Did You Know – Repeating Demand Generation Activities Drive 10x Results

Posted on By Vikas Bhatt

 2018 – I have crafted an awesome demand generation strategy for this year   2019 – I don’t know why the demand generation strategy did not give me desired results. How do I justify marketing budget to the C-suite? We have come across a lot of these! No, seriously!   Sometimes the demand generation strategy and tactics were beautiful but due to lack of repeated procedures required they  FAILED (rather miserably!)!    Yikes. I cannot imagine myself being there. If you are a B2B marketer, you will know the magnitude of revising strategy each year. It is not an end-moment-game, it is something which goes along from the time you implemented your previous strategy.   One of the secret ingredients to A-W-E-S-O-M-E B2B demand generation strategy is to constantly evaluate the programs and weighting it against investments (in terms of time and of course, money).   But, what do we constantly perform or evaluate? Let us divulge the secret today! In this post we will discuss 6 demand generation activities / efforts which need to be constantly implemented if you want bangs for your buck.   Must Read: Demand Generation and Inbound marketing: The new couple in town! 1. Evaluate goals (and revise them if need be) This is a no brainer.   You need to evaluate goals against the performance quarterly  (or bi-annually) and set new goals (or revise them) depending upon what you have achieved (or haven’t achieved)     Demand generation activities / goals can be defined in terms of MQLs, SQLs, %age of revenue, driving awareness, using new demand generation tactics that haven’t been used before. Include target outcomes (short term as well as long term) for each goal set. You will never get anywhere if you don’t know where you are going.   Lets take an example. If you created an ebook with a target of at least 10,000 downloads in 3 months, you need to see whether you achieved it. If not, what can be changed or if you already achieve it within 3 months, what can you do to achieve your next target sooner.    You get my point? This was a simplified example!   2. Produce content or repurpose existing content Quality content is the foundation of demand generation.   Why do I say that?   Because content includes a range of activities like blog posts, contributed articles, infographics, whitepapers, eBooks, research reports, guides, webinars, videos, case studies, nurture emails, landing pages and more.   We understand that producing content often is NOT easy. But, for demand generation activities / efforts, always look for content which is doing well in terms of driving traffic, shares, comments etc or have gone viral.  You can take such content and repurpose it to make more content (and for different platform). For example, if you were writing a blog post on hosting services which is driving huge amounts of traffic, you can repurpose it to make an ebook, worksheet, tutorial, checklist or an infographic.     You cannot wait for the year to end to utilize content which has gone viral today!   Also, keep making an effort to understand your buyer persona better and develop content that resonates with your audience. Again, you will never get anywhere if you don’t know who you are targeting! Always keep a lookout for information on your audience and add it to your data.   Must Read: Demand Generation Etiquette 3. Spread content Your content needs to travel in any and every way possible. Don’t expect your audience to land on your blog post just because you have published valuable content. It WILL get lost in the 3 million other post which are written every day. Review content promotion tactics on a regular basis. Include promotional strategy which ALWAYS work, for example, building a list and using email marketing, sharing on social media regularly, and our favorite – content syndication.   Don’t overlook or ignore any method of spreading content.   4. Keep testing Its important to always test demand generation activities, tactics, strategies, content, creative, channel, sources and more. Something we always test for our clients on a regular basis are lead nurturing efforts, CTAs, landing page designs, headlines, email marketing subject lines and designs, social media tactics and SEO tactics.   5. Analyse data You need to be guided by the RIGHT data. So, keep an eye on all the relevant metrics. Remember, vanity metrics can be misleading.   Are you wondering – what is the right metrics then? Well, guess what – Just ask yourself if the metrics can help you make better decisions? Most often it will include lead sources (where do most of your leads come from?), volume of MQLs, SQLs and SALs, clicks and conversion rates (how many of the qualify lead convert into customers?) etc   Its imperative that you take action on the key insights once you discover them. Don’t just sit on the data! 6. Follow best practices for demand generation activities Last but not the least, always follow demand generation best practices. For starters,   Create a detailed strategy around a demand generation tactic. For example, you cannot stop at lets promote on twitter. You need to know how will you use it, will you use sponsored tweets, what time will you post, etc. Always map your lead generation strategy with buyers journey. If you miss it, your tactics will not give you the desired results.   That’s our secret in the open!    If you implement these procedures on your strategy, you are bound to see improvements. So, what has been your best demand generation technique? Lets talk about it in the comments section. Must Read: Ultimate Guide to Demand Generation Strategy 

