1 SalesFUSION White Paper Fundamentals of B2B Nurture Marketing Fundamental Concepts of Nurture Marketing For B2B Marketers explore the basics of nurture marketing (Lead Nurturing) from concept to execution. Marketers today need to ensure they are putting in place processes and technology that leverage web2.0 marketing tools in a way that truly integrates and streamlines the management of the top of the funnel. In this paper SalesFUSION explores the concepts and an example of a simple nurture marketing campaign, which will help you consider which types of nurture marketing are right for your marketing-sales process. By Kevin Miller VP Sales & Marketing SalesFUSION, Inc.

2 Understanding nurture marketing Nurture marketing is a term that has gained visibility and interest in the B2B marketing space over the last several years. Initially, the concept grew out of the capabilities of CRM systems to track and manage sales interactions with early stage prospects over time. In the last 3 years, technology has flooded the market to help B2B marketers identity, generate and manage leads in the pre-qualification stage. Essentially, the strategic shift in B2B sales has been that marketing owns the top of the funnel while sales owns the middle to bottom of the funnel. In some cases inside sales/telemarketing has direct line reporting into marketing more so than sales. As this shift has taken root, marketing has increasingly expanded its role and capabilities around lead and demand generation. As emarketing applications have flooded the B2B marketing community, there have been great strides in technology-enabled marketing to help professionals increase their capabilities relative to demand and lead generation. With the new technology ( , SEO/SEM, social.etc) comes new challenges. In the age of internetdriven lead generation, the sheer volume of leads has increased dramatically, often times overwhelming marketing and inside sales departments. The issue a marketing department may have faced in years past was around generating enough leads to build the funnel on a quarter by quarter basis. Today, the challenge becomes filtering through the noise of hundreds of leads per month to ensure the best leads are being touched and the least qualified leads are being developed for the longer term. Having a well balanced sales funnel with early-stage and late-stage leads is critical for a company to perform well against earnings targets over the long haul. What you do today as a B2B marketer may very well make the difference between success and failure 9 months from now. Your successful 4 th quarter begins in the first or second quarter. For the B2B marketer, the technology is now in place to manage the process of nurture marketing and ensure that no lead gets left behind. However, as with all technology adoption curves, there is an initial dearth of functionality but an overall lack of education and understanding about how best to leverage new technology in day-to-day circumstances. Nurture marketing is a perfect example of this. The term itself can be somewhat misleading so we'll first spend some time defining what nurture marketing is, what technology makes up "nurture marketing" and then we'll provide some real world examples of how B2B marketers can leverage this technology to improve their coverage and reach.

3 What is nurture marketing? Nurture marketing can be defined as a process that automates a flow of communication with a prospective customer. The seller pre-defines a path of automated communications based on certain criteria. This criteria typically falls into 2 categories; Demographic and Behavioral. For demographic, you may have a certain campaign for one vertical and another set of content for a different vertical. Behavioral criteria are dependent upon a prospect s interactions with the seller. These interactions may be based on website behavior (visits to website, pages, downloads of documents on the seller website...etc) or campaign response behavior ( responses, open responses). Nurture marketing is basically the process of presenting content to a lead based on their current-state interest level and leading the prospect to continue interacting with you over a period of time until they either qualify in or qualify out. Types of Nurture Marketing Campaigns In B2B, nurture marketing campaigns can be a combination of many things over a relatively long period of time. campaigns, telesales, direct mail, can all play a role on nurturing a lead from identification to qualification. Today however, nurture marketing is most closely associated with marketing. And within the context of marketing, there are 2 distinct types of s that are used by marketers for the purpose of lead nurturing. Trigger As the name suggests, trigger s are s that are executed when a condition is triggered or met. Simple examples of trigger s are a confirmation that is sent to a lead upon completing a form on the website. The has no date associated with it, rather it queries the database and when the condition is met, the is executed. Trigger s use one or more dynamic segments to execute. A dynamic segment is nothing more than a pre-defined query of the marketing database who s membership is made up of people who do certain things. Sample Dynamic Segments Web Activity Individuals who have an active session on the website within the last 24-hours. Form completion of a form Campaign Opened and clicked through a certain

4 Trigger s are a simple yet invaluable way to continually touch a lead and ensure interactions are followed up on. Trigger s can also be the launch point for more lengthy drip campaigns. If a web activity triggers an and that is then opened and clicked through, then that activity in and of itself may trigger a new set or string of communications. Drip s These are similar in nature to a trigger with one fundamental difference a Drip is a scheduled . It will be set to go out at a certain time/date. It may still include the use of dynamic or conditional segments but again, they will go out at a scheduled time. A good example of a drip is a reminder for a webinar campaign. The may be set to go out on Tuesday at 10AM but it will only go out to those individuals who have registered or completed the form for the webinar. Drip s are the core of Nurture marketing. You can set up a string of pre-determined s in multiple branches in advance and let the campaign run in the background. Most typically, drip campaigns will last days and no more. Segmentation While drip and trigger s are the primary executable for nurture campaigns, they are driven by 2 types of segmentation. Segmentation can be broadly defined as a group of individuals who meet a certain criteria of a query. You cannot have nurture marketing without a good segmentation tool. While segmentation is nothing more than a query of the database, with respect to marketing automation technology, segmentation should be user friendly and allow users to ask questions of the database without the need for executing SQL. Profile Segments these are driven off of profile data in the lead record in either the marketing database or CRM database or both. The most common profile segments are related to titles, geography and company size/type. Behavioral segments these are conditional segments and group individuals based on their activity or behavior relative to interactions they have with you. A simple behavioral example, as mentioned before, may be everyone who has visited a certain web page in the last 24 hours.

