Highly motivated leads, many already through the first stages of their buyer's journey, will now have another pathway to your door. See Adopting Inbound Tactics: Keywords in Marketing Collateral

• Basing the presentation on "buyer personas" - deliverables based on buyer personas further define your ideal customer, making it more likely that buyers will be attracted to your content and will find you.

• Gating the presentation - gating serves two important purposes. First it provides you with key information about potential leads.  The barrier also tends to sort out leads that either have not reached the appropriate stage of their buyer's journey or are simply not motivated to learn more about your client's product or service, leaving you with a quality lead generation list that can then be segmented and refined.

• Referencing related materials - powerpoint presentations can provide a great vehicle for showcasing related collateral that you've already produced or have in the works. Pointing to related blogs is a particularly effective way of directing potential leads to you.

• Transforming powerpoints into PowerPitch videos - leveraging existing powerpoints into a more dynamic format, builds on information you've already gathered and expands it's reach beyond your current audience. PowerPitch is a proven, proprietary product offered exclusively by Interamark. Perfect for gating, you can use PowerPitch as another way to garner information for lead nurturing campaigns.
