The Buyers Journey
Exposure - Awareness
Increase exposure of your business by creating content that connects with your prospects at the right place and at the right time. Raise awareness of your key marketing messages and value proposition at scale.
Expertise - Consideration
Position yourself as an expert in your field by providing evidence to back up your claims such as research white papers, customer case studies, independent reviews testimonials. Facilitate prospect engagement.
Trust - Decision
Establish trust with your customers by ensuring your sales team offers highly personalised support. Offer product demos, pricing comparisons, relevant use cases and clear feature and benefit breakdowns. Sales enablement is key.
Inbound Lead Generation - Defined
Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) are prospects that have expressed an interest in your product or service. This could be through submission of their contact details on your website, registering to your virtual or in-person event, downloading your content or even browsing through your site landing pages. Inbound lead generation allows you to build your community of prospects and nurture them into loyal customers.
What is the Difference Between Inbound and Outbound Lead Generation?
Outbound
Involves actively going out to find your leads. You're going to them, instead of them coming to you. ‘Cold calling' is a typical example of outbound activity. This is a sales driven approach.
Inbound
Encourages prospects to make inquiries out of their own accord. A webinar inviting people to register and interact with your thought leaders is an example of inbound activity. This is a marketing approach.
MQL
These are contacts who’ve engaged with your marketing team’s efforts. Examples include making inquiries through social media, visiting your website, downloading an asset or registering for an event or newsletter.
SQL
These are contacts who’ve taken actions indicating their interest in purchasing your product or service. An example of an SQL is a contact who fills out a form requesting a product demo or pricing comparison.
