The Challenge - Improve Pipeline Quality

Before considering testing an ABM solution, Powell Software were mainly investing in Google Ads (search & display network) and Linkedin Ads.  The main challenges they were facing were:

  • Lead cost and quality. The main goal was to generate the maximum of leads, so the ads mostly led to a demo request landing page. What the team noticed then is that although having a certain amount of leads per month, the quality was not good enough to correctly serve the sales team.

  • Feedback from sales. A big portion of marketing leads was coming from too small companies, individuals like retired people or fake contacts. SDRs weren’t interested in prioritizing marketing leads.

  • Need to target different verticals. The team had many good pieces of content such as success stories from different verticals or industry-specific blog posts, and the main challenge was to distribute them to the right people at the right time. Platforms like LinkedIn allowed vertical-based and job title-based segmentation but weren’t able to provide insights regarding the level of buyer intent.

What Changed With N.Rich

money Marketing & sales alignment

Instead of just handing the leads over to sales, the marketing team is now able to equip SDRs with data that help focus on the right target accounts. For instance, the sales team now gets ‘Hot Demand’ reports, generated on a weekly basis and containing data about the exact companies showing high intent towards Powell Software’s articles, video ads or website.

Decision makers from specific verticals get targeted with relevant content. Using N.Rich account-based advertising, Powell Software can show industry-specific content, like case studies from similar companies or blog articles addressing typical industry pain points, to the buying committees of relevant companies.

scalability

LinkedIn Ads campaigns work better with N.Rich data. The team is using N.Rich to launch ABM advertising campaigns across multiple websites and networks and then retarget the accounts that show engagement through LinkedIn Ads. This approach allows them to gather audience insights and generate initial engagement at a much lower cost before launching a campaign on LinkedIn.

optimization

N.Rich is one of the crucial tools for Powell Software’s marketing strategy. During 2022, the marketing team expanded and got structured in a new way, with a mission to improve internal and cross-functional processes. One of the focus areas was the quality of the pipeline in collaboration with the sales team. Working with an ABM tool like N.Rich helped improve it dramatically - the sales team is now more motivated to work with data and leads coming from marketing.
