B2B Marketing: From ROI to Customer Journey Success
Managing customer journeys is CMO’s top challenge

• 96% of CMOs: Poor data quality & data management
• Rapidly changing consumer habits and their channel preferences
What are the challenges?
Increasing pressure on CMOs from their executive boards to deliver return on investment (ROI)
The benefits of improved understanding of both customer data and their buying journeys is, according to Aberdeen Group’s research, a 54% greater annual
improvement in the return on marketing investment (ROMI) metric.
These marketers also increase revenue from customer referrals by more than 300%.

Marketing needs to align
Why?
Marketers can become customer centric and accountable
Marketing Customer
How can we put this into practice?
Marketers should create integrated programs along the customer journey
Marketing programs are linked to one buyer/customer
Marketing programs have a central theme, based on the buyer’s/customer’s needs
How do we create integrated programs?
1. ProgramsThe overall plan. One buyer persona. Central theme. Can involve multiple journey stages.
2. DialoguesSet of tactics. One journey stage. Content matches information needs for that stage.
3. TacticsMarketer’s means to engage. Online. Offline. (eg Webinar, Events, Email, SEA, Online display, Whitepaper, Video)

How to measure success
Customer Journey results can be measured on three levels:
1. Program
2. Dialogue
3. Tactics
Total program results (new, existing)
Results per stage (eg awareness, consideration)
Results of individual tactics (eg webinars, whitepapers)
Program success
Metrics on program level provide insight into total performance in terms of business outcomes.

Tactic
Tactics have their own return and operational metrics. Return metrics need to be placed in the context of the dialogue they are used in
6. The clarity testIs any ambiguity possible in interpreting the results?
7. The so-what testCan and will the data be acted upon, i.e. is it actionable?
8. The timeliness testCan the data be accessed rapidly and frequently enough for action?
9. The cost testIs the measure worth the cost of measurement?
10. The gaming testIs the measure likely to encourage undesirable or inappropriate behaviours?
Checklist for measuring marketing success
1. The truth test Are we really measuring what we set out to measure?
2. The focus test Are we only measuring what we set out to measure?
3. The relevancy testIs it the right measure of the performance measure we want to track?
4. The consistency testWill the data always be collected in the same way whoever measures it?
5. The access testIs it easy to locate and capture the data needed to make the measurement? The Ten Measures Design Tests – Prof. Neely
Optimization: what works well for which buyer and in which stage?
Use historical data to evaluate and optimize performance of tactics for different buyers and customers.
• Experiment with tactics• Explore channels and platforms• Capture data per program and
dialogue• Share learnings, continually
improve
From customer journey to customer value
Eventually, everything you do will impact customer value. “Aim to recover your CAC in <
12 months, otherwise your business will require too much
capital to grow.”
“It appears that LTV should be about 3 x CAC for a viable
SaaS or other form of recurring revenue model.”
