LEAD GENERATION
Included in ORSS 2012 is the subscribers' choice of a white paper or a Webinar
developed specifically for that client and for their exclusive use. The white
paper or Webinar will be marketed to the Osterman Research mailing list and
can be distributed by subscribers in any venue without limitation.
For those subscribers that choose the white paper, we will meet via
teleconference to determine the topics to be covered, develop an outline for
review, and develop as many drafts as necessary to satisfy the requirements of
the project. Subscribers are free to distribute the white paper as they see
fit.
Once the white paper has been finalized, we will announce it our mailing list
and make it available as a free download on the Osterman Research Web site.
Contact information from downloaders will be provided to each subscriber on a
regular basis.
For those that choose the Webinar, we will meet via teleconference to develop
a presentation for use in the live event that can be held anytime during 2012.
We will manage all of the logistics and online capabilities and will guarantee
a minimum of 50 leads for the event. Upon completion of the live event, we
will host the Webinar for one year on the Osterman Research Web site.
