- Fill the sales pipeline, reduce the cost of customer acquisition and maximize ROI
- Improve the predictability of quarterly lead and revenue plans
“We’re excited that Chris Ryan has lent us his considerable experience for this session,” said Nathan Clark, director of content and public relations. “Transforming sales and marketing conflict into a winning partnership is a critical aspect of a successful lead generation plan that fills the sales funnel. Christopher’s proven results and reputation as a B2B marketing author and speaker make this an invaluable addition to our coursework.”
The program consists of four required courses that offer a sound footing in lead generation strategy and tactics, and the attendee’s choice of two elective courses that introduce best practices for specific markets. The courses draw upon leading experts in B2B marketing, including Craig Rosenberg, vice president of sales and marketing for Focus.com; Ruth Stevens, president of EMarketing Strategy; and others.
