Presented by Director of Corporate Strategy – Oversee.net – Jay Weintraub
Lead Generation Basics
Clicks -> Landing Page -> Decision Engine -> Lead Transmission (Sale to Buyer) -> Follow Up.
Benefits of Lead Generation
Shared Risk
• Data itself has no value
• Advertisers paying on potential value
End User Value
• Something you could use
• Does not rely on breakage
Just the beginning
• Already multi-billion dollar market
• Nothing buy upside
This is a very interesting, but graphical presentation. Will try to get copy of presentation from Jay later and post a link in the comments section.
Advances in Lead Generation
Marketplaces
Outsourced Sales Force
Variable CPL’s (potentially disruptive force)
Optimization
Multivariate Testing – More than Landing Pages
Applying ad network rigor to ad display
“Cross Media” – Search Traffic to use to banner traffic
Challenges in Lead Generation
Increased competition among lead generators
Going “wide & deep” – do not assume that success in one vertical will assure success in any vertical.
Key Takeaways
Quality – Buyers get it; leads for leads sake do not help their business
Sustainability – Being caught by surprise
Value – Consumer & Buyer
Future Thoughts
Large Opportunity as companies move toward lifetime value, e.g. more advanced remarketing and bundling.
Continued vertical segmentation
New verticals forming
Summary
Quality – the only metric that matters
Market today has changed dramatically from that in years past
Still money to be made, but ever declining low hanging fruit
Efficiency and improving on the process is king

[...] We also really enjoyed meeting Jerry and Dave from one our affiliate partners on our credit card sites, NCS. We’ve been in business with these guys for a long time, and it was great to finally meet them. Additionally, we spent a lot of time with Scot from iCommissions, who has been instrumental in helping siteMighty get off the ground. He has been a partner from the beginning and has really helped shape what siteMighty has become. As far as the conference itself, I want to give props to Shawn Collins and the Affiliate Summit team for bringing together a lot of the top people in this industry. The networking was incredible for us, and having the opportunity to meet face-to-face with partners is something that even in this age of Skype videoconferencing is irreplaceable. We attended the opening session with remarks by Michael Sanchez, CEO of ClubMom. The trade show was impressive but not overwhelming, and I would hypothesize that for the exhibitors, it was well worthwhile, as the booths were packed at all times. Half of the trade show hall was filled with round tables for meetings, and these were packed at all times as well. This was a very thoughtful addition, and one that many trade shows forgo. We were able to sit down at one table on Tuesday and meet with iCommissions, CJ, and Vinny, all based on bumping into them. [...]
