Contribution of Marketing Automation Software in Lead Generation & Management In B2B marketing, keeping a healthy sales pipeline is a much desired objective of every organization. This literally means that only when “warm” leads are pursued, firms can sustain themselves in today’s highly competitive marketplace. But then finding good business leads is not a cake walk either. For firms struggling to keep their sales funnel buzzing, a marketing automation tool can really help in such situations. Earlier, B2B websites have mostly used their websites as an online company brochure only. All marketing activities, be it online or offline, direct a number of company’s prospects to their website, which used to go unnoticed. But today, marketers have realized that a good amount of traffic can be generated to the corporate website and if they were left untended, the company could actually lose out on getting to know almost 95% of the people who have shown some level of interest because ther

5 Important Tips for Content Marketing Content plays a vital role in driving prospects to a website. It helps to nurture trust by sharing valuable information with prospects so that they take the right purchasing decision. The main purpose of content sharing is lead generation. Once leads are driven to the company website, they can be nurtured with educative content. However, B2B marketers must ensure the following mistakes are avoided in order to be successful in their lead generation efforts. 1. It is important for marketers to not blow their own trumpet. If every piece of content that comes out sounds like a sales pitch it only scares the prospect away. This is especially true of email marketing campaigns because there is always the threat of an email ending up in the spam folder. So, it is imperative to remember that hard-selling and self-promoting content can have the same effect on prospects as well. 2. Today online marketing has a wider reach than offline marketing.

Generating Leads with Content & Social Media One of the most effective ways to generate leads is through intelligent content marketing. Some of the best practices for content marketing are as follows: 1. Company website must inform visitors on what the company stands for. Each page on the website must have a purpose, and so should the content. The content created must have specific focus such as information sharing, selling, brand building, trust inducing, SEO, contact building etc. 2. Provide only as much information as is required. It is proven theory that online readers have the minimum attention span (which is hardly a few seconds) and so, when the information provided is not concise, readers get bored and may never come back again. 3. Content needs to be tuned based on the buying stage of the prospect. To identify the buying stage, marketers need to use intelligent marketing automation systems that will deduce intent based on website activity of the visitor. Therefore,

Newsletter Content Best Practices for B2B Marketers B2B marketing largely depends on how well content is shared with prospects, online. Newsletters are a great way to constantly keep in touch with existing customers. Also, by sharing newsletters in social media sites companies can keep prospective customers informed on latest company news and product updates as well. Content expectations should be first set up once a reader has subscribed to the company’s newsletters. This way, the company can make sure that there is continued support from the recipient. So, when a welcome email is sent, include the following in it. ● When is it delivered – State the frequency of newsletter delivery (Monthly or Weekly, Bi-weekly, Quarterly). ● What will be delivered – State the type of content he can expect every month (news updates, articles, quiz, puzzles, etc). ● Privacy policy - Display privacy protection certifications near sign-up forms. Newsletters must have engagi

Improving Lead Generation Efforts Using Marketing Automation Tools It is important for B2B marketers to focus their lead generation efforts on ‘sales-ready’ or ‘marketingqualified’ leads. However, there is another important group that should not be ignored –which is not-yetsales-ready leads. Although most of the not-yet-sales ready leads are captured, they leak out of the Sales funnel during lead nurturing, because of which sales teams lose out on prospects that may have become leads in the long run. Also, sometimes no action is taken on such leads because there are not enough marketing campaigns targeted by Marketing teams, leading to Marketing and Sales disconnect as well. It is important that continual communication programs are specifically designed for the this segment so that they are constantly kept informed, irrespective of whether they are responding or not. The following analytics can be drawn from lead generation efforts so that the not-yet-ready leads can also be addre
