q Break Free B2B Marketing: Lisa Sharapata of 6sense on the End of the MQL By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Tue, 05 May 2020 10:00:35 +0000 What do we mean when we talk about a transformation in marketing? Let me put it this way. The switch from horses to cars was a transformation. It was a fundamental rethinking of the way that humans move. We went from, “Find an animal that can go further and faster than you can and ride on it,” to “Burn fuel and use the energy to turn a motor that transfers the power to wheels.” Every improvement since then — from V8 engines to power steering — has just been an iteration on the theme. A little faster, a little more efficient, a little safer, but iteration, not transformation. Marketers are fantastic at iteration. It’s part of the job! We’re great at A/B testing, optimization, and continuous improvement. But at the heart of it, a lot of us are still working with a souped-up version of the same old tactics we’ve always used. Yes, we’ve gone digital. Yes, we’ve automated X and Y and we’re on Z and W channels. But we’re not inventing the engine; we’re just breeding faster horses. That’s why I get excited when I see something genuinely novel in our profession. And Lisa Sharapata and her colleagues at 6sense have the goods. We had the privilege of interviewing Lisa during B2BMX, and she discussed some big ideas that we’re still wrapping our heads around. The death of the MQL. The “dark funnel.” It’s nothing less than a fundamental rethinking of the theory and practice of marketing, one that brings together sales and marketing and refocuses both around revenue.

Scroll down past the embeds for a few highlights from the conversation. Break Free B2B Interview with Lisa Sharapata Timeline and Highlights 1:00 Account engagement platforms and the dark funnel 4:30 The role of the BDR for inbound marketing 6:00 Sales and marketing: Together at last 7:15 Content strategy & SEO in dynamic marketing 10:15 Engagement is the new oil, but are we ready to drill? 15:30 The end of MQLs Lisa: We'll create a segment based on our ICP, our ideal customer profile and keywords, depending on how we want to set it up, what they're searching for, what stage they're in. We have multiple different campaigns running all the time and it's dynamic, so we're seeing what these groups are searching. And they're in consideration right now, so we're gonna run this type of content and this type of display to them. And then lo and behold, they're starting to engage. More and more people are engaging, more of them have come to our website, they're now familiar with us, so we're gonna change up the content. And it's all dynamic and running based on how we've set the segments up to run and what content we've set up to target those accounts. So it moves dynamically, as they shift what they're doing, we can do all that from our platform. And then on the flip side this all feeds into Salesforce and you see this, basically this map and timeline of everything that's happening. We have a persona map that fills out this grid and you can see in your targets who's doing what, green, yellow, red, who's engaged who's not, who do you need to engage, who clicked on what, when, what keyword did they search for, what brought them to your website, what pages did they go to. You can look at all this information, but then it's also aggregating that and turning it into data that you can use to say, "Here's the next best action, here's someone in that account that is probably a key decision-maker, that you should buy their contact information". So it's like this whole 360 of what you do with that account. Susan: That's awesome. Okay so the technology is obviously extremely strong, but it can't be done without humans. Lisa: very true, very true. Like you can see my I love BDR t-shirt, we actually declared this week BDR appreciation week. I kind of started from the marketing background because that's my background, but a salesperson comes in, they have a dashboard in the morning telling them here's the accounts that are hot, here's the ones that are engaging, here's the ones that you should go after today and here's now what you should do and it breaks it down into next best actions. And typically that would be a BDR or SDR role, that needs to figure out "Okay, I'm gonna make a video for them and send them as email, what should I talk to them about? Okay they were searching these keywords, so they must be interested and have this problem, here's how I can offer value." Instead of just the shot in the dark like guessing, hoping that they're saying the right thing, or just spraying as many emails out there, phone calls as they can make in a day. We're getting really strategic and helping them and it takes all the legwork out too, like they don't have to spend thirds of their day doing research, it cuts that way down so that they have it all their fingertips and then they can just start taking action when they come in in the morning. Susan: so then do the BDR's love marketing? Lisa: So, I have never in my career, been in an organization where sales and marketing work hand in hand, I mean it's truly a night and day difference, because first of all we agree on "Here's the best accounts", because you can see what they're doing in the dark funnel, you know they are in my ideal customer profile but they're also in market. They're in market, before they even come inbound, we know they're in market. So sales loves marketing and marketing loves sales, because we are working together toward the same goal now. Susan: Okay can we get back to the MQL's? Because you have declared 2020 as the year of no MQL's, so to sales execs, senior execs that sometimes can mean no accountability. Lisa: Yeah, so I mean here's the thing: If you talk to most sales execs and you ask them "How valuable do you think the MQL's really are?" and "How often do they turn into an SQL?" and “When marketing says they're gonna give you this many MQL's, how meaningful is that truly to you?" Most of the time they're like "Yeah, marketing is gonna throw these scans from their event over the fence and tell us to work on them." And they don't really put a lot of value in them. But when we say we're gonna give you this amount of pipeline, we're gonna generate this amount of revenue, and we can start to show that predictability, in saying this is what of your accounts are in market right now, that is worth this amount of pipeline to you and we can actually see it coming and help deliver it in a predictable way.. I'll tell you what, they are never going to want to go back to a MQL again. Stay tuned to the TopRank Marketing Blog and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more Break Free B2B interviews.

