A Better Salesforce Experience for Marketing

 

Coming soon to marketing users is the Marketing/Inside Sales Playbook which will provide a more customized and improved Salesforce(CRM). The goal of this initiative is to provide a more tailored end to end experience based on role.  Marketing users can look forward to functional and aesthetic updates across key pages (e.g. Home, Campaign etc.) and analytics.

 

A group of marketing users, nominated by marketing leadership, is currently working with the Lead and Opportunity Management(CRM) team to provide ideas and requirements for development. The release of the Playbook to Salesforce is targeted for May 15th.

spacerIncrease Social Media Engagement

 

In addition to content that is interesting and educational, right-sizing your social media posts can increase customer engagement. Clear and concise posts of ~100 characters are considered a best practice for Twitter and LinkedIn and typically achieve higher engagement with customers. In writing posts, also consider the character limitations below:

 

Twitter – 280 character limit per tweet – 13 characters for link and space included.

 

LinkedIn – 220 characters or 3 lines of text per post will display before truncating and requiring the reader to click on “…see more” to view the remainder of your post.

Is your marketing segment pulling in the right contacts?

 

Take a look at your bullseye segment and let us know if there are any particular mapped functional areas, mapped levels, IQVIA segmentation categories, companies or specific titles that you need to exclude from your bullseye segment.

Email Performance Spotlight

spacer

Real World takes the spot for the top performing email campaign in January. The SOMS (Sub-population Optimization and Modeling Solutions) LeadGen campaign has brought in 28 MQLs. The campaign included an initial email driving to a landing page for a whitepaper and an MQL form. This was followed up a couple of weeks later with an additional email driving to a new landing page hosting a factsheet.

 

The technique of including an MQL form alongside a downloadable asset has proven quite successful. Kudos to the Real World Marketing team! Keep up the good work!
