What are the key factors that influence your demand generation budget planning?
While it may be tempting to map out your goals from the top through the bottom of your funnel, experienced demand generation teams start with sales booking/renewal goals first, and work their way backwards. A key consideration when setting goals for each conversion metric are applicable constraints. For example, are your net new booking goals restricted to customers in a particular industry or geography? Do you Sales Qualified Leads (SQL) need a call to confirm before they're handed off to your sales reps? Consider your company and industry specific constraints when setting demand generation goals for each stage of your sales and marketing funnel, starting with your desired monthly/quarterly revenue goal and working backwards.

What are the benefits of co-creating value with your partners?
Partnerships have track records. Ask about your potential partner's results with their other partners over the past 6-12 months. Are these inline with your expectations? Do the same audit for your existing partnerships. What results have they delivered? Are these inline with your new partner's expectations? Setting the right timeline for expected results is often undervalued in partnerships. Yet it is the most common reason for partnerships dying. Because one or both parties expected things to materialize sooner.

Removing your company from the equation keeps your perspective in line with your audience’s needs, wants, and journeys. Once you know what they are missing and how they will look for it, you can perfectly position your story to fill that need in the place where they will be searching for it. Additionally, nobody likes to be talked at these days. If your story requires a passive audience, it will fail. Creating a narrative that is interactive will attract and hold your audience’s attention in a noisy world. If your content lines up with what they need and gives them an opportunity to join in, they will finish your sentence and buy your product.
In This Episode:
- How the ultimate end-user of a B2B purchase leads to a more emotional buying process than B2C
- Why successful marketing storytelling means a focus on characters instead of story
- How changes in audience expectations leads to dynamic and collaborative presentations
- Why winning content means first thinking of how your audience would succeed without your product -

I Learn Therefore I Buy: An Intersection of Learning and Business with Rich Media
Stanford University
If knowledge is the key to decision-making, we live in an age of knowledge abundance for almost every business decision that needs to be made. Yet the more we learn the less we seem to know and thus we find ourselves less decisive than ever. Clearly emotions and our relationships with people, brands and ideas play an integral part in how we make decisions at work. See how these all come together when professionals engage via video and webinars and how rich media influences their…
If knowledge is the key to decision-making, we live in an age of knowledge abundance for almost every business decision that needs to be made. Yet the more we learn the less we seem to know and thus we find ourselves less decisive than ever. Clearly emotions and our relationships with people, brands and ideas play an integral part in how we make decisions at work.
