Background:
IHM offers a solution to aggregate hospital medical records data to identify trends and deploy best practices processes and methodologies. IHM sales and marketing required a recalibration of its processes to rapidly and predictably drive brand awareness and generate a maturing pipeline of qualified prospects who were scored and passed to presales and sales.
Our work:
Renaissance built a knowledge resource center for medical professionals along with other demand generation initiatives to drive qualified interest into and through the sales pipeline. In 3 months the new, recalibrated sales machine was up and running with increased site traffic of 500%, and a cleaned and normalized Salesforce.com (SFA) database synchronized with the marketing automation (MAP) database. In less than 6 months a series of micro-targeted pain/solution vignettes had delivered identifiable sales opportunities into the sales funnel.
