Morning Workshop
Lead Generation Strategies for the Complex Sale

Brian Carroll, CEO, InTouch Incorporated


Lead Generation Strategies for the Complex Sale

One of the biggest struggles sales people face today is getting their foot in the door with decision makers. According to research by Huthwaite Inc., an internationally recognized research and sales consulting firm, “...sales people spend only 20% to 40% of their time doing selling activities.” What would the impact be if your sales team spent more time developing solutions with decision makers who have a defined business need?

Brian will share “insider” strategies that InTouch uses to help their clients reach high-level decision makers in mid-size to Fortune 500 companies. Marketers — You might hear from sales, “these leads aren’t any good… can I have more leads?” Brian asserts up to 90% of leads are NOT leads and shouldn’t be given to sales people in the first place! Find out what you can do to help your sales people be your biggest fans and increase sales.

The presentation will feature a real-world lead generation case study, co-presented with InTouch client, Sopheon.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • How to identify and prioritize your hottest leads
  • A strategy to manage the entire lead lifecycle for maximum impact
  • What’s working to gain access to decision makers, identify influencers and find business needs
  • Best practices to help marketing and sales stop finger pointing and start working together
  • How InTouch leverages an integrated marketing approach that delivers measurable ROI

If you want to increase your revenue and finish the year strong, you will want to attend this session!
