1 Lead generation

Lead generation is the process of attracting and capturing potential customers who have shown some interest or curiosity in your technical product or solution. You can use various sources and methods to generate leads, such as online marketing, referrals, events, webinars, content, social media, cold calls, and emails. The key is to provide relevant and valuable information that educates, entertains, or solves a problem for your target audience. You should also have a clear and compelling call to action that invites them to take the next step, such as downloading a white paper, signing up for a demo, or requesting a consultation.

2 Lead scoring

Lead scoring is the process of assigning a numerical value to each lead based on their profile and behavior. This helps you prioritize and segment your leads according to their level of interest and readiness to buy. You can use various criteria to score your leads, such as demographic, firmographic, psychographic, and behavioral data. For example, you can assign higher scores to leads who have a specific job title, work in a certain industry, have a certain budget, or have visited your website multiple times. You should also align your lead scoring system with your sales cycle and your buyer personas.

3 Lead nurturing

Lead nurturing is the process of building and maintaining a relationship with your leads until they are ready to make a purchase decision. You can use various channels and tools to nurture your leads, such as email, phone, chat, video, social media, and content. The key is to provide personalized and relevant communication that addresses their pain points, challenges, goals, and objections. You should also offer value-added content that educates, inspires, or persuades them to move forward in the sales funnel. You should also monitor and measure your lead nurturing efforts and optimize them based on feedback and results.

4 Lead validation

Lead validation is the process of verifying and confirming that your leads are qualified and interested in your technical product or solution. You can use various techniques to validate your leads, such as asking open-ended questions, listening actively, demonstrating empathy, showing credibility, and providing proof. The key is to uncover their needs, wants, motivations, and expectations and to match them with your value proposition and differentiation. You should also identify and overcome any barriers or objections that may prevent them from buying. You should also ask for commitment and close the deal or move them to the next stage of the sales process.

In my experience, it’s critical to remember that different sources/channels produce different types of leads requiring varying strategies for downstream management. Having a defined process for what happens after a lead is qualified and passed to sales is equally as important as lead generation itself. Many organizations focus on finding more leads above evaluating their process for managing the ones they do have. Lead generation is an ongoing process. Having a standardized and consistent process that is managed to with accountability by sales teams is vital for continued refinement.
