Improving the Return on Investment (ROI) is every company’s goal. Many business owners may be struggling to find a timely and cost efficient way to do just that. One of the best ways to improve a company’s ROI is through lead generation. Now, there are a number of ways to generate leads, some more costly and time-consuming than others. However, with the right lead generation strategy you can start to see results almost immediately. When it comes to improving your company’s ROI, lead generation offers sustainable growth and therefore, an essential element to improving.
There are quite a number of tools and platforms out there that can help you on your path to improving your ROI. By leveraging those – and keeping in the know regarding the latest trends in your industry – you can ultimately set your business up for success.
Here are a few strategies that you can apply to your company’s lead generation campaigns:
This is an important one. To effectively conduct any lead generation efforts, you must first have a clear understanding of exactly who you’re selling to. Who is your target audience? Without knowing this, you’ll ultimately be wasting your time and hard-earned money. Here are some things to consider when defining your target audience:
- What industry(ies) are you targeting?
- Are you selling to B2B or B2C clients?
- What role does your target audience play? Are they the CEO, CTO, COO, Director of Human Resources?
- Are you looking for clients locally or nationally?
- What is their pain point and how can your products/services solve that pain point?
Back in the day – what feels like forever ago, but really wasn’t – billboards, commercials and flyers in the mail were where businesses would turn to for lead generation. These days however, the majority of marketing is conducted online (aka digital marketing). Digital marketing can consist of things like social media (both paid advertising and organic posting), search engine optimization, Google Ads, etc.
The key to mastering those channels is a two-pronged approach: 1) Where is your audience predominantly located (LinkedIn or Facebook; or are they using more Google Search to find you?), and 2) Personalization. Your lead generation efforts should appeal to your target audience so that they feel a connection and that you’re addressing their pain point.
While many try to tackle their own lead generation, quite a few end up frustrated by the amount of time they need to dedicate to it or the ROI (or lack thereof) – or perhaps a combination of the two. Many of those that fall into that category turn to outsourcing their lead generation to companies that offer outsourced lead generation services.
Time and money can be two of the biggest influencers in determining which lead generation strategy is right for you. By working with an outsourced lead generation company, such as SalesGig, you only spend a fraction of the cost that you would spend by hiring an in-house sales team. Outsourced lead generation companies have been generating leads for companies everywhere and have years of experience. By working with them, you gain all of that experience and know-how to run an effective and successful lead generation campaign sure to improve your ROI.
Regardless of which strategy you opt to utilize, it’s imperative that you take some time periodically to analyze the results. After running campaigns for a little while you’ll want to consider the following things:
- Am I reaching my target audience?
o If not, do I need to refine my target audience?
- Are they converting?
o If not, should I improve my messaging or sales pitch?
- Am I spending enough?
o Sometimes a low budget can negatively impact your results as you’re likely competing to get in front of your target audience online.
After considering how your campaign is performing, you may want to adjust your strategy to boost the campaign results. Remember, it can take time to get refined down to reach the results you’re looking for.
