How do you get leads to become customers? How do you move from generating leads to actually closing them? A tried-and-true approach exists, and it involves very little mysticism. Be consistent, and that’s all that’s needed. The following are five methods for turning prospects into buyers:
- Get to know your ideal customers
- Establish your name in the community
- Consistently Follow up
- Use email to keep in touch with them, then retargeting ads to reach them again
Get to know your ideal customers
At each stage of the marketing process, you must know your target audience and the specific behaviors that set them apart. So, this is where lead qualification comes in. Gathering this information will help you determine whether or not your leads are marketing-qualified and hence ready for further nurturing or the ask (sales qualified leads).
Establish your name in the community
You should use all the tools at your disposal to increase your impact. Create high-quality material like articles and videos and promote them on social media
Ensure that:
- The information you provide is tailored to the specific interests, requirements, and concerns of each of your offer’s personas, including the reasons they want to buy, the ways they plan to put your product or service to use, and the risks they face if they don’t opt in.
- High-intent actions, such as visiting your pricing page, registering for a demo, interacting with a chatbot, etc., trigger follow-up communications.
Consistently Follow up
Make sure to follow up quickly and consistently. Here is where automation really shines, as it allows you to contact a lead within five minutes and immediately qualify them for marketing or sales.
Use email to keep in touch with them, then retargeting ads to reach them again
Data collecting is also facilitated by emails. Why do they open and click when you approach them? Take advantage of this data for lead nurturing and retargeting. You can requalify old leads using advertising.
Collecting and qualifying data, then nurturing and following up with the prospect, all of these components make up a strategy that can be used to each lead. When you and your team have this technique down, you’ll immediately see how much time it saves while still allowing you to take care of every lead that comes in.
