Arden Hills, MN, October 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Brian Carroll, a B2B expert and author of Lead Generation For The Complex Sale, will speak at MarketingSherpa’s 5th Annual Business-to-Business Demand Generation Summit to be held October 26–28 in San Francisco. Carroll will present his “‘Playbook’ for Growing More Leads” during the three-day summit.

According to Carroll, the biggest challenge organizations face is bringing focus to their lead generation process. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to share my real-world experience with B-to-B marketers who are trying to optimize their lead gen programs,” said Carroll. “My ‘playbook’ addresses the proverbial black hole between your company’s sales and marketing efforts and outlines ways to better manage and nurture the leads you generate.”

By using this approach, Carroll will share how he helped one client increase their sales-ready leads by 375% and increase their lead-to-sales pipeline conversion rate by 200%. His playbook, based on real-world experiences with both small and large IT enterprises, will show attendees how to optimize their current lead generation and develop a measureable marketing pipeline that will drive sales.
