CUSTOMER CONTACT - SCORING DILEMMA
In a virtual meeting, a marketing executive in
business attire, speaks directly to the camer
a. The screen displays the executive's name and title (CMO).
CMO
It's nice to meet you. Welcome to our growing B2B tech SaaS company. I heard you've spoken with the CIO. Good. Listen, I have a specific concern I'd like you to evaluate.
Marketing, my team, we're really ramping up our demand generation activities. We have a lot of leads coming in and we are pushing over an increasing amount of marketing qualified leads to the inside sales team.
(shakes their head)
The volume we're pushing-inside sales is just
getting inundated, and they don't know how to prioritize or who to follow up with first. My team has a lot of data and context to send over to the sales team, but it's just too much for them to take in all at once. I don't want us to waste these opportunities. Tell me, how can I use scoring to help with this challenge we're in9

THE END
At Treat Snack Inc, a company that specializes in unique local ethnic snacks, the new CMO is being bombarded by complaints from the sales team that a high volume of MQLs are being delivered to the sales team. There is no context around why they reached MQL, what it is about them, as well as what they did that caused them to MQL. The CMO decides to overhaul the entire scoring system and build a new method from scratch.
The Sales team is interviewed to understand what indicated a good person to speak with who has a high likelihood of wanting to take a meeting. The Sales team reports that their best leads have the following traits in order of priority starting with the most helpful trait:
1. People who attended a webinar on different types of treats enjoyed in different global regions
2. People who have a title of director and higher, followed by whether the account was larger than 1000 employees
3. People who work for companies that look similar to companies that they have sold to previously
4. People who have a high interest in their chocolate tasting line of products
5. People who search the web for wholesale suppliers of gourmet treats
In which order should the different types of scoring be rolled out?
Building two Custom Objects, one called ''Products'' and one called ''Services'' to link onto Person with relevant fields is the best way to push the data into Marketo Engage. This way, you can store multiple records of products and services for each person, and use an Email Scripting token in the email to personalize it for each recipient. Syncing this data on the ''Person'' level in a number of fields for ''Product'' or ''Service'' would limit the number of products and services you can store for each person, and would require building Segmentations for Product and Service and adding Segments into the Email as Dynamic content for personalization. Creating a maximum of 3 fields for each piece of data for both Products and Services onto the ''Person'' level would also limit the number of products and services you can store for each person, and would require adding each field into Email Scripting tokens then use to turn the module on or off if they have less than 3 products.
