Frequently Asked Questions:

How is this different from other marketing seminars, webcasts and training programs?
This is a strategy and implementation program that describes the practical steps that participants need to take to construct an actual lead nurturing program that can launch after 45 days. Most marketing seminars and training programs focus on the “what and whys” of lead management and don’t provide the details of “how”. Realistically, program participants will have a lead nurturing program ready to go live by the end of December.

Why six weeks with 90-minute sessions vs. a 2-day seminar?
This is a guided implementation program that takes you week-by-week and step-by-step through the activities you will need to complete to be ready to launch your first campaign. My “Live in 45” system incorporates the weekly assignments with my personalized instruction and feedback to ensure you stay on track and ready to launch in six weeks. This has proven successful countless times for clients, regardless of company and marketing department size and budget.

I am already doing lead nurturing so why should I attend?
Most of my clients and webcast attendees are experienced B2B marketers who have been executing comprehensive demand generation programs for some time. However, they often complain of their difficulties in realizing tangible results that keep pace with executive and sales team expectations. The “Live in 45” system focuses on the elements that are essential and those that are not to ensure effective lead nurturing programs. Experienced marketers will benefit from the real-world examples of tactics presented each week that have been employed repeatedly to generate results.

We are not doing lead nurturing now so why should I attend?
Research from the top B2B sales and marketing think tanks such as Sirius Decisions, Forrester and Gartner provide the statistics and business for why lead nurturing is a must-do program to compete successfully today. It’s my experience and observation that the lack of a solid lead nurturing program is a sign of skepticism and concern that making the commitment requires too much preparation in terms of available resources, training and content development, to name a few. Many of my clients had no prior experience and training, had a small marketing staff (how about only 1 person?), had no marketing automation tools and minimal content beyond brochures and “old” white papers. One of these clients successfully implemented the “Live in 45 “ system in just 22 days from kickoff to launch, including a whole new marketing automation system that we tied into Salesforce.com.

What more do I get from this program that I can’t get from your webcasts on this topic?
You will get the detailed instruction that guides you through the implementation of my “Live in 45” system, with the actual step-by-step tasks to complete coupled with personal feedback on your progress in effectively building your lead nurturing program.

I’m interested, but have other commitments that will prevent me from starting this fall. Will this be offered again next year?
This is a one-time exclusive program offering. There are currently no plans to offer it again in the future.

What if I need additional assistance beyond the weekly sessions, homework, etc.?
The program has been designed to provide substantial instruction and group and personal feedback, plus the one-hour private consultation available at any point during the program or within 30 days at the program completion. Additional one hour consultations are available for $250 per hour. This represents a 33% discount from regular consulting rates.

What if I miss a session? How can I make up/keep up with the work?
Each week’s instructional slides and notes will be provided for self-guided review. In addition, you will have a one hour private consultation that can be used for reviewing any missed sessions and personalized feedback and Q&A.
