Social Lead Targeting Technology Now Enables Marketo Users to Auto-Qualify
and Enhance Web Leads
Menlo Park, Calif. (October 1, 2013)Leadspace, Inc. today launched a new
release of its SaaS-based social lead targeting solution that integrates
seamlessly with Marketos (Nasdaq: MKTO) marketing automation software to
give B2B marketers the first automated lead qualification solution to slash
lead response times and lift conversion rates.
With the new release, B2B marketers and inside sales teams can use Leadspace
to not only fill their top-of-funnel with high-quality leads but also
automate and optimize their inbound marketing, which directly translates
into bigger pipelines and lower cost-per-lead.
Make Contact Faster with Auto-Qualification
Research proves that rapid contact is critical to maximizing sales success.
In fact, calling new leads in under a minute can boost conversion rates by
391%. But accurately qualifying leads can be a slow, labor-intensive
process, with sales often missing the opportunity to strike while the iron
is hot.
Leadspace is the only automated solution that helps marketers quickly
identify hyper-targeted leads across numerous data sources, including paid
contact databases, social networks and websites. Using social targeting
technology, Leadspace automatically qualifies leads based on how well they
match up against a companys unique ideal buyer profile.
By uncovering lead information scattered throughout the social web,
Leadspace enriches the leads inside Marketo, said Robin Bordoli, VP,
Partner Ecosystem and General Manager, Social at Marketo. The new
integration helps Marketo users spend their scarcest resource – time – on
their most important leads. Companies can now find the needles in a
haystack.
Auto-enhance campaign leads
Leads gathered through an online program, event or from a third party can
now be automatically prioritized based on the ideal buyer profile. Leadspace
enhances each lead with fresh contact information and social data that it
pulls on-demand from numerous data sources. The enhanced data can then be
fed in the Marketo lead database. This enables marketers to quickly evaluate
program success, ensures campaigns run off the freshest data available, and
allows marketers to develop hyper-targeted campaignssending emails to
people interested in a certain topic, or only to those who use a specific
tool.
The top-quality lead data and precise targeting Leadspace provides are key
to marketing automation success, said Leadspace VP Marketing Ran Gishri.
With the new integration, Marketo users can get a leg up on competition by
uncovering golden opportunities faster and connecting sooner.
The new Leadspace release also includes other enhancements, including a
revamped user interface for generating targeted lead lists, a tighter
integration with Salesforce.com for sales prospecting, and more.