How to Know Whether Your Lead is Qualified Enough to be a Sales Ready Lead?

Posted on By Vikas Bhatt

Lets begin by understanding a few basics. While Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) is vetted by both the marketing and the sales team; Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) are prospects that likely to become a buyer according to the marketing team. If you do not have a process of identifying an SQL, you are not only wasting the efforts put in by your sales and marketing team but also deteriorating the closing rates. This is where a standardized system of categorizing leads as qualified becomes important. Here are 4 surefire ways of doing this Aligning marketing and sales team  According to sales, marketing team doesn’t hand over qualified leads and marketing team has complaints of sales not effectively following the leads. Begin with defining SQLs and MQLs so there is always an agreement on what is passed on. Ask relevant questions like What should determine immediate follow-up from sales? Which message resonates with prospects during sales conversation? What makes a lead unqualified? What are the red flags that one should look for? etc Once you have a clear definition, marketing can categorize quality leads with clarity and align their efforts with the needs of the sales team. Must Read: MQL to SQL conversion rate 2. Lead Scoring Metrics You can track this progress in the sales cycle using marketing automation software and set up a lead scoring system (LSS) to assign a value for each action. Once the lead reaches a certain threshold, they can be referred to the sales team. In LSS you will have to define two factors Buyer persona: Every company has an ideal buyer and you will have to define it. Gather relevant information from various sources, for example, by asking questions on your website such as job title, industry, company size etc. It will help you understand which leads have greater chances of converting.

Create content for each stage of the sales cycle  Remember we told you, that each one of your lead is at a different stage of the customer journey and you need to know it before your teams take ANY action. “”ANY”” action also applies to the content you make available for your potential buyers at each stage. Top-of-the-funnel leads: These prospects aren’t looking for a solution. So, do not send them salesy content! Instead, send them content on latest trends or educational posts, guides, ebooks, whitepapers, video lessons etc to address the pain points which are commonly experienced by your customers.  Middle-of-the-funnel leads: These prospects are well aware of their problems and looking out for solutions. They are most likely interested in content like comparison sheets, webinars, checklists, case studies etc which can help them decide which solution is good for them.  Bottom-of-the-funnel: They are almost ready to buy. They are interested in knowing what the product can do for them, demos, trial periods, presentations, consultations etc. 4. BANT system  We have used BANT (Budget, Authority, Need and Time) system for several of our clients and the results are always impressive. It helps you figure out: Does your prospect have the budget to buy? Are they willing to purchase a product/service to solve a pain point? Does your prospect have the authority to buy? Does your prospect have a need for your product/services? When is your prospect looking to buy? The answers help distinguish qualified leads from the others. All the steps will not only help you qualify a lead more accurately than before, it will also help your sales team to seal more deals.

