Overview:

Sales and Marketing are responsible for managing a predictable, reliable demand generation pipeline that produces higher value opportunities and maximizes revenue. The traditional approach to the pipeline- Awareness, Interest, Demand, Action or the more modified version of this pipeline – Awareness, Interest, Consideration, Purchase – is outdated.

The customer is no longer a passive recipient or a sidelined spectator. In today’s environment, customers are actively engaged in the buying process. Today we leverage a mix of vehicles from search engines to customer generated blogs and reviews, from online communities to social networks, and from broadcast to personalization designed to create engagement and enhance experience. Yet our language related to the customer buying pipeline hasn’t kept up.

Recession. Limited resources. Budget cuts. Pricing pressures. Diminishing returns on advertising. Poor response rates. Low conversion rates. Prospects who don’t want to engage your sales staff. Stiff competition. The challenges facing B2B marketers today are many. There is no “business as usual” any more. Traditional marketing techniques just do not work as well as they once did. And that is creating great demand for scrappy, street-smart marketers who know how to do more with less.
