In order to survive most businesses need to be generating and converting leads into customers on a frequent basis – there’s simply no getting away from that. Furthermore, if you’re collecting rubbish leads then it makes it that much harder to stay competitive. Therefore it’s important to make sure that you’re not spending valuable time and effort on poor quality leads.

Luckily, we’ve put together our top tips to instantly up the quality of your lead generation activity.

Tip 1 – Landing Page

So you’ve done the hard work of creating your brand and developing a website to suit. Now you have to make sure that all of this hard work translates into sales.

Landing pages are perfect for this.

A good landing page will display exactly what the prospect is after, so if your company sells climbing shoes or you’re generating leads for someone who’s selling this then you’d want to display content specific to climbing shoes. Common sense right? you’d be surprised how  

Doing this also improves SEO (due to relevance and the reduced bounce rate). It’s also important to make sure that the content is focused and free of distractions.

A form is also an essential element for most landing pages. This allows you to collect all the relevant information from your prospect. It’s good practice to collect information you need, e.g. name, number email and business name. Long and descriptive forms can be intimidating which may encourage prospects to move on, instead of taking an advantage of whatever opportunity you are offering.

It astonishing how many leads can enter sales CRM software that is completely dead due to a misspelt email or an invalid mobile number etc.

On average B2B marketers have databases that are 25% inaccurate and that the cost of cleansing or amending the contact databases is 10-100x more than validating the records at the point of entry – Source: SiriusDecisions.

Implementing a validation service ensures that your inbounding leads have the right contact information, therefore, saving you time and money as it eliminates the process of manual cleansing. Furthermore, this will also supply your sales team or clients with higher quality leads encouraging higher conversion rates.

Tip 3 – Lead Delivery

A lot of data buyers don’t actually receive the leads they’re purchasing until after the expiration date. ie. the leads received by the buyer are mostly delayed (and therefore cold), costing the business hundreds, sometimes even thousands of lost opportunities.

Delaying the delivery of leads can sometimes hinder the validity and conversion rates as more often than not, the customer that was ready to transact has simply forgotten and lost their impulse to buy.

For marketers nowadays, delivery has to be done in real-time. Prospects study and assess products very quickly. They also move between sources promptly, therefore, marketers must be able to keep up with this.
