Challenges for Aruba – Marketing and Lead Generation
Key Business Challenges• Lack of consistent and scalable lead and campaign processes
• Everyone dealing with campaigns with leads in their own way
• Lack of lead metrics• No idea of what was happening to leads
• Are marketing programs working?• Could not quantitatively answer the question “How did Campaign
XYZ do?”
Technology Challenges• Integration between systems (Lead Qualification is outsourced)
Lack of Lead Process
Needed something that was consistent and
scalable
System can’t do this for you
Heavy Lifting needs to be done with business
process analysis
Once the process if built, Salesforce.com was used
to help implement it
Lack of Lead Metrics
What’s happening to our leads??
Working through the business process, we
established at which points we wanted to take
measurements
Used Salesforce.com to “build a data trail” within the
system that could be measured and analyzed
Sample Screen Shot
Are Marketing Programs working?
Needed to provide quantitative answers on a per
Campaign level
Need complete campaign information (custom fields
needed to be added)
Needed to combine lead and converted opportunity
information to provide full picture
Sample Screen Shot
How do we solve our technology problem?
Aruba’s Lead Qualification team is outsourced and
has their own instance of Salesforce.com
How do we prevent duplication of data and effort
ANSWER – Give outsourced teams customized,
restrictive access to Salesforce.com
(Note: Salesforce.com PRM could also have been a
potential solution)
How have we leveraged reports and dashboards to drive behavior?
Marketing viewpoint
Self-service for information
Quantitative answers (People care about $$)
Driving Behavior through Dashboards
Lead Qualification dashboards
Weekly meetings driven through dashboard
Everyone can see the same data real-time
No “spreadsheet” excuses
Imagine it. Learn it. Use it.
Tips and Tricks
• Don’t use the system to build your processes. Use
the system to IMPLEMENT your processes
• Don’t be afraid to use custom and required fields
• You can’t report on information that is not captured
in the system (i.e. campaign target industry)
• Pick your dashboard components carefully!
Quiz - Are You a Data Driven Marketer?
How many leads do you generate a month?
