New imperative: Sales & Marketing alignment

www.act-on.com | @ActOnSoftware | #ActOnSW

Poll: How aligned are your Sales and Marketing teams?

• We’re completely in sync• We rarely speak• We talk a lot, but it could be better• It’s complicated

Lack of alignment is a business problem

8%Number of B to B companies who say that they have tight alignment--Forrester Research 92%

Which means that most companies do not have tight alignment

Case study: FayeBSG

Before Act-On + Sugar

• We had a marketing automation tool, but… We didn’t have an end-to-end lead management system

Didn’t communicate well with our CRM, Sugar Couldn’t efficiently capture leads to be actionable by Sales Couldn’t nurture cold leads, or track communications and

activities of our existing contacts and customers No ability to identify the hottest prospects

www.act-on.com | @ActOnSoftware | #ActOnSW

Now, we capture leads, provide intelligence

• Act-On website visitor tracking provides a trail

• Act-On forms capture lead contact information

• Lead data pushed from Act-On into Sugar

• All lead activity goes with the lead contact information

• My sales team has full access and visibility in Sugar

Example of nurture program

• Segmented by industry• Advertising & Specialty

• Triggered by engagement with other campaigns

• Act-On did the rest• Email notification when target

became a lead

• Passed to Sugar when engagement criteria are met

• Website now a lead management engine• Inbound leads captured, appropriate action taken

• Campaigns professionally done• Easy to use, no need for agency or dedicated

FayeBSG: lead-to-revenue system

www.act-on.com | @ActOnSoftware | #ActOnSW

Result: happy & productive Sales people

“Since we added Act-On to Sugar, I am now able to quickly and easily access a wealth of marketing information in a single snapshot. The more in sync I am about how a potential customer is interacting with our web site and our company marketing initiatives, the better prepared I am to have a meaningful, relevant conversation.”
