Editor's Notes
Excited for the opportunity
Happy to share Triblio experience
Lead gen and ABM working better together
More demand
B2B buying journey is long and complex involving multiple important and unique stakeholder perspectives
Since we’ve flipped the funnel we have to start with personalized messages
Read some statistic that 80-85% of decision research is done before buyer even talks with anyone from company
And the web is the most important medium so you damn well better be spot on with messages that are tailored to those multiple stakeholders
Savi: startup mentality with 26+ years
1989 Gulf war
Today largest asset tracking network
Value is in data
Started move to commercial in 2009/2010
Middle of 3 hottest tech markets
Capitalize on our IoT experience
Simplified: answer 3 questions
2 primary segments now
Long complex sales cycles = ABM
Government: cost concerns only at contract bid
Meet specs at lowest $
After contract win: reliability
Mission consistency and precision
Commercial: profit motive
Eliminate pain that's ^$ or v revenues
Supply chain execs
Hard to be adaptable much less efficient
Highly relationship dependent
12+ months typically
Commercial sales
We built it. They hadn’t come.
Was this a solution in search of a problem?

Backdrop on what Savi does, who we're selling to, and the process and technologies we're using.
Describe ETAaaS campaign story with first ABM steps
Positioning and value: Start with pain.
Large prospects discussions
Common thread: no real time visibility
Universally bad at ETA prediction
Constant surprises
Spend more to account for uncertainties
Still challenge to meet changing demands
Root cause: complex logistics, thousands of relationships.
Countless separate tracking systems
Can't bring data together.
Results in significant top and bottom line costs...
Built a pain relieving solution
Tracking + analytics + data science services.
Pulls in all data
Combines with open data feeds
Tracks everything in real time
predictive analytics and learning models
ETA always accurate
Real-time visibility they were craving
Alerts = no surprises.
No waiting for shipment to arrive a day late to realize disruption.
Much more responsive supply chains
Predictive analytics: anticipate, even avoid disruptions.
Kicker: Keeps getting more accurate with more data captured.
Know the value prop and positioning.
Who are we going to sell it to?
Experience pain? Share these traits
Basis for second step: account selection.
130 ideal target companies.
Often results in vertical concentrations.
In our case CPG, mfg, and food services.
Know value and position and who to sell to
Develop typical content, address the pain
Where our lead gen starts scaling our ABM activities
Lead visitors matching ETA profile to ETA content quickly
ETA related messaging campaigns in Triblio
Specifically for visitors known to Marketo or anyone from ETA target companies.

Aside
Don't alienate gov prospects

Drip emails further develop prospects
Follow-up emails for Sales
Additional complementary web campaigns in Triblio consisting of overlay cards and customized CTAs
Pages most likely to get ETA traffic.
Goal: drive further engagement

Communication to Sales
Several different reports
Pull Marketo campaign data into excel
Which prospect does what, by rep
Daily aggregate reports to reps
Opens clicks etc
Real time Marketo alerts on significant activity
Triblio reporting – Noise before
Visits from target companies that are Marketo “unknown”

traffic volume from each company associated
Drill down to page journeys and timing
Sales loves this!
Independently gauge interest of active opportunity
PLUS – now doing email reports with activity from significant accounts

No success without Triblio
Sales happy = previous contentions are gone.
Triblio ABM + lead gen = demand on steroids
ABM at Savi works so much harder now
Start with P&G USA Land shipments
Then P&G Ocean and P&G IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa)
Then retailers that P&G ships to
And suppliers P&G uses
And shipping/logistics partners they use
