B2B Connect - Walking the Talk: Winning Practices from Leading Brands

What metrics should you track to improve B2B lead generation?
In my experience, one of the best ways to segment your leads is separating declared intent vs. implied or computed intent. I strongly encourage you to measure the declared vs. computed funnels separately. They will convert very differently. Declared intent is where someone fills out a demo, pricing or contact sales form. They are telling you they want to talk to sales. Implied intent is calculated using some kind of behavior or fit based scoring from interactions with your website or content. In my experience, declared intent "handraiser leads" convert up to 10x-20x better than computed or scored leads through the funnel. Your sales team will be more successful with people who asked to talk than those that haven't asked to talk.
