In today’s competitive digital landscape, businesses need more than just a website to generate quality leads. They need engaging, interactive, and personalized experiences.
So if you’re looking to improve your lead generation strategy, you’re in the right place. Here we explore best practices for digital lead generation, as well as how you can boost lead generation specifically using Leadoo’s unique solutions.
Understanding Lead Generation: What It Means for Your Business
Lead generation is the process of attracting interest from, or providing value to, people. To the point where they are willing to give you their information.
Once you have their contact information, you have a lead! This process is crucial because it is the first step in turning a website visitor into a potential customer. If you can’t capture their information (first party data), you can’t register their interest, and can’t put them into your sales process.
Inbound vs Outbound Lead Generation
There are several methods for generating leads. These generally fall into two categories: Inbound or Outbound.
Inbound leads literally come in to you. This could for example be someone calling you up or walking into a store to ask questions. But most commonly in the digital age, it means leaving their information via your digital channels. Examples can include:
- Signing up for a Webinar
- Downloading a Whitepaper
- Filling out a Contact Form
To drive these kind of actions on a website, marketers use inbound strategies like Content marketing, PPC advertising, and Social Media marketing to generate interest and drive visitors to their website. Hoping they take these desired Conversion actions. And then convert into Inbound leads.
Businesses also use Outbound strategies to generate leads though. Cold email or call outreach, direct mail, or physically approaching people (say at Events) all constitute Outbound lead generation strategies. Wherever a lead comes from, it should ideally be logged in a CRM system so that you can keep track of it, but also evaluate over time how quickly different types of leads develop – and what needs to go into that.
Whether you are generating Inbound or Outbound leads though, the challenge lies in generating quality leads — those who are more likely to ultimate convert into customers.
The Importance of Quality Leads
Not all leads are created equal. While traffic and quantity are important, focusing on quality leads – those who show genuine interest in your offering and are in a position to act on that – is what drives real business growth.
Leadoo’s approach is to enhance the user experience on your website through conversational marketing tools. This achieves two things. Firstly it raises conversion rates – so that more users convert into leads. But crucially it also allows you that pre-qualify leads more effectively and move them down the funnel faster.
As businesses grow and scale, making sure that sales teams aren’t wasting time on non-viable leads becomes increasingly important. Time is money. And the more money you need to make, the less time you have to spend on leads that don’t have a chance of becoming customers.
