Learn why integration of actionable data, content messaging and human touch has a direct impact on the output of your lead generation programs, and how marketing automation technology helps to enable – not drive - sales results.

10-24_cal Recent research reveals that 75% of B2B CMO’s report their biggest challenge is generating high quality leads. Despite this, only 19% have fully implemented a marketing automation solution, and among them only 15% state they’ve fully optimized it. The reason? Because it’s not as easy as the vendor hype would lead us to believe. Building a lead generation machine is far more complex that just installing automation software. And besides, marketing automation is not the silver bullet to lead generation nirvana. Learn how leading B2B companies like Trend Micro and Dell SonicWALL are optimizing their results through a more disciplined approach to lead generation and nurturing that features a sensible integration of actionable data, a relevant messaging framework, and human touch teleprospecting. And hear from the VP of Research for IDC’s CMO Advisory Service why integration of automation practices with the personalized, high-touch sales factor removes hurdles by expressing respect for buyers that assists them in their process.