q सपने और हकीकत के बीच का अंतर ही ‘कर्म’ कहते हैं By Published On :: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:33:00 GMT लोग कहते हैं कि अगर आप ‘कर्म’ करेंगे तो किस्मत आपके लिए दरवाजे खोलती जाएगी। ये ऐसे ही दो उदाहरण हैं।पहली कहानी: इस हफ्ते मुझे किसी ने ललिता की तस्वीर भेजी, जिसने विश्वेश्वरैया टेक्नोलॉजिकल यूनिवर्सिटी में इंजीनियरिंग शाखा में टॉप करने पर गोल्ड मेडल जीता था। तस्वीर भेजने वाले ने साथ में मैसेज लिखा था, ‘आपको ललिता की कहानी पसंद आएगी, खासतौर पर इसलिए क्योंकि ऐसे लोग जिनके अशिक्षित माता-पिता आजीविका के लिए सब्जी बेचते हैं, वे शायद ही एयरोनॉटिकल इंजीनियरिंग जैसे विषय चुनें।’ मैं उनसे सहमत था इसलिए तय किया कि मैं ललिता का सफर देखूंगा। वह अपने पूरे परिवार में पहली ऐसी व्यक्ति है, जिसे गोल्ड मेडल मिला है।विशेष बात यह है कि उनके पिता राजेंद्र और मां चित्रा कर्नाटक की चित्रदुर्गा म्युनिसिपल काउंसिल के हिरियूर गांव में सब्जी बेचते हैं, जहां आय हमेशा बहुत कम रहती है। वे दोनों पहली कक्षा तक ही पढ़े हैं, बावजूद इसके उन्होंने अपने तीनों बच्चों की शिक्षा पर ध्यान दिया। ललिता से छोटा बच्चा फैशन डिजाइनिंग की पढ़ाई कर रहा है, जबकि तीसरा बच्चा स्थानीय पॉलिटेक्निक कॉलेज से डिप्लोमा कर रहा है। सबसे अच्छी बात यह है कि तीनों बच्चे बारी-बारी से सब्जी बेचने की जिम्मेदारी भी निभाते हैं।ललिता स्कूल बोर्ड परीक्षाओं से ही टॉपर रही थी। जब उसने ऐसा ही प्रदर्शन कॉलेज में भी जारी रखा तो कॉलेज प्रिंसिपल ने हॉस्टल की फीस पूरी तरह माफ कर दी। ललिता पर काम का कितना भी प्रेशर हो, वो रोज तीन घंटे जरूर पढ़ती थी। उसने कभी ट्यूशन नहीं ली, लेकिन क्लास की एक्टिविटी हमेशा समय पर पूरी करती थी। इन दो अनुशासनों से उसके जीवन में दबाव नहीं रहा और वह परीक्षा के दौरान निश्चिंत रह पाई।क्या आप कल्पना कर सकते हैं कि दो सब्जी बेचने वालों को दीक्षांत समारोह में बैठकर कैसा महसूस हुआ होगा, जब उनकी बच्ची को इस साल 8 फरवरी को कर्नाटक के राज्यपाल ने गोल्ड मेडल से नवाजा?दूसरी कहानी: आपको याद है, कैसे 18 जनवरी 2020 को अभिनेत्री शबाना आजमी के एक्सीडेंट की खबर ने हमें चौंका दिया था। अगली सुबह अखबारों में मुंबई-पुणे एक्सप्रेस हाईवे पर शबाना आजमी की कार से निकलने में मदद करते एक ‘आर्मी मैन’ की तस्वीर नजर आई। क्या कभी सोचा है कि वह आर्मी मैन कौन था, जिसने शबाना को सुरक्षित बाहर निकलने और फिर जल्दी से अस्पताल पहुंचने में मदद की?