A Marketing and Sales Thought Leader, SAS Marketing Executive, Co-Author of “Aligned to Achieve: How to Unite Your Sales & Marketing Teams into a Single Force for Growth”, 15 Most Influential Women in B2B Marketing, Founding Board Member of Women In Revenue, CMO of InsideView Technologies, Tracy Eiler, discusses the difference between going after accounts from a marketing driven perspective versus pursuing accounts throughout the entire customer lifecycle. Takeaways: Before tackling CRM, companies need to diagnose the damage. Then there are tools and processes that can be put in place so that information is constantly up to date. “Data is like a river. It is never going to be perfect.” ~Tracy Eiler Account Pursuit is more than marketing tactics! There is a continuous customer lifecycle: Find, Engage, Close and Grow. This not only targets new accounts that fit our ideal customer, but also ties in customer experience and success. Pay attention to the customer base, especially when it comes to upsell and expansion. Pretend to be a prospect as an exercise to get an opinion on what buyers experience. Look at competitor campaigns as well. The buyer is about 75% through their journey before they make themselves known. Use conversational marketing, reverse ip lookup, or rapid account mapping to deanonymize and encourage conversations early on. Career advice: Trust your gut with more conviction.

Tracy was also a key speaker at the Growth Marketing Conference.Key TakeawaysAlways strive to improve your CRM. Don’t overlook the issues. Cleaning up dirty data can have a significant impact on the company's productivity.Cold calling doesn’t exist anymore. If marketers are doing their job, they’re getting in front of the audience and reaching out to them in a much more productive way.Marketers need to focus on the top of the funnel, but they need to remember to think about their role post-sale to turn customers into advocates.Focus on updating old content into new systems. Just because the platform of the data is outdated doesn’t mean the information within it isn’t relevant.Emphasize diversity in the workplace, and give opportunities to people with unconventional backgrounds to help your company expand.Quotes“I don't use the term ABM anymore. I really think that it’s account-based engagement or account-based pursuit because we’re so integrated between sales, marketing, and customer experience. We go account-based not only for new logo pursuit but also for customer expansion.”“I really think demand marketers should think about, org structure-wise, having sales development report into marketing.”“CRM data quality is something that the ops folks typically own, but it’s at the root of impact to sales and marketing effectiveness.”“Cold calling. I just don't think that exists anymore, right? If marketers are doing their job, we’re warming up an audience and reaching out to them and getting in front of them in a variety of ways.”“Really make sure that sales understands and has buy-in into your strategy. It’s really important—we have to educate them. Wean them off of lead quantity and wean them onto opportunity quality.”“We want more folks who are not white, and we also want diversity of thought, right? Take first-generation college graduates as an example. We don't want everybody to look and sound and come with the same background.”SponsorDemand Gen Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for Demand Gen pros.

Altify Research Stated, "If the salesperson is a Woman you will see a 10% Greater Win Rate" which led the host Patrick Morrissey to discuss how to recruit and hire top women in sales. Morrissey smiled when he read Altify’s recent research, The Customer Revenue Optimization Benchmark Study 2019, which found that all things being equal, you can generate a 10% greater win rate if the salesperson is a woman. And research is coming in from many directions with the same message. To discuss this topic, host Patrick Morrissey interviews Tracy Eiler from Inside View about what it takes to attract and retain women in revenue. Top players that increase revenue are in demand. Recruiting top revenue creators is taking on a new urgency as companies realize there is competition for talent and those that know how to recruit win over those that don’t know it is a skill. Patrick, therefore, suggests that companies should be hiring women if they want an increase in sales. Specifically, many companies have found that women in revenue creation and management often are judged to be especially prized as a recent report from CSO Insights - 2018-2019 SALES PERFORMANCE STUDY specifically points out. This is an annual survey of nearly 900 B2B companies that says women in revenue are especially sought and valued. Visit Women In Revenue's site.

Changes in how buyers go through the sales funnel have only intensified the issues. The prevalence of negative stereotypes for both groups hasn’t helped, either. In this episode, Tracy Eiler, CMO of Inside View, talks about the continuing problem of aligning sales and marketing and what you can do to make your teams kiss and make up.
