How Lead Nurturing and Content Marketing Increased Revenues

The Solution In order to ensure marketing leads generated were converting to sales, we proposed the following solutions: 1. Lead Qualification - The first step proposed was to qualify leads that were generated by the marketing team. In this way only quality and sales-ready leads were passed onto the sales team. As the cost per lead was high, it was necessary to ensure that leads were qualified in order to translate to revenues and decrease lead conversion costs. 2. Lead Nurturing - A6 month plan was created to nurture leads in order to reduce the sales cycle. The sales cycle involved prospecting, appointment setting, qualification, sales presentation, handling queries to enable faster decision making, closing, obtaining referrals or testimonials Sales and Telemarketing Teams were asked to categorize leads based on status. The categories included Yet to Initiate, Unqualified, Follow up, Warm, Qualified, Opportunity and Won. Based on status of each lead in the buying cycle, personalized campaigns were created to guide prospects through decision making process. Here’s a glimpse of Our First 3 Month Lead Nurturing and Content Marketing Plan 3. Use of Data Analytics -After a period of 3 months, a retrospective analysis was done to understand the behavior and preferences of prospects and customers. Lead Scoring - Contacts in the database were scored based on activity such as pages visited, time spent on pages, documents downloaded, and forms filled. This provided data on WHO are the most potential prospects and WHATthey are interested in. Segmentation - With access to a comprehensive database, it was possible to segment based on geography, industry, job title and department. In this way, personalized content was created to improve engagement and response rates. Timing - With email campaigns, timing is important. With data on time periods that produced best results, it was possible to determine the most appropriate time that yielded higher response. Format - Based on which device was used the most, it was possible to create design that was not only device agnostic, but content that was a suitable format of consumption. Besides that, based on number of downloads, it was possible to identify whether snackable content was preferred than elaborate documents.
