After a successful first half of her day and a good break, Janet is ready to tackle the tasks ahead of her. At 1 pm, Janet reviews the latest campaign metrics. She notices that one of her campaigns is not getting good response rates. She calls the campaign manager into her office to brainstorm getting this campaign back on track. It is determined that the messaging and offers should be tweaked. The campaign manager goes off to make the changes and they agree to discuss the results in a few days.
Next she takes a look at the lead scoring results. She notices many leads in “hot” status. A quick look in the CRM shows that many of these leads have not been followed-up on by the lead qualification team. She heads over to talk to the lead of that team. The conversation is easy because the teams are in close alignment on strategy and incentives. Everyone is working towards the same goals. She determines that the issue is around having too many leads in hot status, but when the lead qual team follows up, not many are converting. She discusses with her Marketing Automation administrator some changes she wants to make to the lead scoring criteria. The changes will be made by the end of the day and they can review the results in a few days again to see if it helps.
At 3 pm, Janet interviews a couple of candidates for her team. She is looking for a business analyst who can help with reporting and data quality. This will be a key role to keep her team supplied with the right information and prospect data to be effective in their campaign efforts. She is looking for someone who can not only crunch the numbers but also analyze the results and bring suggestions to the table. She also wants someone who is familiar with data best practices that can keep their database clean and complete.
At the end of the day, Janet looks back at her dashboard to find some campaigns that are working well. She shoots off some meeting invitations to business leaders to discuss how she might be able to replicate these campaigns with their content. She updates the campaign calendar based on her earlier strategy discussions and shuts down her computer for the night. She’s now off to watch her son’s soccer game secure in the knowledge that her marketing department is an effective and efficient piece of the company’s revenue engine.
