EP46: The Death Of MQLs: How To Measure Marketing Performance

Most of today’s marketing performance is measured by MQLs. A marketing-qualified lead is a prospect that the marketing team determines is worthy of being passed along to the sales team.

The challenge? Salespeople in the B2B space typically look for best-fit accounts versus individual prospects. Therefore, marketing and sales aren’t on the same page.

Jon Miller, Chief Marketing Officer at Demandbase, discusses marketing and sales alignment. Using data to access purchase intent. Switching to MQAs (marketing qualified accounts) as a performance metric, and so much more. 

Listen to this episode of the Leader Generation Podcast hosted by Tessa Burg, Chief Technology Officer at Mod Op.
