What Is A Lead List?
Sales prospect lists are composed of companies or individuals who would benefit from your company's services. Through some research into your target market, you can create a comprehensive list of ideal buyers for your products or services. Compiling this sales prospect list enables you to develop an understanding of who the best clients are that fit your ideal buyer persona.
How Do You Identify The Perfect Lead?
Imagine you came across a bunch of leads - you nailed your marketing campaigns and spent close to nothing to acquire them. Amazing! What’s next? Is every single lead you got going to convert to a paying customer? Think again. If that were the case, every company on the planet should’ve been a unicorn by now.
Even the greatest of marketing efforts can’t do much if the sales team has its hands full with irrelevant prospects. And both teams are equally to blame on this one, because it's the marketing team’s job to act as the first wall that only allows for good quality leads, while the sales team needs to be able to identify quickly if a prospect is worth spending 15 minutes of persuasion or not.
If you’re stuck, don’t worry, here are a few metrics you can use to identify the perfect leads for your business, and then proceed to qualify and close them.
- Find the relevant company industry
- Make sure the company size is serviceable
- Organization location needs to be serviceable by your team.
- What does your ideal company’s revenue look like?
- Identify organization technographics - in essence, what kind of tech stack do they use, or work on?
- What is your lead’s role in the team/company
- Age
- Gender
- Your ideal user’s behaviour patterns
- Your lead’s reasons for clicking the ad, or signing up.
- Compare your ideal client’s pain points
- Compare your ideal client’s goals/targets
- Key performance indicators
- Your ideal customer’s work tools/software
- Where does your ideal customer reside?
- How your service can help the ideal customer.
This should give you an idea of what kind of research you’re looking at. You need to understand your business, your client’s business, and the business of your competitors. It does seem like you’re being made to juggle five knives at a time, while riding a unicycle, on a rope 10 metres above the ground, blindfolded.
Honestly, though, it’s not that complicated. All you have to do is manage a couple of things here and there, test it out, reiterate, make changes accordingly, repeat. It’s not complicated, but not easy either.
Perfecting your lead generation strategy can take a long time, but you can surely hurry the process a little. Let’s find out how in a bit. First, let’s learn what to do before you start making decisions and qualifying leads.
How To Prepare Yourself To Identify Leads Effectively
There are a lot of prerequisites that you need to qualify a lead, and this differs with every industry, but a few common indicators include (and we believe every person in the company needs to note these down):
- Know the product inside out.
- Know exactly what features are going to help which customer
- Research into your competitors and their major selling points
- What makes your product, maybe not a great catch
- Why do people NOT like your product?
- Sales pitches for every kind of potential ideal customer
- What kind of roadblocks would your potential customers face?
- How will your product or service help them?
These are difficult questions, but ones that definitely need to be answered before you can even think of qualifying your leads. It’ll take some time, but they should eventually start coming to you.
