Lead generation is a business that is both competitive and complicated. The processes and strategies used by successful lead generation firms are dynamic and ever-changing as a result of both a heavily regulated marketspace and a high amount of global competition.
Prizm Media’s Lead Generation 101 series will provide basic and accessible insight into how this industry operates, how to improve your lead generation efforts, or even how your own business could benefit from utilizing lead generation services.
In this week’s article, we present some fundamental strategies to make your lead generation business’s online presence more accessible to a potential client base.
Simplify!
Lead generation firms often offer a vast array of products and services – from entirely different lead verticals, to unique proprietary technology systems – it can be easy for potential clients to get confused and overwhelmed by the volume of options available, especially if they are new to using lead generation as a marketing tool.
Taking time to efficiently present how your services and technologies work together to create a competitive advantage will not only give you an edge over competitors, but will make your business easier to understand for potential clients. Some popular and effective ways of streamlining the complexities of lead generation services include visual aids (charts, graphs) and infographics.
Educate!
Dedicating a space on your website that details how lead generation works is imperative when it comes to making your service more accessible. Highlight the marketing mix your company can use to generate leads on the client’s behalf, and be sure to stress your company’s focus on mitigating client risk – especially the fact that your client only pays for leads that request more information about their product or service.
Taking the time to teach potential clients how the lead generation process works will not only make them more likely to utilize your products and services, but their increased understanding will also make working with them easier in the long run.
Make it Personal!
If a potential client is still not understanding how lead generation works, or perhaps not recognizing how your services could directly benefit their own organization, one effective tool is to present a real world example of how your firm has delivered in the past.
If possible, use an example from a previous client to communicate exactly how value was created and how their business was grown. This is a great opportunity to include a testimonial or interview from a satisfied client to add further credibility to your business.
Get In Touch!
Encourage your page viewers and potential clients to get in touch online through your social media channels. Take this opportunity to bring the human touch to your business and turn these views into conversations. In doing this, you can guarantee that users are leaving your website with a thorough understanding of your company’s core business, competitive advantage, and how you can benefit their organization.
