Getting Started With Sales/Marketing Alignment
How are we going to do that?
● Creating an SLA
● Aligning properties with your
process and priorities
● Understanding the handoff
using timing + fit
● Creating a judicial branch
● Having weekly or quarterly
meetings, newsletters, and
more
What does success look like today?
Giving you the tools to improve (or
maybe even kick off) the partnership
What does ultimate success look like?
Marketing hits their traffic and lead
gen goals, passes great leads to
Sales, Sales follows up, Sales hits
their targets, we’re all happy

● Lead scoring complements automation processes
● Goal is to try to calculate when someone
becomes “sales ready”
● Lead scoring starts with defining what a
Marketing Qualified Lead is for your business. A
marketing qualified lead (MQL) is a lead judged
more likely to become a customer compared to
other leads based on certain criteria.
Whatis Lead Scoring?
#nychug
A Dive into the
ADDIE Framework
● What are the attributes of leads who became customers?
● What are the attributes of leads who didn't become customers?
● Which attributes indicate someone's a good fit or bad fit for our product?
● Focus on Fit: A contact with a job title “HR Business Partner” who works at a financial services
company in the U.K. with more than 5,000 employees.
● Focus on Interest Level: A contact with any title and works at any company who has requested a
product demonstration.
Quick Tips for Creating an MQL
Definition

Let’s Talk Scoring Strategy
Demographic Scoring
Behavioral Scoring
Negative Scoring

#nychug
Quick Tips to Get Going
● Start with what you
already know
● Use a 0-100 scale
● Capture better data
(progressive profiling)
● Use Excel to map it out
(this will help you with
math along the way)
