Lead Generation Services
Lead
Generation and telemarketing services are popular choices for companies
with a need for increased activity but limited resources or lack of
experience.
Lead generation is a marketing term
that refers to the generation of prospects or enquiries. There are two
different types of leads in the lead generation market: sales leads and
marketing leads.
These leads can be generated for a variety of
purposes such as winning customers, making appointments or providing
further information on products and services.
Sales leads are often based on demographic criteria, income, age etc. These leads can be for one or multiple advertisers. Sales leads are typically followed up through phone calls by the sales force, a telemarketing activity or one of the specialist lead generation companies. Sales leads are increasingly common in variety of industries, for example in the mortgage, insurance and telecoms markets. Marketing leads are brand-specific leads generated for a unique advertiser offer. In direct contrast to sales leads, marketing leads are sold only once. Because transparency is a necessary requisite for generating marketing leads, marketing lead campaigns can be optimized by mapping leads to their sources.
The nature of lead generation depends entirely on the decision process of the buyer. For complex B2B products and services the challenge is identifying the most likely prospects and then educating and qualifying them before deploying more expensive sales resources. The education benefits the buyer; qualification benefits the seller. This gradual lead cultivation process is often a long term process.
Leads can be generated through various marketing methodologies:
- Internet marketing
- Telemarketing
- Online lead generation
- Email marketing
- Advertising
- Direct Mail
- Events and Trade Shows
- Seminars
- Public Relations
- Whitepapers
