leads, events, webpages or trainings produced? Are you being driven by “optics and politics” and “the way things are done here “or jumping on the latest trends and content tactics du jour.
How do you determine if your priorities are in the right place? If you are over or understaffed, if there are bottlenecks or organizational issues that inhibit effectiveness. Is your measure of success different at different stages of product/company development? Does product marketing in a start-up or for a new product get measured in the same way as a more mature one?
Are there common metrics regardless of company size or product maturity?
We’ll propose some straw man metrics and then organize the chaos that will likely ensue. So come ready to participate!

Editor's Notes
Because sales and marketing teams have different goals and expectations, we are holding this webinar to discuss how to improve sales and marketing alignment, share tips on how Marketo does it and then end with a live demonstration from David on how Marketo Sales Insight can empower reps and help manage leads and contacts.
Another tip is to get Agreement on definitions. You need to decide what metrics matter and what management wants to see.
It is important to have a clear definition for a lead, MQL, SQL, and opp.
For example, what is a lead?
Is it someone that stops by your booth to get a prize, or is it someone that reads your blog, or is it someone that attends a webinar? Having a clear definition will help avoid confusion and problems in the future.

What will Marketo do for me as sales?
A few years ago CA Technologies started with a very basic set-up that might sound familiar: they participated in top funnel activities and shared content to collect names, and those “leads” would randomly get passed to sales. In addition, those names would also get dumped into a batch-and-blast mass email drip.
Challenge: CA Technologies had no control over what and how leads went through the funnel. So the “leads” they collected were mostly unqualified sales leads, which diminished the value Sales attributed to Marketing-generated leads and diluted the impact of Marketing’s efforts on revenue.
Solution:
The first step was to connect all existing leads and lead sources. Marketo became the central database to tie all leads and lead behaviors together, tightly integrated with their CRM, SalesForce.
Marketing worked with sales to classify and score leads based on criteria they agreed was important.
Marketing also created customized nurturing programs around the needs of Sales. Some leads take as long as a year to be “sales ready,” so the CA team views the customer lifecycle as a “team sport,” where marketing takes the lead until the relationship is right for sales hand-off.
How do they determine when the time is right? Marketing rapidly ramped up their sophistication once they aligned on what “good” leads looked like – they built 23 nurturing programs in 1 month. Each of the 23 nurtures has either score based transition rules or program status based transition rules to ensure prospects only accelerate to the next stage/stream if they are interacting with the delivered content.
CA’s nurture qualification is based on activities such as downloading a white paper from the corporate website and the corresponding product interest is stamped on their lead record. Each nurture program ranges from 3 to 6 streams categorized into Awareness, Consideration, Peer Analysis, Evaluation and Qualification set to the cadence of once a week.
Lead sources are connected through Marketo so they can be developed to the next stage. For example, unknown leads are put through Real-Time Personalization to get better customer profiling. Contacts are put through multi-step nurturing campaigns and Sales is notified when a contact achieves Marketing Qualified Lead status. This allows Sales to only concentrate on the most qualified leads.
Results: An efficient, well-aligned team meant sales started getting better leads, and pipeline grew overall. Marketing-sourced pipeline grew 3X, and ultimately created a 400% increase in conversion rate for MQLs to Sales ready in one year.
