By asking very specific questions, we can help you identify new sales opportunities early in the sales cycle.

Look beyond the campaign and start building a Sales Lead System

When it comes to sales and selling, you have two choices:  You can just wing it (as many do) or you can follow a process – a sales lead process that consistently generates leads and nurtures those leads until the prospect is ready to buy.

We’ve developed a Sales Lead System that uses multiple tactics to bring together every step of your sales process.

  • Sales Lead System Lead Generation – use multiple tactics and channels to generate the initial lead and start feeding your sales funnel.
  • Lead Capture – use landing pages, pURLs and QR codes to capture responses and website visitors.
  • Lead Qualification – use the phone or online surveys to identify prospects with the best potential  for buying.
  • Lead Nurture – use drip email and email newsletters to cultivate your relationship with new prospects over time.
  • Lead Measurement – use response tracking and Google Analytics to evaluate the performance of every tactic and channel.
