ABOUT BRYAN SHAW

Looking Unified
Iraq : 2006-2007 Looking Intimidating
Rochester: 2009-‐2011 Looking Technical
Dell Aus?n 2011-‐Now
BACK TO THE BEGINNING: 2009 § People began loading stuff into
Salesforce.com
§ Sales-‐ready leads ranged from CIO event a2endees to 3rd party purchased list of names
§ Leads took 4-‐8 weeks to get to Sales
§ Sales took weeks to follow-‐up
§ Then we read The Lead Response Management Study…
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
