Instead of asking a long list of generic questions, identify the single trigger event or struggle common to your best customers. The entire discovery process then becomes asking prospects if they have that specific "pull." If not, they are disqualified, saving immense time and preventing wasted demos.

Despite many marketers believing webinars are oversaturated, FloQast's CMO asserts they are a top-performing channel. He's seen at four consecutive companies that engaged webinar attendees convert into opportunities and closed-won deals at a significantly higher rate than leads from other channels.

By framing a marketing webinar as a "date night," a business can increase show-up rates and engagement. This unique angle grants permission for a longer session, allowing for a complete pitch in one sitting rather than over multiple days which suffer from high drop-off rates.

During a sales cycle with Seismic, the rep held back specific pain points gathered from end-users to use in a follow-up email with personalized micro-demos. Instead of sharing everything in the first call, this unexpected, high-value touchpoint changed the course of the deal by demonstrating deep understanding.

When one rep achieves a significant win in a new vertical, use the SKO to create industry-specific breakout sessions. Have that rep detail their exact process, sharing materials and insights to enable the rest of the team to replicate that success across similar accounts.

Go beyond the standard 'attended vs. no-show' segmentation. Airops’ follow-up strategy considers if it's a person's first event or fifteenth. A new attendee gets a simple recap, while a veteran attendee might get a deep-dive on a new product feature, creating a more relevant experience.

Instead of only featuring industry celebrities on your B2B podcast, strategically interview your ideal customers. The insights and language they use can be repurposed into highly effective ad creative and sales collateral that resonates directly with other potential buyers, turning content into a direct sales tool.

FloQast segments webinar leads beyond just 'attended.' Prospects who actively engage by asking questions are prioritized for sales follow-up within hours. This signals high intent and is treated as a more valuable lead than someone who simply attended passively, leading to more efficient sales outreach.

Airops revived webinars as their top growth channel by focusing on hot, relevant industry topics and featuring experts. They intentionally avoid sales pitches and gating content, which builds trust and leads to revenue on a 30 to 90-day lag, proving the long-term value of education.
