Demand Generation funnels are a limiting approach.
There’s much more action out there and you can tap into it.
Rick Nendza, VP, IT Deal Alert Qualified Sales Opportunities, TechTarget
August 2016
Glossary
Total Addressable Market IT buyers consuming relevant content in your market. These “searchers” haven’t interacted with your content, so they’re not “leads” for you. Yet their online research habits suggest that they’re in a buying cycle. Also referred to as an “Active Prospect” or “Active Account”.
In-Market Leads Leads that others in your market captured but you did not.
Lead Generation The process of stimulating and capturing interest in your product or service to develop sales pipeline using techniques such as those available through TechTarget’s offerings as described on page 10 and beyond.
Qualified Sales Opportunity™ A TechTarget offering, these are detailed reports on upcoming purchases confirmed by a member of the active customer buying team at the active account.

If the following statements ring true, you should probably spend 10 minutes with this deck
● We want to enable our sales team with a chance at every deal in the market…
● We’re trying to get as much quality into our funnel as we can…
● Because demand generation is only as good as the data I have, I worry that I’m simply missing much of the market entirely…

It’s time to start thinking about a more complete, comprehensive demand generation approach!

Are we missing the forest for the trees?
And is there something we can do about it?

Our funnels only capture what’s already flowing in. It’s not a complete picture.

About your funnel
It’s currently an important part of driving sales outcomes
It’s where your lead generation activities focus
It’s where you measure the quality of both your leads and of your sales/ marketing follow up

Even the most sophisticated marketers only capture a fraction of the total leads active in any given market at any point in time.

Looking at prospecting, the issue is even bigger: There’s an even bigger group of active “searchers” in our Total Addressable Market.

New data sources and data deliverables can give critical added insight into what’s outside of our funnels

Conclusion:
When we step back from our day-to-day heads-down focus on our funnel, suddenly we can see “the forest for the trees”. There’s a lot we’re missing… and there should be ways we can capture more.
