To better understand why prediction is called for…

Why Predictive Is Needed


15


Definition of Terms AQL A lead qualified through

progressive profiling and lead scoring in marketing automation


16




TQL A lead that is qualified by teleprospecting and deliverable to sales


17




TQL A lead that is qualified by teleprospecting and deliverable to sales

SQL A lead that sales has vetted and is putting into pipeline


18


Conversion % AQL > TQL 10%-30%


19

Conversion % AQL > TQL 10%-30%

TQL > SQL 10%-30%



20

Conversion from AQL to SQL = 1%-10%



21

Today, most of that qualification involves teleprospecting and

sales calls



22

The Future of B-to-B Lead Development

Find clues that exist out in the world, which reliably point to

qualifying criteria & buying signals you would ask the decision-maker about if you could get him/ her on

the phone?

The 67% Myth (and why it matters)

67% …of the buyer’s journey ___________

67% is over before prospects talk to sales


32


67% is over before prospects talk to sales X


33


67% occurs through interactions with your digital assets

The Buyer’s Journey – A Long, Winding and Often Hidden Road

“Oh, hey. Long time no see…”


55


“Thanks again for all that great information. Super helpful…”


56


“… So… yeah. Now’s not a good time… I just bought from your competitor.”


57


“But…. But… that’s not possible.”


58


“You’re only in stage 3 of the buyer’s journey…”


59


“We just degraded your score for inactivity.”


60


“I mean… have you SEEN your engagement score!!!”

4 Truths About The Buyer’s Journey

SiriusPerspective:


62

The Reality of Buyers’ Journeys To really understand buyer’s journeys, marketers need to see more

than what interaction with their own assets will tell them.

Sometimes you see them and

sometimes you don’t

SiriusPerspective:


63



They continue even when prospects stop interacting with you.

hBp://explodingdog.com/Ptle/thanksfornotanswering.html

SiriusPerspective:


64



Inactivity with respect to your assets may mean many things, and lack of interest is only one of those things

SiriusPerspective:


65



It is critical to understand where buyer’s are and to meet them where they are with relevant content


66

Summarizing Fo Far

1.  Buyer’s journeys are rarely linear 2.  Often happen out of our line of sight 3.  And require that we track prospect progress

outside of our digital walls

Adoption and Usage So Far

SiriusPerspective:


81

MAP-based Lead Scoring Is Far From Universally Adopted Even among users of marketing automation, just over two-thirds of

organizations are scoring leads.

16% Don’t score leads

68% Score leads

16% plan to score in 6 months

16% Don’t score

leads

SiriusPerspective:


82

Most organizations that have implemented lead scoring do not have a viable model, and are therefore unable to realize full value of scoring.

MAP-based Lead Scoring Isn’t Impressing Sales

60%

40% 68%

Score leads

16% plan to score in 6 months

16% Don’t score

leads


83

Perceived Benefits of PLS

84


Of respondents said they would buy predictive lead scoring again. 98%


85

86

The Growth of Predictive Lead Scoring

The number of organizations adopting predictive is

growing rapidly


87

The Adoption of Predictive Lead Scoring


88

Is Failure a Prerequisite?

Rules—based lead scoring failure is not a pre-requisite for predictive lead scoring success.
