A B2B SaaS Stricken With Ineffective Lead Qualification & Flatlining Sales

Our client, a business facing persistent underperformance in sales despite a strong product and marketing team, sought a solution to the disconnect between their sales and marketing departments. The marketing team generated leads but lacked clear communication with the sales team on closing deals, leading to ineffective qualification and nurturing of leads and missed opportunities for revenue. This situation caused frustration for both sales and marketing, impacting the company’s ROI.

Our client struggled with a manual and inefficient lead management process, leading to missed opportunities and poor resource utilization. They also faced difficulties tracking the success of their lead generation efforts.

To overcome these challenges, Xgrid’s certified Marketo experts implemented the Marketo Revenue Cycle Modeler, providing a custom solution for automated lead movement through the sales funnel stages.

Marketo Revenue Cycle Model Delivers Staggering Results by Transforming Lead Funnel into Revenue Growth

Our team partnered with the client’s sales and marketing departments to develop a comprehensive lead lifecycle framework built on the RCM Model that would drive their revenue growth. To achieve this, we first established the critical stages of the revenue cycle and defined the specific status of leads at each stage, along with the criteria for entering and exiting each stage.

The lead lifecycle framework we developed consisted of the following stages: 

• Lead Generation: Where potential customers express interest in the company’s products or services.
• MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead) Stage: Where leads were evaluated based on their level of engagement and interest.
•  SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) Stage: Where leads were deemed ready to be passed on to the sales team after meeting specific criteria 
• Opportunity Stage: Where the sales team worked on closing the deal by implementing targeted strategies such as lead scoring, marketing campaigns, and personalized follow-ups. 
• Conversion Stage: Where leads became paying customers through strong closing strategies and the use of tools like CRM to track progress and monitor customer satisfaction.

Throughout this well-defined and intense lead lifecycle, we made sure to nurture and qualify leads at the appropriate stages, thereby increasing the chances of converting them into paying customers. 

We also accounted for deviations from the main path to success, ensuring that the lead lifecycle framework was comprehensive and effective. This approach helped our client to improve the overall efficiency of their sales and marketing departments, leading to increased revenue and ROI.

To efficiently apply the RCM lead lifecycle model, Xgrid utilized state triggers and transition rules. For example, leads labeled as “lead” would automatically progress to the “MQL” stage upon reaching a specific level of engagement, ensuring a smooth and prompt flow of leads through the funnel, with a focus on prioritizing the most promising leads.

To gain insights into lead flow through the funnel, Xgrid employed Marketo’s Success Path Analyzer. This tool provides comprehensive Marketo revenue cycle analytics that impacts lead conversion, such as conversion rates, lead flow, and lead sources. With this information, our client was able to identify potential challenges in the funnel and make data-driven decisions to improve their lead conversion rate.
