Sales

Sales are more effective if the sales team is provided with a significant volume of high-quality leads. Sales teams that do not have a solid lead source will spend as much as 90% of their time generating and qualifying leads. A poorly constructed marketing plan can generate a large volume of leads, but may still result in a loss of time and in some cases a decline in sales. On the other hand effective well planned marketing efforts target a specific audience that is likely to purchase your product or service. When executed properly, the sales team can focus as much as 80% of their time on closing customers and generating sales revenue.

Our team at Score Consulting understands the dynamics and interactions between sales and marketing. To increase the success of the real end goal, we focus all of our marketing efforts on improving relationships with the target demographic and the generation of qualified leads from that marketplace.

Marketing strategies that lead to sales:

The most common mistake made in any marketing effort, is a failure to plan. Blindly marketing to an undefined market or delivering a message that is not in line with your products brand, may produce a significant volume of leads. However, when the message or target is poorly defined, the resulting leads are not likely to closely match the profile of a prospective customer. This means that the sales team will be very inefficient because of the added burden of lead qualification.

Marketing professionals with experience in strategic planning can analyze your existing customer base and target markets to identify the characteristics of the ideal customer. From there marketing can be refined to focus on that customer profile and entice prospects with those shared characteristics to act on marketing material. This results in highly qualified leads and equally high conversion ratios. Most importantly, this approach yields high returns on your marketing investment.

Automating lead qualification is cost effective and can be an easy task if the target customer base is well understood. Through this understanding it is possible to build response mechanisms and contact processes that automatically identify closely matched prospects. Using this information, sales can be executed in a tiered approach focusing on sure thing sales first and working backwards to those prospects and leads that have little potential of closing. Marketing techniques like direct response or web tracking are at the center of these types of strategic lead prioritization efforts.
