<p>ActiveConversion recently released another in their popular series of <a href="http://b2b-marketingblog.com/category/how-to-guide/" target="blank">&#8220;eHow To&#8221; guides</a>.  This one deals with using Marketing Automation to leverage B2B Blogging.  From the summary:<a href="http://activeconversion.com/b2b-blogging-guide.html?source=SMBblog"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-860" title="B2B_Blogging" src="http://b2b-marketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/B2B_Blogging-233x300.png" alt="" width="233" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Lead nurturing is the process of communicating with prospects who are not yet ready to buy. B2B Blogging enables marketers to contact such prospects on an ongoing basis.</p>
<p>Only 10 to 25 percent of all leads are sales-ready. A similar percentage of leads are not qualified at all. This means 50 to 80 percent of all leads generated are potentially wasted if no appropriate action is taken.</p>
<p>With B2B Blogging marketers can realize significant benefits. Leads that are not sales-ready are not lost and significant online lead generation effort is not wasted. Automation of lead nurturing increases the ROI of all online marketing activities.</p></blockquote>
