Five steps in how to be successful online - Step Four

The fourth step to starting a successful digital business is targeting the right audiences that are genuinely interested in your products and services. After creating a modern and responsive website with engaging content, and are continuously increasing your brand’s awareness, your website should be slowly gaining interest online from new and returning customers, which you need to be utilising.

Most businesses turn to cold calling to find potential customers, but this tactic is proven to be ineffective as only 2% of cold calls result in an appointment. A more secure approach to gaining leads for your business is through Lead Generation, which requires no cold calling or bombardment of information for potential customers.

Step Four - Targeting the right audiences

The process of Lead Generation includes using email marketing, search engine optimisation and telemarketing to attract new business for a client. If someone shows interest in a website’s product or services, a lead generation team will collect information about the person and then continue to create and send personalised E-Shots to the interested consumer. The entire process of Lead Generation is very extensive with factors including lead nurturing, follow-up newsletters, connection development, and excellent customer service to close a sale for a business. Only 22% of businesses are satisfied with their conversion rates, are you apart of this percentage? We can help!
