THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESSFUL LEAD MANAGEMENT
Join us for a session on lead management strategies using Lean Data. B2B marketers spend an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and resources creating demand for their products and services. But many fail at getting these precious leads to the right team member for timely follow up. In order to extract the full value of every lead, you need a best-in-class lead management strategy. Join our session to learn the recipe to successfully manage your leads by leveraging the right data, technology, and processes across the revenue engine.
This session will be presented by Jay Vira.
FROM MARKETING TO SUPPORT, TAKE YOUR CUSTOMERS ON A JOURNEY DOWN THE APPINIUM RIVER
We’ve all worked at organizations that live in silos. Marketing has its goals and initiatives and rarely do they engage with, say, what the Learning & Development team is doing. We’ll use the analogy of the River to illustrate how that can change when you connect the efforts of each department by creating and tracking engagement with media across the organization.
This session will be presented by Steven Jacobson.
THE HAND-OFF BETWEEN MARKETING & SALES POWERED BY PROCESS, SALESFORCE & PARDOT
When does marketing hand off a lead to sales? Do we have enough intel or what are our criteria as a company to know when that transition should occur? In addition, what are we doing with the other 50-65% of contacts or existing leads in our database that are not getting any attention? What happens when someone re-engages with us that is already a lead or a contact in our database?
Overall, we will showcase how to reinforce your business process by configuring your CRM to enable adoption and visibility across departments.
This session will be presented by Jennifer Schneider.

GDPR, CASL, CAN-SPAM, OH MY!

This is a broad survey of the various aspects you may or may not have thought about. And some practical ways to build Pardot towards a good user experience and keeping your legal team… not unhappy….

We will explore a few different meanings of “integrate with Pardot” and how we can accomplish the ever-present goal of making our tools work with each other. This isn’t a how-to code session (though you may want one of your coders to attend) rather it’s an exploration of the different ways we can integrate, what the benefits of each way would be, and just enough geekiness that a business user or marketer can talk intelligently to the programmers who may need to get this done.
This session will be presented by Lauren Drugan & Mike Creuzer.
