WEAK LEADS: MARKETING’S CONTRIBUTION

2011-12 Average

           

STEP 1: NAME KEY OBJECTIVE & IDENTIFY CHALLENGES Key Objective. Customers are looking for responsiveness from Dell – our mission is to exceed their expectations.

Challenges: Automation is not easy. §  Most lead generation is still “offline”

§  Massive direct Sales team is account-based – lookups required

§  No qualification team: marketers must write detailed instructions for Sales follow-up

§  Events and 3rd party vendors are not optimized for speed

§  All or nothing approach to “online” automation caused quality issues or lead leakage

STEP 2: ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES Set SLAs for offline leads and add “concierge” service for online leads

Measure Baseline. Expose Flaws. Fix Process. Repeat.

Vendors Marketers Operations

Sales • Enforce 7-day turnaround for event leads

• Update vendor agreements

• Require personal touch by marketing within minutes for online leads

• Reroute online “non-lead gen” inquiries

• Copy Sales on replies to expedite follow-up

SPEED SUCCESS STORIES: OFFLINE LEADS

more targeted list of Leads •  Higher Follow-Up: Alignment with Sales team on

follow-up procedures (and lead quality encouraged follow-up)

•  Higher Conversion: Very detailed “Next Steps” for Sales and “Supporting Information” about the campaign

SPEED SUCCESS STORIES: ONLINE LEADS

Why did we see such an improvement Online? •  More SRL’s: No Online lead leakage as all leads are

automatically loaded to SFDC •  Higher Follow-Up: An “Online Lead Concierge” is

100% dedicated to immediately contacting leads, routing to Sales, and contacting reps for follow-up
