Title: The Definitive Guide to Lead Nurturing
A Marketo Workbook
This is a 43 page workbook (yes, there is some work to do), divided into four parts:
Part One: What is Lead Nurturing.
Part Two: Lead Nurturing Basics.
Part Three: Advanced Lead Nurturing.
Part Four: Calculating the ROI of Lead Nurturing.
This is meant to be a workbook, not a “read it and drop it,” book. They make a good case why nurturing is needed in B2B when they state that companies that excel at lead nurturing:
• Generate 50% more sales-ready leads at 33% lower cost per lead.
• Reduce the percent of marketing-generated leads that are ignored by sales
(from as high as 80% to as low as 25%).
• Raise win rates on marketing-generated leads (7% points higher) and reduce
“no decisions” (6% points lower).
• Have more sales representatives make quota (9% higher) and a shorter ramp up time for new reps (10% decrease).
Read it, pass it along to senior management. You must be a member of SLMA to download a copy at the SLMA site, although no registration is required, or go to: www.marketo.com/dg2-lead-nurturing
Title: The Definitive Guide to B2B Social Media
A Marketo Workbook
This is a 48 page workbook divided into five parts:
Part One: What is social Media and Why does My Business Need It?
Part Two: Laying the Foundation
Part Three: B2B Social Media Tactics and Metrics.
Part Four: Incorporating Social Media at Every Stage of the Revenue Cycle.
Part Five: The ROI of Social Media.
This is good; really good. Marketo lays the groundwork for why B2B can no longer ignore social media and they make a great case for how to measure what some say isn't measurable. This is a fast, must-read for the company president.
