Lead Generation Strategies & Services

On the surface, lead generation is a simple concept.  Ask your prospects to take an action that identifies themselves as future customers.

In practice though, lead generation strategies can get more complicated.  There are several factors to consider …

Defining a lead – before you begin a lead generation program, make sure you all agree on what your leads are supposed to look like – by industry, company size, location, contact person and level of interest or engagement.

Qualifying a lead – when someone downloads a free guide from your website, what steps do you have in place to determine whether they are a lead. When you qualify a lead, you can eliminate bad leads and begin to put the good leads on a path for engagement.

Nurturing a lead – in almost every situation, only a small percentage of your leads are quickly converted into sales. This leaves you with a growing number of leads that will need lead nurturing before they close.
