A re-engagement program is a little like a first date. When you reacquaint yourself with someone, usually, your first statement wouldn't be, "Hello, I love you. What's your phone number?" That would be too forward and scare people away. Instead you want to offer the person something interesting about yourself that would engage him/her in conversation, or ask them a question to get the conversation started. By doing a little online flirting, you offer your potential customers a way to get to know your company.

By offering your audience an incentive, content, which is part of your market positioning, you begin that first conversation. As that conversation progresses you also begin to profile your customer with advanced segmentation. A re-engagement program is the first step in getting to know your customers better. Jump in and get started, because maybe if you're lucky - you will have them at "hello".

Marketers are under increasing pressure to show their contribution to the bottom line. They have evolved from a demand generation machine that was responsible for generating, nurturing and handing leads over to sales to marketers that are focused on bringing measurable value to their company’s bottom line. The creation of the revenue marketer is the holistic approach to closed loop marketing and this requires sales and marketing to walk down the same path, hand in hand, with the same goals.
So how do we make that change? Michelle Levy, AVP of Marketing Programs at ECI Telecom will share the formula which led to her team’s successful alignment with a global sales team and ultimately led to the repositioning of corporate marketing as a valuable contributor to the company’s bottom line. She will share their step by step plan on how they leveraged cutting edge technologies together with dedicated support to show to sales the true value of alignment, and the measurable results of this process and the effect it has had on the sales pipeline, active opportunities and closed business where marketing’s influence has made its mark within the sales organization.
