Intro
Why we talk about online lead generation?CEOs don’t trust marketing (ups!)
73% of CEOs stating “marketers lack business credibility and the ability to generate sufficient growth”. 80% of CEOs simply don’t trust marketers at all, while 91% do trust CIOs
and CFOs.Source: survey by Fournaise Group
Reason?Commercial Disconnect – Marketers need to take responsibility for the very evident commercial disconnect with senior executives.
Distraction, hoopla and hyperbole – the ever-evolving world of marketing, due in large to technology and a now very connected consumer, brings with it new marketing opportunities on a monthly basis.
Lack of imagination and innovation. Marketing is about imagination, creating new ways to deliver a value to the customer, to earn disproportionate attention over trying to steal it with short-termism and promotionally led thinking.

Topology of the sale
1. What is the action we want someone (potential client) to take?
2. Who are we trying to persuade to take this action?
3. What he needs to know to feel secure and confident to take this action?
