This document provides 10 steps to prepare a marketing database for analytics by renovating the data like a fixer-upper home. It begins by separating wants from needs and nailing down a budget. Consulting an expert to finalize a design is recommended before going deep into infrastructure upgrades and checking regulations. The steps also include auditing current data and ordering what's needed, expecting surprises, adding finishing touches, and reappraising the results. The overall message is that data quality renovations require careful planning, expertise, and ongoing maintenance for analytics to provide accurate insights.
The document discusses how credit departments can enable sales growth through three strategies: 1) Prescreening accounts and enabling instant credit decisions to shorten sales cycles, 2) Reducing credit holds and finding upsell opportunities by taking a proactive risk-based approach, and 3) Optimizing customer portfolios and segmenting them to identify the profile of the best customers for targeting. The presentation provides examples of how each strategy can be implemented, such as enabling prescreening and instant credit decisions directly in CRM systems, using corporate family information to identify upsell opportunities, and creating a best customer profile based on factors like industry, size, and credit scores.

Power Your Customer Experience with Data BrightFunnel
Rafa Flores presented on powering customer experience with data. The presentation covered key topics like customer experience, brand awareness, initial engagement, and a Subaru case study. It defined customer experience as interactions between an individual and organization throughout a business relationship. It discussed using 2nd and 3rd party data to improve brand awareness and initial engagement. A case study showed how Subaru used 1st party data to gain a 360 degree view of customers to send the right message at the right time in their journey.
The D&B U.S. Economic Health Tracker showed dogged improvement in April 2014. Small business health stabilized after a number months of decline. Although wintry weather took its toll in the Northeast and Midwest earlier in the year, small businesses continue to demonstrate strong on-time bill and credit-card payments. Meanwhile, an estimated 208,000 new jobs were created, driven by strong gains in the retail and manufacturing segments. Finally, the U.S. Business Health Index strengthened yet again in April, registering a 53.7-percent index value, the highest recorded level since the index began in December 2010. U.S. businesses show sustained balance sheet and financial health, based on the weighted average of D&B’s Viability Rating, Delinquency Predictor, and Total Loss Predictor. Overall, the American economic recovery remains a choppy one, albeit with signs of hope in specific sectors.
Unlocking the Value of Big Data (Innovation Summit 2014)Dun & Bradstreet
Big Data is central to the strategic thinking of today’s innovators and business executives as companies are scrambling to figure out the secret to transforming Big Data to Big Insight and that Insight into Action. As many companies struggle with the emerging technologies and nascent capabilities to discover and curate massive quantities of highly dynamic data, new problems are emerging in the form of how to ask meaningful questions that leverage the “V’s” of large amounts of data (e.g. volume, variety, velocity, veracity). In the Business-to-Business space, these challenges are creating both significant opportunity and ominous new types of risk. This presentation discusses how companies are reacting to these changes and provide valuable insight into new ways of thinking in a world with overwhelming quantities of data.

The marketing database sits at the heart of this machine and now has an inextricable linkage to your success in building interest, driving engagement and ultimately creating revenue. While enhanced analytics are increasingly seen as a key tool to identifying new sales opportunities and improving efficiency, so much of your success as marketers still boils down to how well your contact and company data is maintained, and how well it aligns with your go-to-market strategy. More than ever, you are measured by your ability to serve up content that helps customers prioritize and accelerate through the buyer journey. But you have to make sure there is a good fit for your offerings and a valid person on the other end of the line. Your relationship with your sales teams and your CEO depends on it.

The document discusses big data analytics and provides tips for organizations looking to implement big data initiatives. It notes that while organizations have large amounts of customer, sales, and other operational data, most are not effectively analyzing and extracting insights from this data. The value is in using analytics to uncover hidden patterns and correlations to help businesses make better decisions. However, most companies currently take a slow, manual approach to data compilation and analysis. The document recommends that organizations consider big data as a business solution rather than just an IT problem. It suggests taking a journey approach, focusing on insights over data, using proven analytics tools, and delivering early business value from big data projects in order to justify further investment.

Find out if IT has dedicated money to cover your data’s enrichment and maintenance. Don’t

Here are a few areas to consider when calculating budget allocations:
• Short-term costs
• Long-term costs
• Internal/external costs
• Equipment and services costs
• Overhead expenses
• Projected ROI
Keep in mind that your data renovation will roll out in phases, so be sure to factor an
incremental approach into your calculations. Data quality is never a one-and-done
project; it’s a program that requires ongoing cleansing and management.

Modernizing a bathroom can go

While this tip is about
upgrading cosmetic appeal, it
raises a ponder-worthy
question for marketers: How
do the “doors” to your
database look? Specifically,
does your database convey
“high value” to those who will
be using it?
As noted in other steps,
consulting users is critical and
should happen throughout
your database renovation.
Remember, much of a
database’s value lies in its
ability to serve up accurate
“answers” efficiently, in a user-

enhance your database to
boost user satisfaction? Should
you add different “doors” to

With your database, as with any renovated property, it pays to measure
the financial impact of enhancement and upkeep efforts. How would you
compare the condition of your database before and after its renovation?
Be sure to factor in database growth, data quality levels and improved
user functionality.
Next, think about how your data renovation has impacted marketing’s bottom-line
contribution to the business. Some areas to consider in your assessment…
An organization with a strong commitment to data
quality can produce up to 70% more revenue than an
average organization.
• An increase in marketing-qualified
and/or sales-qualified leads
• A lift in soft conversion rates along
the buyer’s path
• A stronger identification of cross-
selling opportunities
• A decrease in marketing’s
overhead costs, due to better
targeting and segmentation
• Improved market penetration
• A growth in share of wallet
• The discovery of previously hidden
sales opportunities
• An increase in sales conversions
• Different actions (based on data
intelligence) that generate cost
savings, opportunity increases or
new revenue

these opportunities.
