BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Sep 8, 2011) - Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
The event will address the challenges faced by today's sales and marketing organizations to adopt and manage a myriad of tools, technologies and methodologies to effectively manage and execute programs, all to maximize every opportunity generated by marketing for conversion to revenue by sales, despite reductions in headcount, budget and other resources.
"Marketing is increasingly metrics-driven, with corporate revenue considered the preeminent yardstick for success. As a result, marketing leaders are seeking closer alignment with Sales, and Aberdeen's research shows clear correlation between Best-in-Class performance and sales and marketing alignment," according to Trip Kucera, Senior Research Analyst for Aberdeen Group's Marketing Effectiveness and Strategy research practice. "Aberdeen's Sales-Driven Marketing Summit provides a peer-driven forum for the exchange of best practices and success studies that will give attendees real, actionable insight to closing the gap in sales-marketing alignment."
Presentation and session topics will include "Delivering the Revenue Equation as a Marketing Leader," "Collaborative Message Development throughout the Entire Marketing-to-Sales Lifecycle," "BI for the CMO: Best Practices in Leveraging Business Analytics for ROMI," "Times Have Changed-How Sales and Marketing Must Adapt to New Customer Buying Behavior," "From Sales-Driven Marketing to Marketing-Driven Sales: Using Engagement with Lead Management to Feed the Pipeline," and others featuring C-level and VP-level executives.
