As a sales professional, attracting and managing leads is a key part of the job. Fortunately, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software plays a major part in facilitating the process of lead generation and making it more efficient. When utilized correctly, a CRM can help a sales team with the four most important steps of the lead generation process.
Understanding the lead generation process
- Identifying the target audience/customer: Who is that specific group or consumer most likely to want your product or service? A target audience is dictated by age, gender, income, interests, and many other factors too. It’s important to crave out time when approaching this step in the process to really consider who your ideal customer is.
- Creating engaging content: How do I attract the ideal customer? What tools are available in the CRM to create compelling content? This could include email marketing, mailers, integrated campaigns that get pushed out via social media, retargeting and so on.
- Increasing traffic across channels: After creating engaging content, the sales professional should consider working with the marketing team on ways to optimize it, including SEO strategies, paid advertising etc.
- Conversion: Getting your customer to perform the desired action i.e., BUY, BUY, BUY!
Before discussing how ApostleTech’s lead matching tool, LeadGen360 can help improve efficiencies let’s ask the big question here: Is the sales team already capturing the customer information needed to convert leads and work more effectively? Being able to access information in real-time and generate the right reports is a huge factor to consider in the lead management process. Many CRM solutions are outdated and haven’t been evaluated or developed to include the many factors a sales professional needs to consider in today’s business world. Managing the customer journey doesn’t have to be complicated and having the right tools available can make a dramatic difference.
