7、 Become a Client 3 Techniques to Prove Marketing ValueProve marketings valueMost companies have clear growth plans.When economic headwinds challenge them,marketers must show the connection between marketing investments and growth to protect them.To do so,it is important to know the overall value of

8、every marketing dollar spent and communicate that in terms the executive team cares about.For example,marketing should be able to communicate,for every$1,000 invested in marketing,how much the company generates in demand,in the number of marketing qualified leads(MQLs),in new accounts and so on.Metr

9、ics related to MQLs and new accounts are more powerful when linked to concrete impact in monetary terms.Metrics are stronger,as well,when tied to annual strategic priorities.For example,if a bank has a goal of opening 100,000 new checking accounts in a calendar year,marketing should have an aggregat

10、e estimate of how$1,000 of investment translates to new account acquisition.If customer loyalty is the goal,marketing should show how marketing investments deliver retention.01Strategy4Gartner for Marketers Follow Us on LinkedIn Become a Client 3 Techniques to Prove Marketing ValueCMOs need to prote
