Beamery improve Lead Management and Lead Conversion Rates

The Client

Beamery is a global talent platform that helps the world’s largest and most innovative companies create more human talent experiences and unlock the skills and potential of their global workforce.

The Challenge

Beamery identified that they were having several issues with their lead management processes which were impacting conversion rates. Key pain points included:

• Old leads and unqualified leads being routed to Sales reps with minimal engagement

• Leads coming which didn’t match their ICP

• Limited visibility within Marketing on the results from their lead generation efforts

Beamery wanted to address these issues to ensure that only quality leads were sent for follow up. This would enable Sales teams to be more efficient by focusing on the leads which have a higher propensity to have a meaningful conversation and result in pipeline.

The Solution

Upon an initial review, we identified two key areas to solve the challenges faced by Sales and Marketing.

Revenue Operations Technology

1. Reviewed and updated Beamery’s Lead scoring model. We adjusted the demographic score to ensure relevancy and fit and behavioral scores to ensure leads were sales ready. By implementing score caps and decays, we ensured that engaged leads were routed at the right time, solving for issues of cold and unqualified leads qualifying as an MQL

2. Aligned Marketo’s Lead Lifecycle Model with the sales model to ensure the proper flow of leads, adding a path to recycle leads, resetting their lead score, and enabling marketing to nurture them until they were sales-ready. This alignment provided clear visibility and alignment, ensuring that both marketing and sales teams understood where leads were in the buying process, thus improving communication and collaboration.

3. Sales outreach tool: Refined the data to provide clarity on where a person is in the follow up process. This data was then synced with Salesforce to provide teams with visibility and enabled automation to recycle leads who weren’t sales ready.

People and Processes

1. Lead scoring and management processes work best with active monitoring and feedback loops with Sales. TheySync partnered with Beamery to facilitate and set up a framework for meaningful collaboration between the teams to share insights on lead quality.

2. Worked with sales to clear lead queues, ensuring only relevant leads were with reps for follow-up. This enabled the team to actively manage leads and ensure SLA compliance

3. Reports and dashboards were created to provide actionable insights on lead volume, performance, and areas needing attention. These insights are used to steer meaningful conversations between Sales and Marketing

The Results

After reviewing the lead management and operations, Beamery saw the following results:

• Quality leads were routed to sales, allowing them to focus on valuable leads and dedicate time to other revenue-generating activities.

• Active collaboration and alignment on goals between sales and marketing teams with improved visibility and accountability to drive more opportunity and revenue from campaigns.

• Early indicators of success showed a 3X increase in MQL to SAL rate demonstrating a higher number of leads being worked and an increase in their lead conversion rate

This strategic approach not only optimized Beamery's lead management process but also fostered a stronger, more collaborative relationship between the sales and marketing teams, driving better results and higher efficiency in lead conversion.
