Inbound Leads
reduce costs + increase quality & quantity
Why you should shift your focus to inbound leads
Control the cost, number and type of leads you generate.
How do you generate inbound leads?
A business must create content that its audience craves.
Take this hypothetical . . .
What’s the difference between outbound and inbound leads?
It’s the difference between passive and impassive communication.
Inbound leads have approached the company and responded to a piece of original content they’ve found on their own accord. The key part here is that the inbound leads have seen the business offers a potential solution to a problem they face. Hence why they enquired in the first place. In short, by following this inbound method, a business is more or less assured of receiving firm enquiries from a keen buyer.
In comparison to this, outbound leads are where the business has actively sent a message to the customer. This could be something as simple as posting a flyer through the door; in the hope that their would-be customer responds. Whilst outbound lead generation might initially be quicker, its conversion numbers are far lower. Therefore, some of these techniques can prove unfruitful. This is particularly evident when compared to the higher yield of inbound leads.
How much do inbound leads cost?
Affords yourself a far clearer indication of firm figures.
Broadly speaking, the cost of inbound leads drastically varies from industry to industry. Individual businesses like yours can track the number of enquiries originating from campaigns. However, generally speaking, they are always measurable when put under closer scrutiny. Once fed into a CRM system, the system will then allow you to track the cost per enquiry and cost per customer. This affords you a far clearer indication of firm figures. However, whilst the cost drastically varies, the more important question is how much inbound leads would cost you were you not to pursue them?
