- Before you can increase your sales ready leads you need to identify at what point a lead becomes sales ready. Sales and marketing both need to agree on this criteria. A sales ready lead isn’t just about what stage in the buying journey the lead is it – it has to be the right lead.
- Sales and marketing teams are famous for not getting along. Something we pride ourselves on at communigator is aligning both teams around their sales cycle. We do that using a number of different technologies, strategies. But also by agreeing on when a lead is a lead and what a lead is. Once this is decided
- For us a sales ready lead is when someone is actively showing buying intent on our website. As soon as they reach 50points in a month (through page/content scoring) they, to us, are ready for a sales call. Likewise our sales team will not call any leads that are not ‘sales-ready’ leaving them to focus solely on sales ready leads they know are easier to convert. We have done some backwards digging to find out when a lead is hot and what we deem a hot lead. Take a look at your previous leads journeys, your previous customers – what content did they interact with – where you approaching them too soon? Or not soon enough
- As marketers we need to be sure we are producing the right leads in order for us to make it easier for ourselves to provide sales ready leads. And qualified leads we know will convert. It starts with understanding your data. Who you are marketing to and who you need to be targeting. Who are your customers – what attributes make up your current customer base
- For us – we have identified what we call our ‘killer values’, this could be turnover, size, industry, location, job titles. Sales and marketing then both know exactly the companies they need to target to convert into a sales. Again we did our research on our current customers to identify the attributes that make up our existing client base and found the common denominator
- Our killer values are… Because we know these are the companies we can do business with. We only target accounts that meet all of these killer values – in both marketing and sales.
- How are you going to know who your sales ready leads are if you are not scoring them based on their interest *explain each tier* then rank your leads based on the journey they have been on through your site – they determine how hot they are and how ready to buy they are
- Organise your sales teams day based on hot leads – set up alerts to alert your teams when their leads turn hot or when a new hot lead visits your website so you never miss a lead again
- By using IP tracking software you can identify your leads interests and gain a better understanding of their needs. Identify what their challenges are, what their pain points might be and what content topic is of interest to them – your sales team can then really tailor their sales pitch before even having a conversation. Sales can paint a picture of each individuals leads behaviour before they make the call – from very first visit – which marketing campaign attracted them to you, right up until what turned them from cold to hot.
- Companies with lead nurturing in place produce 50% more sales ready leads at a 33% lower costs – By qualified we mean handed over from marketing to sales. Leads should only be handed over to sales once they are ready to buy. Its up to marketing to nurture leads until the point they are ready to pass over to sales – sales job is to swoop in at the right time to convert into an opportunity
- Use your content to warm up your leads ready for sales. As marketers it’s our job to pass over qualified leads that are already educated about us, our product and offerings, and best practice tips. Use your content to educate your leads. Take advantage of your leads entry point to your website – what content topic are they engaging with and interacting with – use this topic as your starting point for their nurture journey Set up separate nurture streams for separate activities on your website. Build up your leads score until they are ready to be passed over to sales
- From scoring your pages and leads you will have a better understanding of where they are in the buyers journey. Colder leads, who have just read a blog or two should not be passed over to sales. These guys need warming up with more content, educate them to understand who you are and what you can do for them before passing them over. The idea behind page scoring & lead nurturing is warming all your leads up until they are fit to pass to sales.
- Send the right people (you know you are targeting your personas – the decision makers at your top target accounts) with the right content (based on the content topic they are engaging with and from the relevant tier of engagement – discover, consider, decide) and at the right time - let your leads set the pace with when they receive content from you. Based on their engagement levels – times and days. Not too soon, not too late etc and when they are ready for it
- The results we have seen from splitting out our data using lead scoring – sending the right people the right content at the right time. You can really see the funnel here and how people will engage more when they are able to set the pace
- Your shop window – that’s where you direct your leads to right? Well it should be. Direct the right traffic to your website then watch their every move around. 88% of buyers will research products they intend to purchase online (source: Google)

- 6 A/B test your landing pages to get the best reaction 6 results possible. 7 Create a sense of urgency if you want them to react to your landing page.