लाइफ सेविंग फाउंडेशन के संस्थापक देवेंद्र पटनायक भी तस्वीर वायरल होने के बाद से इस युवा आर्मी मैन को ढूंढ रहे थे। उन्होंने महाराष्ट्र के सभी आर्मी हेडक्वार्टर्स से संपर्क किया। लेकिन उन्हें यह जानकर निराशा हुई कि तस्वीर में दिख रहा आदमी किसी भी आर्मी विंग से नहीं है। फिर देवेंद्र ने उस अस्पताल से संपर्क किया जिसमें शबाना भर्ती हुई थीं और वहां से उस एंबुलेंस के बारे में पता किया जो उन्हें हॉस्पिटल लेकर आई थी। इससे वे महाराष्ट्र सिक्योरिटी फोर्सेस के सिक्योरिटी गार्ड विवेकानंद योगे तक पहुंचे, जो एक्सप्रेसवे पर तैनात था।हादसे वाले दिन उस गार्ड ने सबसे पहले शबाना की मदद की थी, जब उनकी कार एक ट्रक के पिछले हिस्से से टकरा गई थी। जब उसने आवाज सुनी तो वह दो किलोमीटर दौड़ा और देखा कि घाट वाली सड़क पर हादसा हुआ है। तब उसे यह नहीं पता था कि अंदर कौन है। उसने शबाना के हादसे के बाद वैसा ही किया, जैसा करने का उसे प्रशिक्षण मिला है। यह कहने की आवश्यकता नहीं है कि योगे को अब न सिर्फ संस्थानों ने सम्मानित किया, बल्कि अब बड़े लोगों की प्रसिद्धि के बीच में भी वह चमकेगा।फंडा यह है कि जीवन में अनगिनत दरवाजे मिलते हैं। अगर आप मेहनती हैं तो आप उनमें से कुछ दरवाजे खोलेंगे। अगर आप होशियार हैं तो आप कई दरवाजे खोलेंगे और अगर आप जोश से भरे हैं, तो आपके लिए हर दरवाजा खुद खुलेगा। Download Dainik Bhaskar App to read Latest Hindi News Today प्रतीकात्मक फोटो। Full Article
q ‘हुं तने प्रेम करूं छुं’ By Published On :: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:42:00 GMT आनंद एल राय की फिल्म ‘हैप्पी भाग जाएगी’ के एक दृश्य में इस आशय का संवाद है कि मधुबाला से युवा को प्रेम है और उसके अब्बा को भी मधुबाला से प्रेम रहा है, परंतु सवाल यह है कि मधुबाला किसे प्रेम करती थी? मधुबाला को चाहने वालों की फेहरिस्त बड़ी लंबी है- नागरिकों के रजिस्टर की तरह। मधुबाला को दिलीप कुमार से प्रेम था और मधुबाला के लालची पिता अताउल्लाह खान भी यह तथ्य जानते थे।खान साहब ने दिलीप कुमार से कहा कि वे एक शर्त पर इस निकाह की इजाजत दे सकते हैं कि शादी के बाद वे दोनों केवल अताउल्लाह खान द्वारा बनाई जाने वाली फिल्मों में अभिनय करेंगे। दिलीप कुमार अपने काम में सौदा नहीं कर सकते थे। उनके पिता भी उनके अभिनय करने से खफा थे।एक दिन पिता अपने पुत्र दिलीप कुमार को गांधीजी के साथी मौलाना अब्दुल कलाम आजाद से मिलाने ले गए और गुजारिश की कि इसे भांडगीरी करने से रोकें। वे अभिनय को भांडगीरी मानते थे। आजाद साहब ने दिलीप कुमार से कहा कि जो भी काम करो उसे इबादत की तरह करना। मौलाना साहब से वचनबद्ध दिलीप कुमार अताउल्लाह खान की बात कैसे मानते।