Spring 2015 – Big Marketing Challenges to Overcome• Quickly grow our pipeline without substantially increasing
budget
• Get better engagement and results from current campaigns
• Close more opportunities
@juliastead
With any given marketing campaign (trade show, CPL programs, inbound leads), only a small % were actually potential buyers of Invoca.
@juliastead
= low program engagement= low lead to opportunity conversion rates= no clear way to scale pipeline growth without major increase in marketing budget
@juliastead
The Solution: ABM
= low program engagement= low lead to opportunity conversion rates= no clear way to scale pipeline growth without major increase in marketing budget
