Lead Generation Tactics
11
Direct Bypass
No registration gate on the CBSi site• User is sent directly to the client’s
landing page• Client captures the user’s
information, CBSi only refers traffic
Benefits:• CPC based • Can assist in keeping conversion
rates high
Caveats:• No information is captured unless
the user converts• Conversion is dependant on
design/experience of the client’s site and the assets
• Ensure that a 3rd party ad-serving system is being used to track clicks
12
Topic (Category) Leads
Over 190k monthly downloads from the Resource Library are unsponsored
• These leads are available for purchase
Benefits:• Competitive pricing of targeted leads• Filters are available at an additional
cost: Company Size and Geo (outside NA)
• Over 150 topics from which to use
Caveats:• Unsponsored assets cannot be taken
and sponsored by clients• Recency window impacts volume (last
30 days to 1 year)
13
Standard (4-Filter) Leads
Our ‘classic’ lead generation package• Standard filters include:
• Company Size• Job Title• Geography
• Client provides 3-5 assets at a minimum• Varying pricing model based on number of filters:
$50-$90 (on average)
Benefits:• Provides detailed contact information vs. Direct
Bypass and Topic Leads• Ability to package Branded Content based on
where the client is lacking assets• Offer Lead Extender units and charge a CPM on
the unit to increase deal size
Caveats:• Following process is key: work with Ryan (see
BOOM! for more details)• https://sites.google.com/a/cbsinteractive.com/cnet-d
irect-us/
• Ask about their process for following up with the leads so we are clear on any pitfalls/obstacles around delivering to the client’s goals
14
BANT Leads
This is our ‘premium’ lead generation package
• True differentiator for CBSi B2BBenefits:• Telemarketing is the primary recruitment method
Also includes White Papers, eDM and online placements
“High Touch” recruitment method to gauge interest/parameters
Caveats:• A qualified lead does not have to have every BANT parameter – it can incorporate one or several of them

Reader Profile
An “activity count” gives a numerical value to each lead, for prioritization at-a-glance

Predictive Company Leads
• CBSi will deliver a list of companies that are at or above a “hotness” threshold within a given topic/solution
• For example, “Decision makers from John Deere are exhibiting specific content consumption behaviors around the Web indicating that the company is looking to make a large Storage investment”
• To reach individuals from these companies, advertisers can a) look into their own databases and/or b) leverage CBSi for additional contact leads programs (see “3b”)
