MEASURE WHAT MATTERS: SALES AND MARKETING ALIGNMENT TO DRIVE RESULTS

Today, data is available to allow marketers to move away from traditional metrics of measurement, such as clicks and engagement, and toward more meaningful measurement of success, such as quality of leads and closed deals. Measuring what matters allows marketers to make decisions that can truly affect business results, i.e. revenue. But to achieve this, marketers must overcome several internal challenges, including the silos that exist between them and their sales team. 

In this session, Jennifer will explain what it means to “measure what matters,” why it’s important but also how it can be challenging, especially from a sales and marketing perspective. Finally, she will provide specific examples of data measurement that can enable better decision-making and lead to strong results for a business.

3 key learning objectives:

  • Dive into what it means to “measure what matters” and why it is critical to long-term marketing success
  • Understand the challenges to being able to measure what matters and the importance of sales and marketing alignment
  • Know the data to obtain to help develop measurement that can drive business results

CHANGE: THE ULTIMATE TEST OF GREAT MARKETING

Great brands drive change that redefines perceptions, reinvents buying processes, and at the highest level reimagines categories. As it turns out, that’s just what buyers are looking for. Using research from their recent B2B buyer survey and stories from the PJA award-winning podcast The Unconventionals, Mike O’Toole and Matt Grant, will share insights into the minds of B2B buyers along with effective strategies for branding for change. These strategies include harnessing the crazies that love your business, finding the Darwinian gaps that lead to market-changing innovations, and placing mission at the center of your marketing vision.
