Jonathan Kazarian this should be sent in a newsletter to every CMO!!!! This story must shift within the events. Getting Sales >< Marketing to be aligned in their execution of events is a HUGE Key. When the event purely becomes lead gen machine then the event becomes predictable for the attendees and less valuable. - Give us your information so we can build a campaign and spam you! - If you want this free "resource" scan this code and give us data so we can build a campaign and spam you. -If you have interest in our services fill this out and we will spam you.
Another CMO just told me “Our event isn’t generating enough leads.” Stop. I’m sick of hearing this. Your event program is not your lead gen engine. It’s to drive demand. Build trust. And create mind share. Sales <> Marketing <> Events We are on the same team. Your event program shouldn’t be focused on the tippy top of the funnel. - Max 20% ToFu - Aim for 40-60% MoFu - Remainder - split between Customers and BoFu. When you push the events team …or the marketing team for that matter. Toward focusing purely on lead gen. You alter what they create. Which erodes quality and, thus, trust. Which hurts your brand. Your event program influences pipeline. It progresses people through the funnel. You can’t measure it purely on “leads generated”.
