In my quest to be seen as significant, I became what HR teams call \u201cT-shaped.\u201d I gained more understanding about other functions and how the business worked. It\u2019s made a big difference in my career, but I think it may be making the biggest difference today.<\/p>\n<p>About a year ago, a CEO introduced me to his team with a Venn diagram. It showed me at the center of five interconnected circles representing different business functions: CEO, CFO, CRO, CMO and CDO. This illustration perfectly captured what I\u2019ve always done \u2014 translate between these functions, speaking their unique languages to bridge gaps in understanding.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speaking-different-languages-a-common-disconnect\">Speaking different languages: A common disconnect<\/h2>\n<p>Recently, I participated in a roundtable discussion with finance and data science leaders. It quickly became clear that although everyone used the word \u201cpredictive,\u201d they meant very different things.<\/p>\n<p>For data scientists, predictive refers to machine learning-generated forecasts based on patterns. For finance teams, predictive means causal forecasting \u2014 what\u2019s expected to happen given specific variables.<\/p>\n<p>When finance teams use the word, it means a forecast, ideally a causal calculation that tells them what\u2019s probably going to happen under a certain set of circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in climate change:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Machine learning prediction<\/strong>: \u201cGiven a pattern of monthly temperature increases, next month\u2019s temperature is predicted to rise.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Causal forecasting<\/strong>: \u201cDue to 127 factors contributing to warming over the past three years, we forecast an X% rise per year, factoring in which elements are likely to increase.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By pointing out this disconnect in terminology, both groups experienced a huge \u201clightbulb moment\u201d and adjusted their conversations. <\/p>\n<p>Moving back and forth between functional perspectives will be a hallmark of what I intend to share with the MarTech community. My goal is to use my experience to help ignite some new conversations between marketing, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/customer-service-and-success-what-they-are-and-why-marketers-should-care\/\">customer success<\/a>, and communications \u2014\u00a0 three global professions full of individuals who have taught me so much \u2013 and the rest of the\u00a0 business.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/how-marketing-ops-can-learn-to-speak-c-suite\/\" target=\"_blank\">How marketing ops can learn to speak C-suite<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-forecasting-train-is-coming-is-b2b-marketing-ready\">The forecasting train is coming: Is B2B marketing ready?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s get to the nitty gritty and discuss the tunnel that <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/why-we-care-about-b2b-marketing-a-guide-for-marketers\/\">B2B marketing<\/a> finds itself in and how that bright light at the end is an oncoming train.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What exactly is that train speeding toward us? I\u2019m talking about the increasing demand for marketers to issue guidance about their forecasted impact on the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After years and years of not being real, it\u2019s real now. Nothing will reveal the truth of marketing as a powerhouse of effectiveness like the simple act of forecasting its business value.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/measuring-marketings-impact-from-metrics-to-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\">Measuring marketing\u2019s impact: From metrics to growth<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-issuing-fy-2025-marketing-guidance\">Issuing FY 2025 marketing guidance<\/h2>\n<p>As we move into 2025 budget planning, it\u2019s time to get serious about the age-old tension between \u201cWhat was your value this year?\u201d and \u201cHow much should we give you next year?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve worked in a public company, you know that many CEOs and CFOs have to provide annual guidance to investors, which is essentially a stick of expectations against which the next four or more quarters can be measured. Companies are starting to reinvigorate their use of budgetary business cases, focused on the same annual guidance and quarterly updates they give shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>C-suites want a more transactional relationship with all functions, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An annual forecast of their causal impact on the business.<\/li>\n<li>Analytics that enable them to compare that forecast with actual performance across time.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is particularly critical when there\u2019s a lot of time lag separating the expense from the associated value that the company gets back. It\u2019s time for that to be the case in all the functions of your company.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nonlinear-multipliers-why-marketing-s-impact-is-different\">Nonlinear multipliers: Why marketing\u2019s impact is different<\/h2>\n<p>The need for this is particularly acute for functions that are nonlinear multipliers of business performance. Marketing, product development, IT, data science and HR are five examples.<\/p>\n<p>These functions do not rely on a pro rata distribution of a pre-set performance goal that\u2019s spread across a number of people or program spend. Their value is the extent to which they multiply the performance of other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Sales is an example of a linear function, where the revenue target is divided across a certain number of people, regions, stores, etc. A hallmark of a linear function is that its performance can be represented on a Bell Curve. If you double the revenue target, your CRO will want to discuss a plan to double the sale team.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this relevant to forecasted guidance? \u201cNonlinear multipliers\u201d are functions where \u201cQ1 spend\u201d does not typically deliver any Q1 benefit. Indeed, the booking of expense and the recognition of value are often offset quite considerably in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more typical \u201clinear\u201d relationship between expenses and benefits does not exist in these functions. Instead, they deliver specific leverage that cannot be created any other way. It\u2019s crucial to understand that in advance because the implications are big.<\/p>\n<p>B2B marketing is a great example. The marketing budgets you\u2019re about to spend in Q4 of 2024 will not have any measurable impact on sales for at least two quarters. That gap is both innate to how the function works and is significantly influenced by external marketplace forces (i.e., headwinds and tailwinds).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re facing a headwind, you\u2019re going to have to do more to overcome it, just as when a headwind makes an airline pilot burn more fuel at a faster rate to remain on time. Airlines use causal analytics to forecast these scenarios, guiding their teams on how to make better, faster decisions and act more effectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/how-to-clarify-marketing-metrics-to-impress-the-c-suite\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to clarify marketing metrics to impress the C-suite<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-forecasting-a-new-reality-for-marketing\">Forecasting: A new reality for marketing<\/h2>\n<p>Being able to understand the cause-and-effect relationships in your business will help you build high-quality internal forecasts that improve your external guidance, particularly for functions like marketing that have such a profound effect on sales\u2019 ability to do more deals (revenue impact), bigger deals (margin impact) and faster deals (cash flow impact).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for functions like marketing to issue forecasted guidance to the C-suite so the leaders have a better understanding of what they can represent to shareholders and investors, as well as internally with other teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I know that many marketing leaders will recoil from this. But speaking as one who did it for 15 years as a functional leader, after you start forecasting your effects on sales performance, you\u2019ll wonder why you kicked the can for so long.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because when you run the analytics needed to issue the forecast, you\u2019ll discover it\u2019s very likely your team is making sales about eight times more effective and five times more efficient than sales could be by itself.
