"God provides the sails, but man must provide the wind" St. Augustine

Your sales won't increase by themself. You must provide the work to get it done. The work includes, the right strategy and the right tactics implemented consistently. You may have SEO, Google Adwords and perhaps social media and email marketing and other tactics. But do you have the process written down? Is it being tweaked to provide the best conversion optimization. Do you answer the phone the same way? Ask the same questions? Or is your sales funneling missing a few things?

Not all Websites sell something directly. It’s not easy to put a service in a shopping cart and check out. Other products are too complicated or customized to use an e-commerce Website. Still other companies, for a variety of reasons do not want to engage in online sales, but need to attract customers to come into their store or call their business. In these cases the Website owner use the Internet to attract prospects, increase awareness, assist with client relationships, and help with leveraging customers. A Lead Generation system can be developed for a B2B (business to business) or B2C (business to consumer company). 

After carefully defining or updating your target audience demographics and psychographics, you need to develop what we call "Life of the Lead".  Leads are ranked according to your industry's specifications from Suspect, Prospect, Lead and Client. We can given connect the prospect's digital foot print to the database. When calling a prospect, wouldn't you want to know if they just came back from a fantastic vacation, or play golf or maybe they just published an article. All these things are value in building a relationship and trust with your prospect. 

Data is collected and systems are built for your suspect to receive valuable information which can help them in their business. Perhaps it's the latest article about market projections in their industry. Or it's an article about their competitor. Or perhaps they receive a postcard from you congratulating them on a promotion or a book they just published. Keeping up with these details is impossible unless you have the right marketing lead generation and client nurturing tools and system to help you nurture a prospect so that you can turn them into a lead. 

Imagine that your prospect tells you that they are not able to make a purchase until August. That's 6 months away. So, you put them in your CRM system to call in early August or even late July. However, what if you knew that in May they've been to your site 5 times in the last week. They've also posted on Social Media comments about a solution similar to your product or service. Are they gathering information in May to make a decision in August? Or, what perhaps, what is really going on is that the purchase will be made in May. Your Lead Generation System gives you an alert telling you the prospect's activity and moved them into to the "must call now" category.  They are now a "hot lead" and not just someone being nurtured to remember you and your company. 

What type of system do you have? What kind of system do you need to close sales faster and more efficiently? That is where a company like ePlus Marketing can come in and help you. A full service digital marketing company just doesn't design and develop and website, SEO, Social Media and Google Adwords. They should be assisting you in closing the from turning a suspect to a client.

When we met Brad he was a new Global Market Development Manager at Solutia. Solutia is a 2.8 billion dollar international plastics material and resin manufacturing company. Brad was in charge of a brand called Vydyne, a nylon plastic pellet which was sold by the tons around the world. These plastic pellets go into the manufacturing of a variety of products, from airplane parts to executive chairs. Solutia is a spinoff from Monsanto and did not have a marketing department. The new spinoff left marketing up to individual global market managers.

“We could not have done this without all your time, dedication, work, professionalism, and overall support. To top it off, you've simply been fun to work with and are very generous and caring people.” -  Brad Carmody, Solutia
