How to FUEL Marketing Effectiveness from Lead Generation to Sales Conversion takes place on Thursday, March 17 at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT). The webinar is free to attend but requires advanced registration at: http://bit.ly/hDtqTt.

"Between improving lead quality, managing complex sales and meeting the needs of sales teams, it can be difficult for B2B marketers to determine where valuable time and resources should be spent," said Jen Doyle, senior research analyst at MarketingSherpa, who will be presenting on the webinar. "This webinar is designed to guide marketers past growing challenges and introduce them to the FUEL methodology."

The FUEL methodology for B2B Marketing was recently developed by MarketingSherpa and is introduced in the 2011 B2B Marketing Advanced Practices Handbook. The FUEL methodology is a comprehensive, step-by-step process that addresses the challenges that are most pertinent to today's organizations and propel results for years to come.

As a senior research analyst at MarketingSherpa, Doyle covers B2B marketing, social media and search engine marketing. She is the lead author of the 2011 B2B Marketing Benchmark Report. Joining her as a co-presenter is Kirsten Knipp, who is director of product evangelism at HubSpot, an internet marketing software company. Knipp manages how HubSpot spreads the word about the value of HubSpot software via content, customer case studies and webinars, social media, analyst and blogger interaction.