Quick Guide: Retain Customers with Demand Generation Strategies

Posted on By Vikas Bhatt

One of the biggest challenges in saturated markets today is generating demand for your business. Big brands make it look so easy. And guess what, IT IS. While demand generation may be a small part of the bigger marketing plan, it is necessary to ensure that your demand generation strategies, tactics, and practices work along the sales funnel and result in customer acquisition. Must Read: 9 demand generation books every marker should read So, what is demand generation? As the name suggests, demand generation is all about creating a need for your product/service in the minds of your potential buyers. According to Sproutsocial, It is a multi-step process that shows your prospects a problem they face, acquaints them with your brand as a potential solution and illustrates the value of choosing you over others. There are many demand generation strategies and tactics, like email marketing, free tool or resources, webinars, videos, apps etc, which are known to have impressive ROI Source: leadsmarketer.net While implementing any of these strategies, you need to follow certain rules or best practices which are known to increase customer acquisition and retention rates. Lets look at them one by one. 1. Remember, you need demand generation We have met a few clients who thought they didn’t require demand generation ideas. Ooo!   That one mistake that always leaves me speechless! Many businesses start off planning their marketing assuming that customers will know and want to buy their products/services. Let me break it to you – Unless you are selling on Mars and have a monopoly, customers aren’t automatically going to come to you and buy.  Always start with generating demand and do not skip steps 2. Understand the difference between demand generation and lead generation You may skip over this point thinking you know it. But, many marketers make the mistake of using lead and demand generation interchangeably. While demand generation is focused on driving awareness for your product/service, B2B lead generation focuses on conversions. You cannot expect conversions if your marketing plan is demand-driving only and vice versa. Read more : Lead-Generation-Vs-Demand-Generation 3. Lead Nurturing, segmentation and tailored communication There are three absolute essentials to any demand generation plans: Lead nurturing, segmentation and tailored communications. But, for any of this to happen, you will need to start with buyer persona. Use data to extract relevant information and understand your target audience (their preference, likes, dislikes, pain points etc). Once you have demand generation aligned with the right persona, the quality of leads will drastically improve. Buyer persona will also help you tailor communications in a way that talks directly to your audience. Did you know that personalized experience converts 1.5 times better? We have carried out demand generation for several businesses and we have seen success in narrowing our focus and increasing personalization at every single step. For personalization to work in your favor, you will also need to segment your audience. Narrowing your targets will help you understand their specific situation leading to tailored communications which will help you achieve higher conversions. If you send the same message to all your audience, you will reach no one. All of this put together is the best recipe for lead nurturing. Remember, a poor lead nurturing and demand generation strategies will waste quality leads.   Must Read: Demand Generation Etiquette 4. Campaign analysis and feedback Just admit it. You cannot get perfect demand strategy in your first attempt. How would you know it? By campaign analysis and feedback.  You need to set up KPIs and performance tools before you start implementing any strategy. Measuring revenue influence against budget investments is important. Other metrics would have a cost per acquisition, lifetime value of customers, a time taken to convert, percentage to convert (SQL, MQL, SAL, Buyer) etc. Do not mistake vanity metrics (social clicks, likes, follow, page views) as a measurement for success. 5. Qualifying Leads If you want to increase customer acquisition with demand generation strategies, it is important that you qualify leads (Marketing qualified or Sales qualified) the right way. Incorporate a detailed lead scoring system in your strategy that can help you target best leads in your funnel. With lead scoring in place, the sales team can touch upon hottest leads and improve sales. Must Read: MQL to SQL Conversion Rate 6. User friendly UI/UX Websites are the best way to generate demand. You can use multiple tactics on it: Landing pages, lead magnets, free tools, free resource etc. It is important that you are invested in the designing of your website and ensure that it is attractive, user-friendly, mobile-friendly and at the same time takes up least amount of resources and loads fast. 7. Social Media Interactions Social media platforms are the best way to engage with your potential buyers today. Be active and comment, like, share, tweet etc. We need to learn a lesson from Xbox. They have assigned a dedicated Twitter account for customer support and 27 people to manage it. An active social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) presence can help you generate demand, build credibility and establish you as a thought leader. 8. Branding consistency Just ask yourself, can your target audience distinguish your graphics, pictures, feature images, logo, in short branding, just by looking at it? If your answer is no, you are missing out on generating demand and building loyalty. Check out Melyssagriffin.com  9. Partner or Outsource This is the mistake we all are guilty of! Partnerships, collaborations with similar businesses and outsourcing to expert demand generation companies/agencies go a long way in managing and creating demand generation that leads to higher customer acquisition. Must Read: 9 demand generation books every marker should read 10. Clarify goals Don’t shoot in the dark. You can analyze the performance of a campaign only if you know what you were trying to achieve from it. Without goals, it is difficult to optimize and make decisions on what to change and what to keep. For example, if my goal is 300 sign ups in a month, how does my campaign work to fulfill it?  11.

