Eye Tracking Software and Improving Campaigns

A broad overview of basic research methods accessible to product-based businesses of all sizes. The discussion focuses on the most common and useful qualitative and quantitative research methods, and how to overcome each technique's individual disadvantages.

Participants will learn:

- How to define their business problem better, and choose the right method(s) to solve it.

- How to practically implement several very useful methods without the need for proprietary software.

- How to leverage the data they already have to find insightful patterns.

- Which methods are out there. Business leaders often do not realize there is a method that has been built specifically for their class of problem.
Having a broad understanding of the types of techniques that are out there (*and what they are for*) can be 90% of the battle.

Every demand gen marketer knows how complex the marketing mix has become—every day you get a LI message, cold email, or ABM outreach about how X new tool can get you Y% more leads. It’s incredibly exciting, but it poses a challenge. When constrained by time, resources, and budget, how do you grow acquisition meaningfully and scalably?

During this webinar, I'll share seven tenets I've learned in my experience leading demand generation for two high-growth SaaS companies. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your marketing know-how, you'll discover how to keep yourself grounded with strategies and tactics that drive results.

Being a successful DTC marketer isn’t about relying on a silver bullet or mastering one paid channel. I'll show you how to think holistically about the sales and marketing funnel, develop a multi-channel approach, and accelerate sales pipeline. Register now!

Absent compelling content, the most carefully designed campaigns fall flat. The challenge, of course, is that our customers and prospects are inundated with content and tune out all but the most timely and relevant material. And the C-suite audiences we all want to engage are the toughest of all.

Marketers obsess over the newest tools and channels (TikTok, anyone?) but what we say is at least as important as how we say it. Yes, we’re all moving to more video and interactive (as well as back to direct mail), but how can we ensure that the core of our campaigns is substantive content that our audiences actually care about?

Crafting compelling content, especially for executive-level audiences, is no simple task. Join ITSMA’s Rob Leavitt and Optum’s Leslie Cozatt to explore what the most skeptical buyers are looking for and how the most successful marketers are developing and using C-suite thought leadership content to accelerate demand in the most challenging markets.

Simplify your demand generation process by breaking it down and focusing on the components that matter most. Dividing the process into 4 steps, you can create an effective demand generation strategy that will drive interested leads into your sales team's open arms. Rather than chasing potential customers down and selling them on the same value propositions you and all your competitors are using, consider what it will take to make them chase you.

· Define your audience

o Maximize the effectiveness of your campaigns by starting with understanding the needs your product satisfies, and who will benefit most

· Gather insights

o Consider how and where your audience spends their time to identify what their interests, needs, or parallel pain points they may suffer from are

· Demonstrate value

o Create compelling content that attracts them to you and demonstrates value – something that will make your audience say thank you

· Set the bait

o Lastly, use your content and leverage targeted marketing channels to drive leads to you

For every B2B marketer who ever wondered 'why should B2C marketers have all the fun?', the 2010’s had all the answers. We got to learn frameworks such as inbound, ABM, conversational marketing, talk triggers and had access to technologies that helped us achieve those goals.

So, what’s next? Evoking strong emotions among your users/prospects for your product is the future for B2B companies, and the Product Led Growth (PLG) framework, combined with building communities is how you get there. Marketers should look at adopting specific elements of PLG’s framework whether you sell to SMBs, Mid-market or Enterprise businesses. PLG will soon become a basic expectation, like Inbound became a few years ago.

At the heart of PLG is the approach of giving users the ability to easily experience the product before the paywall and equip them to appreciate the value in the trial period or trial version. While companies have begun finding their stride with successful sales-marketing alignment, the stakes how now increased, the future is going to be about sales-marketing-product alignment.

Join this session for:

1. A quick introduction to PLG and how it will take you further along in the journey to higher personalization and higher organizational alignment

2. An approach to generating demand with traditional approaches, with some creative nuances, as you set yourself up for PLG

3. Build alignment with technology/product teams to structure data to move to PLG

4. A guide to building ‘tribes’ by connecting audiences with each other and with your company around theme of the problem you are solving for them

5. A recommended approach to structuring your team

6. Metrics you should track to measure performance
