Lead generation

Lead generation is easy to do badly: buy traffic, put a form in front of it, and count the submissions. What matters is how many of those turn into customers, which is decided by who you attract and what happens in the first hour after they enquire.

The work

What lead generation involves

Attracting the right enquiries

It is straightforward to double your enquiry count and halve your conversion rate. Targeting sits on the terms and audiences that indicate a real intention to buy, and qualification happens on the page rather than passing everything through and letting your sales team sort it out.

Making it easy to enquire

Short forms, obvious phone numbers, and an offer proportionate to the stage somebody is at. Asking a first time visitor to book a demo is asking for a decision they cannot yet make. A smaller ask converts more and costs less.

What happens next

Speed of response predicts conversion more reliably than almost anything else. The routing, the notifications and the follow up are set up so a lead is answered in minutes rather than the next working day, and every lead is recorded and attributed.

Questions

Common questions

How much does a lead cost?

It varies enormously by sector. The more useful figure is cost per customer, and the work runs back from that rather than optimising for cheap enquiries.

Can you guarantee a number of leads?

A forecast can be built from what your current numbers show. Anyone guaranteeing a volume without knowing your conversion rate is selling you something else.

Do you buy leads from third parties?

No. Shared leads are sold to your competitors at the same time and convert accordingly.

What if our sales team cannot handle more?

Then that is the constraint and more leads will not help. Fixing the follow up comes first.

How quickly should we respond?

Within minutes where you can. Conversion rates fall sharply after the first hour and keep falling.

How do you know which leads become customers?

Forms and calls are connected to your CRM, so each lead can be traced from its first click to a sale or a lost deal. Without that link, a campaign can only be judged on volume, which is how cheap leads end up looking like good ones.

Share how many enquiries you get a month and how many become customers. The gap between those two numbers is usually where the money is.
