3. Implement an SLA

SLAs Go Both WaysMarketing to Sales• Number and quality of leads

required to hit company revenue goals

Sales to Marketing• Speed and depth of lead follow-up

that makes economic sense

The Marketing SLA• How many leads of a certain

quality does a sales rep need to make quota?

• How many leads does a sales rep need to be busy 100% of the time?

The Marketing SLA• Will sales do any

prospecting?• What % of sales

opportunities will marketing originate?

• What % of sales opportunities will marketing influence?

Computing the Marketing SLA

Tradeshow $125,000 1.0% $1,250Contact Sales

$110,000 10.0% $11,000

The Sales SLA• How many call/email

attempts should sales make for every lead of a certain quality to not waste leads?

• With X leads and Y hours / month, how many follow-up attempts should sales be able to complete per lead?
