Ideas from the Global Sales Meeting

Friday, July 24, 2009 by Shelly Griffin

Today was the first day back to work after 3.5 days spent at ExactTarget's annual Global Sales Meeting.  It's time each year to pause from the day-to-day - meet up with peers that you haven't seen for a while, learn about new features/functionality, and share success stories - both from the sales team and from our clients.  Personally, hearing how our clients use our application and drive ROI is the best part.  As always, I have gathered tons of ideas that I can't wait to implement now that I am back in the office. When it comes down to it, getting back to basics with email marketing is often a key theme with our clients.  This was reiterated in the keynote address from David Daniels of Forrester Research.  Many email marketers do not employ basic or sophisticated segmentation:

  • Few leverage attributes either within the email itself or for list segmentation
  • Only 1/2 use click-through data from previous email marketing offers in the planning of new campaigns