Demand Generation and Inbound marketing: The new couple in town!

Posted on By Vikas Bhatt

There are lots of articles that compare demand generation (as an outbound marketing strategy) and inbound marketing only to give a gold medal in marketing Olympics to the latter. While their arguments make sense, we cannot deny that companies still use outbound strategies for demand generation successfully. In this post, we will discuss whether you need a mix of demand generation and inbound marketing strategies or focusing on one will bring you the required ROI? Let’s begin Demand generation as a beginning point to inbound marketing? First, let us understand what is inbound marketing. Hubspot, credited for coining the term Inbound marketing defines it as something that focuses on creating quality content that pulls people toward your company and product where they naturally want to be. By aligning your content you publish with the customers™ interests, you naturally attract inbound traffic that you can then convert, close, and delight over time. On the other hand, demand generation drives awareness for your product/services. You are right, demand generation tops the sales funnel. It is a pre-marketing effort because it assumes that your product/services are unknown and has its own set of best practices Let’s also refer to inbound marketing stages Demand Generation and Inbound marketing[/caption] As you can see, inbound marketing is about attracting, converting, closing and receiving feedback for improving your services/products. Demand generation focuses only on attraction. It is lead generation that focuses on conversion and closing. You can read the difference between demand generation and B2B lead generation, here. This, according to me, is the first overlap between the two. Must Read: 5 Common Demand Generation Plan Problems to Avoid Examples of Inbound and Demand generation A few examples of traditional demand generation (if viewed in the light of outbound strategy) would be cold calling (telemarketing), email marketing, print advertorials, trade shows etc. On the other hand, according to Neil Patel, inbound marketing is about content creation, SEO, landing pages, backlinks, webinars, influencer marketing etc. I searched demand generation tacticsand the first page had an article by Sprout Social. The 8 amazing demand generation strategies listed are a free report, free resources, updating blogs regularly, video marketing, partner marketing, guest post and social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) . We recently wrote a post on top 6 demand generation strategies where we included all of these in detail. Yes, the second overlap! You will see that the best demand generation tactics include content upgrades, free resources, survey, reports, webinars etc. The strategies which are now used for demand generation are similar to inbound marketing. It is due to a digital transformation that the nature of demand generation has changed. I think it is fair to say that demand generation is the first step in your inbound as well as outbound marketing strategy. What tactics you use to generate demand for your product depends on a lot of other factors. Must Read: 9 demand generation books every marketer must need to read Merging both Demand generation, traditionally, is an offensive strategy. Meaning, it is proactive in looking for people who match buyer persona but may not be looking to buy. For example, email blast. The old-school style was one message fits all but today, with tactics like account based marketing and B2B list building along with technology which allows super-segmentation of your audience, you can target exactly who you want and how you want it. So, instead of waiting for them to come to you, you go to them strategically. Another example is cold calling. A study found out that 60 percent of C-suite in IT have considered switching to a new vendor after a cold call. Again, the old school style of cold calling without sales script and etiquettes is long gone. Just look at Moz and Fractly survey Walking the altar: Demand Generation weds Inbound Marketing So, do we need to choose one? Do we need to separate demand generation from inbound marketing? Of Course, no! We need a mix of both to achieve our business goals. Promote your blog posts in emails and social media Offer your best content over a cold call or distribute it on a cold email Include your social media accounts on advertisements Grab the attention of your potential customers through demand generation, hold their attention through inbound marketing efforts and convert them into long-term customers. I do. Understand.  *blessings*” Must Read: 15+ Demand Generation Statistics that Every Business Should Know

However, the most effective way to improve click-through rates and engagement is simple. Don’t send the same message to everyone.
