Lead generation made simple
We don't have enough qualified sales opportunities to make our numbers. How can we get more?
Email open and click-through rates are too low. How can we get those numbers up?
Outbound calling is not very effective and it's prohibitively expense. How can we do better?
It ain't rocket science, after all. Let's eliminate the clutter.
You're looking to grow revenue by acquiring new customers. Companies grow revenue by 18% and double their average deal size on average when they do this the right way. But your mind's probably overwhelmed with information.
To acquire customers, you need to earn the trust of strangers. That's not easy. After all, the opening line in the white paper on the right, How to Find New Customers, is:
Selling is easy. Winning the trust of strangers is hard.
If you want to learn how to win the trust of strangers to grow revenue, you're at the right place. Let me give you a hint of what you'll learn here:
The Need for Remarkable Content
Let's rank marketing content on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being awful and 10 being great, Most marketing I've seen on business to business webstites, I'd rank at a 3 -- mediocre at best. So where would those marketers like to be? Almost all marketers will say you need to be a 10. But I've got news for you:
Today, you need to be a 12! After all, you don't want to be invisible, do you?
"Either you're remarkable or you're invisible" - Seth Godin
What's a 12? It's remarkable content -- so interesting that people remark to each other about it. That gets word of mouth going -- the most powerful marketing on Earth. But don't we have to have remarkable offerings to make remarkable content? Absolutely not. Look at these examples:
- How about a boring product like blender? Check out Will it Blend in which they throw in golf balls, iPods and more.
- What about startup software firm, HubSpot, and their Friday afternoon "TV show" HubSpot TV
- Finally, there that dense, complex and boring product, wine.Check out Gary Vanderchuck's WineLibraryTV
Blenders, software and wine. 3 regular boring products with 3 over-the-top marketing approaches.
Why Good is Not Good Enough
But you may be asking, "We have really good content. Why not a 10? Why isn't our content good enough?"
Because there are lots of 10's out there -- and they all sound exactly alike to your prospects.
So being a 10 get a "So what?" reaction from prospective buyers. You simply HAVE to be a 12.
What are you doing to ensure you're not invisible?
Let's make lead generation simple.
