HOW TO USE TITLES TO DRIVE ATTENDEE REGISTRATION
A Common Data Element Underused
When business people are asked to fill out any registration form, they provide their name, title and company without any hesitation for that is who they are in their business life. This information is accurate 99% of the time, as only someone who is attempting to conceal their identity for privacy or competitive reasons will not volunteer this data.
Other than correcting obvious misspellings, the title field is just recorded and used in future communications as inputted without further analysis and/or segmentation. Yet, the title field is accurate, descriptive of functional responsibility, an input into “personas” (a hot marketing topic) and totally underutilized. Why?
It’s because no one has categorized them into title levels and functional responsibility. This key descriptor thus remains underused. With DHM’s Title Maximizer this capability now exists.
