DEFINITION OF A SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT.A Sales-Marketing SLA defines what each team commits to accomplishing in order to support the other in reaching the shared revenue goal(s).

Page 54: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

An SLA crystalizesthe alignment around goals.

Page 55: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

MARKETING Æ SALESNumber and quality of leads required to hit company revenue goals.

Speed and depth of lead follow-up that makes economic sense.

SALES Æ MARKETING

SLAs GO BOTH WAYS

Page 56: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

CALCULATING THE SLA

How many leads of a certain quality does a sales rep need to make quota?

• Quota (revenue) / avg. revenue per customer = # customers needed

• Customers / avg. lead to customer close % = # leads needed

• May vary by type (quality) of lead

MARKETING Æ SALES

Page 57: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

How many call/email attempts to engage should a sales rep make to every lead to not waste leads?

With X leads and Y hours/month, how many follow-up attempts should a sales rep be able to complete per lead?

SALES Æ MARKETING

CALCULATING THE SLA

Page 58: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

• Marketing will deliver 100 leads per sales representative, per month.

• Sales will make 1 attempt to engage in 4 business hours, with 5 attempts in 14 days.

MARKETING SALES

Page 61: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

• Do you send leads to sales and never hear about them again?

• Do you end up creating and trying to manage duplicate leads?

• Do you send leads to sales with the basic contact information, but without intelligence about what content those leads consumed?

• Are you unsure of the impact their marketing efforts are having on revenue?

Questions to identify if you need to set up closed-loop reporting:

Page 62: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

Closed-loop reporting allows you to pass more intel and get feedback from Sales.

• Benefits for Marketing• Get up-to-date contact info and status updates• Learn which marketing programs are working and which aren’t• Increase Marketing ROI

• Benefits for Sales• De-duplicate leads• Help prioritize leads• Help make warmer calls• Increase close rate and Sales ROI

Page 63: 757 HUG Meetup 7/20/17 - Smarketing Presentation

1. Analyze which marketing sources (organic, social, referral, etc.) are producing the most customers.

2. Use conversion assists to help you understand how each individual piece of content you create contributes to closing customers.

3. Provide a timeline of all of the interactions a contact took prior to becoming an MQL or a customer.

4. Pass information to sales that can help aid them in connecting and engaging with contacts within the first 24 hours

5. Send automatic updates to your sales team when their leads revisit the website or take other key actions, to make sure to follow up at the best time.
