White Paper: Plugging the Gap Between Lead Generation and Marketing Automation

Good demand generation requires human insight and interaction. Here’s why

Rochester, New York, January 05, 2012

Relationships are about people. People make buying decisions. Sometimes that’s forgotten in B2B, where we tend to focus on job responsibilities, cost savings, profitability, efficiency, and a host of other very rational, very logical attributes.

But it’s the human component, the emotional relationship you build with your prospects, that ultimately closes the sale.

In this white paper, authored by Catalyst managing director Jeff Cleary, we'll look at how to design a formal lead nurturing process that effectively aligns marketing and sales, is developed collaboratively, and establishes a relevant dialog that:

• Identifies influencers, specifiers and decision makers

• Initiates conversations that lead to better understanding

• Nurtures interest regardless of buying time frame

• Is dynamic and responsive to what you learn along the way

• Shares a contact history in a common environment that includes measurement data and decision-making data

• Mines for individual data that results in prosciutto-thin segmentation

Doing marketing automation properly requires more than a platform. It requires people--people who can make qualitative decisions based on the data.
