  • Generating Qualified Leads on the Internet
    = = Generating High Quality Leads on the Internet How Manufacturers Can Dramatically Increase Marketing ROI A GlobalSpec White Paper 350 Jordan Road Troy, NY 12180 Tel: 518-880-0200 www.globalspec.com © 2006 GlobalSpec, Inc. Generating Qualified Leads on the Internet Executive Summary Traditional lead generation programs such as print ads, direct mail, trade shows, and catalogs are losing effectiveness in the manufacturing sector. They don’t connect with a target audience of engineers and technical buyers who have turned to the Internet to source products. Too often they produce unqualified leads. The result is that sales people waste time, money, and business resources trying to close deals with weak prospects who will never buy. On the other hand, high quality leads are prospects who have “raised their hand” to express a specific need for a product. They have buying authority or purchasing influence, and have indicated their intention to buy in the near term. Where can manufacturers find these high quality leads? On the Internet. Statistics show that over 90 percent of a manufacturer’s target audience is using the Internet to find the products and services they need. In turn, leading manufacturers now use the Internet to proactively generate leads. Benefits include the ability to reach a larger audience, maintain an ongoing presence, and measure results. However, not all Internet marketing is equally effective. Manufacturers must carefully choose an Internet lead generation strategy that produces only high quality leads and a significant return on investment. Generating high quality leads is only half the story; managing them is the other.

  • The Truth About Digital Advertising and B2B Lead Generation
    The truth about digital advertising and B2B lead generation The truth about digital advertising and B2B lead generation Discover why vanity metrics are harming your results, how changes to third-party cookies will impact your marketing, and why advanced tech will transform your business. webinsights.com UK: 0207 206 7293 | US: 720 362 5033 1 The truth about digital advertising and B2B lead generation Contents 03 Why vanity metrics are harming results 05 What the phasing out of third-party cookies means for your business 07 Website visitor automation: transforming digital success 08 Web Insights: the key to revolutionizing digital advertising 2 The truth about digital advertising and B2B lead generation Why vanity metrics are harming results In a recent Forbes article, Dr. Augustine Fou discussed what happened when a number of big-name brands and small businesses alike turned off their digital advertising. According to Fou, there were no changes to the bottom line. While the number of clicks, impressions, and website visitors plummeted, conversion-rates and sales stayed exactly the same. Similarly, his research found that while advertising reach is high, the quality and content of the sites were often not up to scratch. Of course, no two businesses are the same — and what works for one company may not work for another. However, due to the events of 2020 and our industry pivot to an entirely digital strategy, it has never been more important to assess where you’re seeing ROI. We’ve proven our ability to be agile: so let’s pivot to what works, and stop investing budget in tactics that don’t.

  • Lead Generation with Content
    ACCELERATE LEAD GENERATION WITH CONTENT How to use your content to fuel your funnel and land high-quality leads. While website traffic has been the most common success metric for B2B marketers in the last several years, a Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs study conducted late last year suggests the most important content marketing metric these days is sales lead quality. Generating quality leads has always been a goal for B2B marketers and can be an extremely effective way to identify the relevancy of your messaging. But, the more we dig into this concept, the more it looks like lead generation may be the most valuable concept you can use to grow your business. Let’s look at why. WHAT’S A LEAD? Generally speaking, a lead is someone who is likely to value the products or services your company offers based on a set of predetermined characteristics. Some of the characteristics might include: • Title: The person has a job title that indicates decisionmaking power in an area elevant to your product or service. In our case, someone with a job title of Director of Marketing might be a better lead than a graphic designer. • Company size: The characteristics of a small business might fit your unique offerings better than those of an enterprise corporation, or vice versa. • Industry: Perhaps your products or services are geared toward a specific industry or group of industries. • Company revenue: You might find the most success working with organizations with a certain annual revenue. A BETTER WAY TO NURTURE Cold calling, once the workhorse of the sales process, is beginning to lose its luster.

A lead is someone who expresses interest in your products/services. The more interested they are, the “hotter” the lead is, and the closer they are to buying your product. Once upon a time, selling products to people involved “hard selling” tactics like door-to-door sales and cold calls. Occasionally these may be employed by individuals in certain industries, but these days, most people do their own research on the products they want and expect high quality goods and services. Nowadays, leads can be acquired from a variety of sources.
