Notes de l'éditeur
There is a marketing function that is responsible for generating leads and determining which ones go to sales.TS leads are different – you don’t control the quality or format and you cannot set the urgency .
More companies are using software systems to improve the leads process. They are using lead scoring and interaction analysis. Event leads don’t yet fit.
Exhibitor have but 2 choices – we have another.
Some for of BANT is used in all but the pharma industry
The answers to the questions are sent to the LR company to order the custom qualifiers
Internet leads systems use BANT and interaction tracking. Great for leads you think you control but they seem to work.
Lead rating is complex – could spend hours on what we have learned and what we still cannot do.
We have a way to make the TS data more compatible with any leads process. Frankly, I cannot understand how any organization that has a leads generation function, and spends money on trade shows would allow trade show leads to be sent directly to sales.
RapidResponse Processing sits between the tradeshow and the marketing system to identify sales ready leads early and get them to sales before the competition. It also converts the tens of different formats so they can be easily entered into the marketing system. Why RapidResponse Processing? Because Trade Shows are Different!
