    Salesforce Campaigns & Multi-Touch Attribution with Lauren Sanyal

    We do a deep dive into marketing operations with Lauren Sanyal in this episode. 🤘 We start off by talking with Lauren about how they structure their marketing ops and RevOps teams within her company, and how they decide who reports to who. From their we talk through how they run their marketing and revenue tech stack using Salesforce and Marketo. Lauren and her team run a very meticulous Salesforce campaign structure for organizing and tracking all of their marketing activities. We discuss the how and why of their Salesforce campaign setup. Many companies under-utilize the campaigns in their Salesforce orgs, so there is a lot that other marketing ops people can learn from Lauren and her team here! We then talk through how Lauren and her team run marketing attribution at her company. Their sales cycle is very long (1-2 years), so a well-planned multi-touch attribution model is critical for getting insight into the effectiveness of all the marketing and sales activities that Lauren's team is doing over the course of that time. We talk through what tools and data they use for multi-touch attribution, what events they track, which events are weighted more than others and why, and more. If you are struggling to track the effectiveness of all your marketing activities over a similar super-long sales process, you will want to take a lot of notes in this section. 📝 We wrap up by talking about when is the right time for a company to start investing in marketing operations specifically versus more marketing generalist roles (hint: it's probably sooner than you might think.)

  2. How to Use HubSpot for PLG SaaS Companies, with Emma Cimolini

    How to Use HubSpot for PLG SaaS Companies, with Emma Cimolini

    The go-to-market motion for product-led growth (PLG) SaaS companies is VERY different from sales-led growth companies. ➡️ The contact lifecycle/funnel stages are different ➡️ The data/system architecture is different ➡️ The relationship between the CRM and billing systems are different. ➡️ The key funnel conversion rates are different. Instead of setting up sales pipelines, hiring Account Executives, and managing territories, you’re doing defining custom in-app behavior triggers, you’re integrating your CRM to your app user records or intermediary tools like data warehouses, and you’re tracking a very different set of success metrics. And the sheer amount of data will usually be significantly larger as well. What is the best way to run a CRM and marketing system like HubSpot for PLG SaaS companies like this? Emma Cimolini knows a thing or two about this subject. She’s been using HubSpot to build out go-to-market systems for SaaS startups and big publicly traded software companies for years. She’s built and launched multiple growth teams and has deep experience in building productive relationships with sales teams. In this episode, we talk through how to set up HubSpot to run product-led growth motions for SaaS companies. We discuss: 1️⃣ How to set up your system architecture and data architecture between HubSpot and different systems like your app databases, data warehouses, app analytics tools, web analytics tools, and billing systems 2️⃣ How and when to decide whether HubSpot or your data warehouse should be your company’s primary source of truth 3️⃣ How to make the case to get engineering resources for building your PLG funnel 4️⃣ How to map out PLG-focused contact lifecycle stages in HubSpot 5️⃣ What to watch out for when reporting on MRR and other financial metrics between HubSpot and your billing system 6️⃣ Technical constraints to watch out for in terms of API limits, multi-object reporting, data management, and engineering development time This is a must-watch episode for anyone working in go-to-market teams at PLG-focused SaaS companies! And if you’re at a company that runs Salesforce as your CRM rather than HubSpot, this episode will also apply to you as well. Most of the topics we cover here are equally as important to companies running Salesforce or other CRMs as companies running HubSpot by itself. Give this episode a listen and learn what you need to know for building up a killer go-to-market motion for your PLG-focused company.
