There’s a simple way to get more and better website leads, and it’s called lead validation. Most companies don’t do it, and if you do, you’ll start seeing a big improvement in both the quality and quantity of your leads.
Website leads generated by SEO, PPC, email marketing, etc., flow through the website as form submissions or phone inquiries. Any sales rep who has ever gotten website “leads” knows that not all of these leads are very good, and in fact, a lot of them aren’t really leads at all.
In our analysis of over 600,000 online conversions, we discovered that half of conversions are something other than sales leads.
By validating leads — separating actual sales leads from non-lead conversions — companies can make wiser decisions on how much to spend on their Internet marketing, and make wiser decision on how to improve their campaigns. Over time, better spending and more rapidly evolving campaigns gives a big boost to lead production and quality, helping sales people close more deals and helping them avoid wasting time on non-leads.
