Business marketing is an art. It is essential to be well versed in this art if you wish to improve sales and profit. Getting qualified leads using the web is a technique which can get you potential customers. Generating qualified leads in a B2B environment is a process in which the top management as well the sales and marketing team needs to be functioning together using lead scoring. When the sales and marketing team perceives leads in the same manner, then it is easier to generate leads.

What is a qualified lead? Well, a prospect which has an application for your product or services. The prospect’s budget and the size of the opportunity also go a long way in determining a qualified lead. A qualified lead could be a company where you can do problem solving with the aid of your products or services. Apart from these a truly qualified lead should have an established ongoing project. The lead should also provide reasonable time for you to sell your product.

To be able to generate qualified leads, you must identify the traffic generation sources with an improved qualification rate and also ideal close rate. You must have a proper CRM/sales workflow system and the analytics that aids you to close the loop from marketing to closing the deal. Spending time to examine and refine offers and creating additional content works well with your prospects.

Understanding your leads is mandatory. Revise the methods of capturing leads. Examine your lead forms to establish the right balance of questions to keep the lead count and the quality up to the mark. Utilize a platform which allows you to capture web activity and incorporate information in the customer profile for sales. This normally involves tagging content to find out its value in the buying and selling process.

Revise and improve your process of lead distribution. Often delays in responding to the forms cause inadequate lead generation. It is wise to use a platform which will automatically distribute leads depending on the customer profile you have gathered through their visits. You can either have the prospect fill out the form or information can be gathered through web activity. Improve the time of lead response. Organizing a webinar is an effective way to generate leads. Post your social event on Twitter and Facebook. Ensure that you provide the right link that will direct the visitors to your registration page. You can ask for information that will include email address, name and contact number from the prospect. Another way to generate qualified leads in business marketing is by writing press releases. Provide the overview of your webinar through the press release and provide details like the place where the event is taking place. Incorporate keywords in the press release for search engine optimization.
