Improve the Lead Management Process

It takes 7-13+ touches to convert a cold prospect into a sales-ready lead.

Because it takes 7 – 13+ touches to convert a cold prospect into a sales-ready lead, sales pipeline nurturing and management are crucial to the livelihood of every B2B organization with a complex sales process. If done correctly, B2B firms will see increased sales, decreased costs and shorter sales cycle timelines resulting in significantly improved profitability.

If you are like many companies, your automated demand creation efforts probably aren’t filling your pipeline with the amount of quality leads needed to meet your sales goals. In order to drive demand and revenue, you must quickly engage non-responders to accelerate the conversion from marketing responses to closed deals.

Direct Marketing Partners’ demand creation programs help clients break through barriers by delivering their value propositions and maximizing near term sales with a qualified sales-ready lead pipeline. We analyze your target market and deploy multi-touch, multi-channel activities in order to discover the optimal touch patterns for your unique offerings. As contacts become more familiar with your brand, they begin to qualify at significantly higher rates.

As leads are acquired, the results are captured in detailed reports and executive dashboards to close the loop with sales pipeline information and feedback. And of course, our lead management systems are compatible with Salesforce.com and all other leading CRM/SFA tools.

Direct Marketing Partners goes above and beyond to offer a high quality, full-service program to helps our team focus their time and energy on being more effective in other areas of our business. As a robotics company, it was important that the first human interaction our prospective customers had was with someone who understood the basics of our product. I listened to the first call recordings and was immediate impressed that DMP’s team not only knows their business very well, but they skillfully and quickly picked up the nuances of our business as well. With the help of DMP, our company has been able to add consistency to our lead qualification process and are now on the road to developing reporting metrics internally to make our internal Marketing Department more effective.

I think the DMP system here makes sense… So to be clear what I am saying is that after you spend $156k annually on DMP you get $3.3M annually in added bookings/revenue.    Great return on our investment.  My 2 cents.
