Marketo, the fastest growing provider of Revenue Performance Management (RPM) solutions, has unveiled the first study to comprehensively quantify the global economic impact of Revenue Performance Management. The Marketo Revenue Quotient, a detailed study of customer results, examined the key factors that contribute to revenue growth and predicts a $2.5 trillion impact across its global customer base by 2015.
Marketo defined and leads RPM, a new category of business applications that optimize interactions across the revenue cycle, to accelerate predictable revenue growth. The Marketo Revenue Quotient was calculated by identifying the key drivers to revenue generation and the quantitative impact of RPM over time, then correlating results with the size and growth trajectory of Marketo’s customer base.
Marketo’s global study of its customers revealed that RPM increases revenues by an average of 40 percent. This is driven by increased lead quantity, improved lead-to-opportunity conversion, improved opportunity-to-win ratio, increased average contract value and reduced cost per customer. Marketo enables businesses to achieve these improvements through its suite of cloud-based applications, spanning marketing automation, sales effectiveness and analytics.
