Are there ideal numbers to shape a perfect lead generation figure?

#1 Help you decide which action is best to take

How much budget should be spent on the project? Will social media help in generating more leads? Who will be your target decision-makers?   

Before, during, and after the lead generation campaign, you will be bombarded with matters that require decision-making that will either bring improvement or impairment to the business. So, carefully take one step at a time and be keen on results to quickly, and wisely address any arising issues.

#2 Know your prospects better

Which system do your prospects need in order to integrate multiple business operations in a single system, how soon can they purchase, or which is the best time of the day or week are they most available for a meeting?  

Understand your prospects’ needs and preferences with regard to product type, financial capabilities, and buying behavior. A profiling campaign or survey may help generate data for these type of questions.  Do your market research!

#3 Track performance and quality

How many qualified leads are generated over the number of calls made per day? Does your CRM have an accurate lead-scoring process to determine sales-ready leads?  Are the contents compelling enough to drive web traffic?

Tracking key performance indicators and managing lead frequency and quality are peak factors to consider to declare the success or failure of a lead generation campaign. Close monitoring is required to adhere to quality. These lead qualification steps are the best in scoring leads if they are sales-ready or not.

#4 Improve technique

How many contacts does your database have? Which service channel is able to reach more prospects? Does your marketing automation tool enhance the lead nurturing process to deliver sales-ready leads?  

If your current marketing system is unable to scale up your sales numbers, then it’s high time for you to open your doors to smart marketing technology like a lead generation program that runs through multiple marketing channels that deliver highly closable leads.
