Lead gen companies – are you ready for a partner in this space?
Marketers can build a great source of revenue with the right lead gen companies if your campaign strategy is based on solid sales & marketing fundamentals.
Ask yourself if you really know your target audience.
Have you considered what separates your ideal customer from the rest of the pack? Could lead gen be targeted to a specific demographic or would you use messaging that resonates with a specific psychographic? You might also consider asking yourself which leads would not convert and build a strategy to enable these prospects to qualify themselves out. This is a great way to save their time and yours. Finally, it is also important to ensure you consider what separates a good customer from an unprofitable customer. For many businesses, 80% of profits come from 20% of their customer base. If this is the case with you, you should be targeting individuals that resemble your top performers.
Have you defined your unique selling point (your USP)?
Ask why people buy from you. Now line this up to the offerings of your competitors. Do you stand out from the crowd? Would you select your solution over the competition? If you’re not sure why your customers buy from you, then it may be time to ask them with a survey, before trying to attract more.
Do you have a strong call to action?
Demonstrating you understand the customer’s challenge and that you or your product are the best solution to answer the problem, builds trust. Now that they trust you, how will you build enough urgency to illicit an opt-in? A lead gen strategy of price discounting may attract customers that won’t stay around if your competitors come knocking. Therefore, try to focus on solving the problem and saving them time and money, rather than dropping your price if possible.
