TARGUSinfo Lead Scoring Summit: Recap

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Whether or not you have been hiding under the proverbial lead generation rock you have redoubtably heard the buzz around lead scoring. If your a direct response veteran you know how important lead scoring is to the success of performance based campaigns. Over the last 2-3 years lead scoring in the lead gen space has become the number one buzz phrase used at every conference and networking event and for good reason. Lead scoring adds uber insight into your lead generation campaigns and can drive serious levels of optimization and customization. In the minds of lead buyers across the world the questions still persists: “Is lead scoring right for my company?”

At this point you’re expecting me to give you the magical answer, yes! However, instead I am going to be completely, 100% honest with you – I have no idea. I think we can all understand that each buyer needs to closely evaluate how lead scoring could benefit their operations to be able to answer that question appropriately. The first step for buyers is to determine what questions are they looking to have answered by lead scoring. Answering this question will get you on the right path to deciding whether or not lead scoring is right for your company.

Event recap from eduWEB

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

For those involved with the online education community, the highly anticipated annual eduWeb Conference 2010 did not disappoint. Bringing a wealth of knowledge and resources from experienced professionals in the education field, the conference was held at the Doubletree hotel in the Magnificent Mile district of Chicago, a city that boasts of dozens of higher education establishments.

On the forefront of discussion for many marketers was how to reach their audience in the online space and how to do it with shrinking budgets?  Session after session seemed laden with these questions, and all the while these same marketers have the task of trying to be savvy with today’s technologically-sophisticated students. Social media is ingrained in the today’s student lifestyle. The fact of the matter is if you don’t exist in online, then you don’t exist. A speaker at one session revealed data that showed nearly three fourths of high school seniors expect college and universities to participate in social media.

LeadsCon, without question, is the must attend event for all players in the Lead Generation Industry. Whether you are a buyer, seller, or service provider, LeadsCon offers excellent content and networking opportunities for all. If you missed the LeadsCon East event, you must make it a point to attend the larger LeadsCon event in Las Vegas.

This year’s NYC event had an excellent selection of content, and they specifically blocked off 2 hours of private sessions for lead buyers. These sessions covered “10 Biggest Legal Pitfalls” that buyers need to avoid, lead buying tips and why speed to contact is so important.