यह प्रेम कहानी पनपी नहीं। मधुबाला, दिलीप कुमार को कभी भूल नहीं पाईं। जीवन के कैरम बोर्ड में दिलीपिया संजीदगी की रीप से टकराकर क्वीन मधुबाला किशोर कुमार के पॉकेट में जा गिरी। राज कपूर और नरगिस की प्रेम कहानी ‘बरसात’ से शुरू हुई। ‘बरसात’ के एक दृश्य में राज कपूर की एक बांह में वायलिन तो दूसरी बांह में नरगिस हैं।गोयाकि संगीत और सौंदर्य से उनका जीवन राेशन है। इस दृश्य का स्थिर चित्र उनकी फिल्मों की पहचान बन गया। आर.के. स्टूडियो में यही पहचान कायम रखी। अशोक कुमार और नलिनी जयवंत ने कुछ प्रेम कहानियों में अभिनय किया। अशोक कुमार विवाहित व्यक्ति थे। नलिनी जयवंत और अशोक कुमार दोनों ही चेंबूर में रहते थे।अभिनय छोड़ने के बाद कभी-कभी नलिनी जयवंत अशोक कुमार के चौकीदार से अशोक कुमार की सेहत की जानकारी लेती थीं। कभी-कभी एक टिफिन भी दे जाती थीं। भोजन की टेबल पर व्यंजन देखकर अशोक कुमार जान लेते थे कि कौन सा पकवान नलिनी जयवंत के घर से आया है।जल सेना अफसर की बेटी कल्पना कार्तिक ने देव आनंद के साथ कुछ फिल्मों में अभिनय किया। देव आनंद को यह भरम हुआ था कि उनके बड़े भाई चेतन आनंद भी कल्पना की ओर आकर्षित हैं। उन्होंने स्टूडियो में ही पंडित को बुलाकर लंच ब्रेक में कल्पना से विवाह कर लिया। ज्ञातव्य है कि कल्पना कार्तिक बांद्रा स्थित चर्च में प्रार्थना करने प्रतिदिन आती थीं।वह प्रार्थना थी या प्रायश्चित यह कोई नहीं बता सकता। बोनी कपूर ‘मिस्टर इंडिया’ में श्रीदेवी को अनुबंधित करना चाहते थे। चेन्नई जाकर उन्होंने श्रीदेवी की मां से संपर्क किया कि वे पटकथा सुन लें। उन्हें इंतजार करने के लिए कहा गया। हर रोज रात में बोनी कपूर श्रीदेवी के बंगले के चक्कर काटते थे।यह संभव है कि उसी समय श्रीदेवी भी नींद नहीं आने के कारण घर में चहलकदमी करती हों। संभव है कि आकाश में किसी घुमक्कड़ यक्ष ने तथास्तु कहकर यह जोड़ी को आशीर्वाद दे दिया हो। वर्तमान में रणबीर कपूर और आलिया भट्ट की प्रेम कहानी सुर्खियों में है। खबर है कि ऋषि कपूर के पूरी तरह सेहतमंद होते ही शहनाई बजेगी।भूल सुधार : 13 फरवरी को प्रकाशित गुड़-गुलगुले लेख में पहले पैराग्राफ को यूं पढ़ा जाना चाहिए कि- स्मृति ईरानी को फिल्म थप्पड़ की थीम पसंद है, लेकिन फिल्मकार के राजनीतिक विचारों को नापंसद करती हैं। Download Dainik Bhaskar App to read Latest Hindi News Today ‘हैप्पी भाग जाएगी’ का पोस्टर। Full Article
