IT’S TIME TO
YOUR MARKETING. TRANSFORM
Meet
Jennifer Grimes
Jennifer is an Industry
Marketing Manager at
Avanade with
responsibility for the
company's North
America Microsoft
Dynamics ERP go-to-
markets and Health
CRM marketing.
Like most large Microsoft Partners, Avanade needs
to GENERATE AWARENESS and DRIVE TRAFFIC to
its ERP and CRM websites. More importantly, they
need to CONVERT that traffic into sales-ready leads.
Jennifer has historically
relied on traditional partner
marketing tactics like trade
shows, webcasts, direct
mail and email to reach her
objectives.
But that was before Jennifer realized
how effective her efforts would be if she
focused less on getting in front of
prospects and more on getting
found online and driving
So Jennifer decided to
transform her marketing to
focus more on blogging,
search engine optimization
and social media to drive
awareness and traffic, as well
as insides sales to nurture and
qualify sales-ready leads.
And the Results?

Qualifying is all about contacting, scoring and converting leads into sales ready opportunities – or not!

Marketing says:
“That is crazy! We
give you tons of leads.
You just don’t follow
up on them properly!”
Sales calls a few
unqualified leads and
finds they are a waste of
time – then they stop
calling the rest of the
leads.
Inside sales teams are uniquely effective at contacting leads and qualifying them into sales opportunities.
It takes between 3 and 8 touches – including phone calls and emails – to contact a prospect.
