Success in B2B Sales: Putting It Together<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When assembled, the entire system consists of three very distinct but related processes, each feeding the next with the right kinds of leads for success in B2B sales.<\/p>\n

Marketing\u2019s job is to deliver the necessary number of highly targeted<\/b> MQLs that the Prospecting team will use as its funnel.<\/p>\n

The BDRs will then call, qualify, and schedule appointments, thereby delivering the necessary number of SQLs that the sales team needs to build its sales pipeline.<\/p>\n

As we have stated, it takes 25-40 dials to reach someone, and you want to make sure that after all that effort, the person reached is the right person. We can\u2019t emphasize enough the need for a highly targeted<\/b> campaign.<\/p>\n

You will notice that the top of each funnel is slightly bigger than the bottom of the preceding funnel. This suggests that each operation must also \u201cmake\u201d its own required qualified lead. Prospecting must find its own MQLs in addition to what Marketing provides, and Sales must find its own SQLs in addition to what the Prospecting team delivers.<\/p>\n

Finally, this is a closed loop. Not every appointment will happen, and Sales will ask the Prospecting team to reschedule the prospect (lead). More importantly, Sales may find that a prospect is not quite ready to buy and will place the prospect back into Marketing nurture, with a task for Prospecting to try another appointment\u2014 say, in six months. Your systems must be well integrated<\/b> in order to automate this \u201csend back\u201d to the previous funnel.<\/p>\n

The overall concept is fairly straightforward. However, given the differences in the three operations\u2014 as well as the need for different systems to manage each operation and the need to integrate these systems\u2014the execution part is not that easy.<\/p>\n

The key to success in B2B sales<\/b> is in clearly understanding the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that will make or break these operations. There four CSFs are: Content, Content Distribution, Automation, and List Management. Read about the first CSF<\/a> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