5 Behavioral Data as a trigger for Nurture Marketing What interactions does a prospective buyer engage in with the typical B2B firm today that may indicate potential interest in purchasing your products or services? Web Interactions How did the prospect find your website? Search, PPC, Campaign Response? In regards to search, it is important to understand how and why the prospect found you. Identifying the keywords used or referring website may help and standard web analytics will identify this. Keywords gives insight into what the prospect was thinking or interested in when they came to your website. Response Activity Has the prospect opened, clicked through or forwarded communications from marketing? Campaign responses Is the lead receptive to your campaigns? Are they responding to single or multiple campaigns? Sample Nurture Marketing Campaigns A good way to understand how nurture marketing works is to explore examples of campaigns. In the example below, a webinar campaign is described. Webinars are online events that allow vendors to promote a solution or industry expertise to a large group of passive attendees. Campaign Type - Webinar An initial invitation is sent to a list and/or other promotional vehicles (banner ad, sponsorship...etc) are implemented. The invitation contains a link to a registration page. The registration page captures the name, company, and any other information the webinar sponsor is trying to capture from the attendees. For Registrants, a Thank-You or Confirmation is Triggered immediately following completion of the registration. This Trigger will contain the webinar detail and may crosspromote additional content. 2-3 days after the initial webinar invitation goes out, a drip is sent to the original list but segmented based on individuals who did not open the original - a subject line swap is implemented. In this case, the original subject line is changed to a new subject and automatically re-sent to all those in the original list who did not open the first . This is a drip because it has a launch date associated with it.

6 2-3 days later, a first reminder drip is sent for all registered leads for the webinar. The day of the webinar - a second drip reminder is sent 1 hour before the start of the event. Post-webinar - 2 primary branched follow up campaigns are then executed following the webinar. Branch 1 - Attendee follow up campaign - For attendees, a follow up is immediately triggered thanking the attendees for attending. The may include a redirect to a companion white paper, a pdf copy of the presentation or to the website for additional information. Potential follow up activities for branch 1 Attendee responds to - triggers call from sales (CRM integration) Attendee does not respond to - put into 7-day drip Attendee responds to - triggers invitation to next webinar Branch 2 - Non-Attendees - those who registered but did not attend webinar - for this branch you may go in several directions. The key is to stay engaged with this group as they were interested enough to register but likely had something come up that prevented them from coming. Potential follow up activities for branch 2 Send "sorry you couldn't attend" immediately following the event - redirect to a rebroadcast registration (if applicable) Send with link to copy (pdf) of the presentation inviting to a similar webinar inviting non-attendees to download a copy of a white paper As you can see from this very simple example, companies can get very creative and detailed in trigger/drip follow up s. A simple 2-branch event may contain up to different s with discrete content. Each of those s may contain responder/non-responder branching as well. The management of nurture campaigns is not feasible without automation. There are simply too many variables to track and manage. The key to making nurture campaigns work is having the right technology available to helping a marketer schedule, plan and implement a complex multi-contact campaign.

7 Lead Scoring and Sales Integration Lead scoring is a technology that ranks and sorts leads based on the aggregate value of their integrations and quality of their demographic profile, relative to your company s ideal prospect. Lead scoring is a critical component to a nurture marketing and absolutely necessary when integrating marketing into the CRM/Sales process. Lead scoring will typically look at 4 buckets of data. Each is described below. Profile Data this is the basic validation of a lead. Company information size, geography, vertical Title validation of title is this the type of person we sell to? validation non-free mail Web Behavior may score on a number of elements including Recency and frequency of web visits Website downloads Return visits Survey Data looks at how individuals respond to questions in surveys forms Campaign data scores leads based on responses to single or multiple campaigns Scoring will assign a relative point value to each element in the data buckets mentioned above. The aggregate score will help marketing and sales determine the value of the lead or interest level. Further marketing may take place for low-value/interest leads while immediate action and integration/alerting to sales may occur with high value leads. When integrating with sales, it is important that there is good integration between the marketing database and the CRM database. Basic information should be passed from marketing such as the demographics and lead score, the campaign activity and any other relevant information that sales can use in their first call. Sales should then be able to provide a feedback loop to marketing. By changing the lead status, the lead should either be validated or disqualified in the CRM system and this information should make its way back to marketing for validation of scoring rules. Again a key success factor is having the right database and technology to make all of this work in harmony.

9 Lead Scoring plays a key role in SalesFUSION Nurture marketing as well. Scoring is done on 4 buckets of data including Scoring-based triggers are an invaluable asset to the marketer, particularly marketing departments with limited budgets and resources. Leads may be classified into interest groups. Once a lead is assigned to an interest group a trigger campaign may be executed against that lead. The trigger campaign will then begin a series of communications based on action/reaction to the outbound s. The marketer need not worry about whether leads are being touched or followed up on. The system is continually monitoring the lead activity/scores and deciding who gets what. This is the essence of set it and forget it technology. Lead Scoring by SalesFUSION is a simple solution to a complex problem.

Because SalesFUSION includes a full suite of web analytics, it is easy to incorporate web behavior into lead scoring, which is one of the key indicators of interest level. While some solutions focus on reporting on who s on my website, SalesFUSION allows you to take action against this valuable information. Powerful analytics and alerting keep the marketing and sales teams updated on all activity and sales is directly tied into the lead nurturing process with alerts. Lead routing and assignment technology ensures that each rep is notified when a high-value lead has been active, either in response to a campaign or through an organic visit to the website. These alerts may trigger rules in your CRM system that prompt a direct phone call by sales. It has been proven that timing is a critical component in having a successful first phone call with a lead.
