17/11/2010 - ‘Digital Finger Printing’ Now Core for Sales Success
Over the last decade the growth of the Internet has seen the customer buying process change dramatically. Now businesses that fail to capture, tag and track vital information about the many elusive visitors to their website are unlikely to survive
Understanding who these visitors are, what motivates them, where they are in the buying cycle and more – the technology,such as demand generation, is now available to build this into an in-depth profile of your prospects – their ‘digital finger prints’ – that gives sales people the edge they need to win the business.
This ability to tag and track website visitors opens up a new world of opportunity, providing insight into prospects’ buying motivations and behaviour throughout the sales cycle. Rather than giving just an overview of the website’s performance, it builds knowledge of who wants to buy and when – creating the digital fingerprint, or DNA, that is crucial to sales success.

03/09/2010 - Read Our Latest Demand Generation Blog - Cold Calling Becomes Warm Calling
A study by Which? has found that British consumers receive an average of six cold calls a month, with three-quarters of people wanting cold calling to be banned for good.
B2B sales is a little different but while we’re advocates of picking up the phone and being proactive, why call 200 people a week who have no interest in your company or services when you can call 200 who are interested in what you offer?
Targeted marketing programs and increased understanding of customer motivations and requirements hold the key. This is where marketing automation comes into its own, enabling an organisation to optimise every visitor to its website, establishing who the visitor is, when they return to the website, where their interests lie and, crucially, when they are ready to buy.
The result gives sales people the knowledge to target their calls far more effectively, builds a complete picture of the customer journey and develops the relationship – resulting in higher conversions and improved ROI. What company wouldn’t want that?

Email Marketing is Dead
Read our latest white paper. I don't know how many times I have heard people say
'cold calling is dead.'
In fact, I've been known to say it myself, especially when my old boss asked me to hit the phones. And yet companies keep using the phone to win business.
