Case study 3
Aligning with sales
• Communicate where new leads are coming from and what drives revenue
• Which content is converting?
• Which events are the most productive?
• Get input on what buying signals are important
• Sales Insight
• Lead lifecycle and lead scoring
Page 24
Aligning with Sales: Lessons learned
• Don’t start pushing MQLs/Interesting Moments too soon
• Once sales sees your work as ineffectual, you’re toast
• Too few hot leads better than a bunch of junk leads
• Get input on what to score, and how important it is
• Create a sense of shared ownership
• Agree when a lead is MQL; complete an exercise
in analysing recent wins to see what the decision
makers/influencers did
• Did they click emails?
• Attend events?
• Webinars?
• When did it occur in relation to sales
meetings?... etc
Page 25
Proving Marketing’s connection to revenue: the prerequisites
• Enter costs in your program’s Setup tab (can be done/changed later if necessary)
• Ensure that contacts are connected to Opportunities in your CRM system
• Assign Acquisition Programs
• Assign “Success” in all Programs!

Getting Data into the Analyzers

in Marketo
• Pulls additional data from
Opportunities in CRM and
Interesting Moments (optional)
Opportunity Influence Analyzer
• Pulls data from Programs in
Marketo, Opportunities in CRM,
and Revenue Cycle Model
(optional)

• Make incremental, but significant tactical
changes (email deliverability, re-targeting, etc)

based on behaviours, not email blasts)
• Sit down with Sales and other people from the
business and review/plan your goals and reports
• Make yourself (and Marketing in general) visible!
Subscribe stakeholders to the Marketo reports.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Update with new cover from visual brand deck.
  • #18 The questionnaire gets the client to put down on paper some details about their current strategy, what their goals are, how they approach lead personas, and what content they have and are working on.
  • #27 How do you get the data to flow correctly into the analyzers, so you can reap the reporting benefits? Here’s how it works: The Opportunity Influence Analyzer gets information from your Marketo Programs, from the Opportunities in your CRM system such as Salesforce, and from Interesting Moments as part of Sales Insight. The Program Analyzer depends on Marketo Programs, Opportunities in your CRM, and as an option for more advanced metrics, the Revenue Cycle Model. Please ensure that your Marketo programs are set up correctly with cost periods, progression statuses and success defined. Contacts need to be attached to opportunities in your CRM for closed-loop reporting. Lastly, as a reminder, the data in the Analyzers are updated nightly.
