Lead Generation Tip: Measure Your Singapore Marketing Methods

Lead Generation Tip: Measure Your Singapore Marketing Methods
As b2b marketers, we are often so engrossed with finding qualified business leads and the various methods we can use to get those business sales leads to notice our brand that we forget to check how effective our efforts are.

When was the last time that you measured the results of your Singapore lead generation campaign? This isn't just about whether you do get any b2b leads or not, when you measure your b2b lead generation methods, you take into account other factors as well:
  • The number of qualified b2b leads generated compared to the size of your campaign.
  •  The actual value of all the generated leads after conversion.
  •  The total budget used on the b2b lead generation campaign.
  •  The duration of the campaign and the time needed for conversion.
  •  Where your qualified Singapore leads came from (referring sites or companies).
These and other important factors require measuring analytical data, and sometimes the task becomes too complicated or tedious that we forego it altogether. But the importance of measuring these factors cannot be stressed enough. If your b2b company does not have the time or skills to analyze all these data, then it would be best if you hire an experienced lead generation company. These firms provide analytical reports for all their marketing and lead generation campaigns so that you are updated not only with your campaign, but also the trends in your niche market. In particular, providers of quality telemarketing services deliver not only reports about the number of calls made, received and rejected, but also the effectiveness of a telemarketing script, whether the decision maker was easily reached, the best hours of the day to call, etc. B2b telemarketers essentially perform phone surveys for each call they make which help to further improve your targeting strategies

By measuring the factors that significantly impact your ability to generate quality business sales leads in Singapore, you will be able to adapt your methods whenever needed to appeal more to your market.

Avoid Making These Mistakes In Lead Generation

Avoid Making These Mistakes In Lead Generation
Business owners in Singapore are privileged to be established in a business-minded and forward thinking state. And certain opportunities to increase lead generating strategies may cause them to commit avoidable mistakes in the course of finding leads. Here are 3 don'ts in lead generation to avoid making those mistakes.

Don't overcorrect.
If your previous lead generation marketing plan lost a lot of potential sales leads because you had too little inbound telemarketers to field the incoming calls, don't be tempted to exaggerate your backup for your next telemarketing campaign. While having one or two reserves is good in case of sudden inbound call inflation, hiring too many telemarketers "just in case" would only increase your expenses. The best thing to do in this situation is to hire only what you can afford and field as much calls as your team can. This way, you would still be able to ensure the quality of your customer service and increase your chances of getting quantity qualified leads.

Don't forget creativity and innovation.
Just because a marketing plan proved to be effective, it doesn't mean that you should only use it for all your marketing campaigns. Singapore is a country rife with bright minds, so allow your team members to come up with other marketing strategies or even new product ideas. You might be surprised at what your brilliant minds can come up with.

Don't be a green-eyed business owner.
As your company grows, you will be tempted to try out every single marketing strategy that is popular in the business world. Perhaps you heard that competitor X used a so and so marketing strategy that got them hundreds of leads in just one day. Or you found out that competitor Y's b2b lead generation plan was incredibly cheap yet effective. While some lead generation marketing strategies could work for your business, not every lead generation strategy will be as effective for your company is it was for your competition. If your company is being sustained by leads from your telemarketing campaign, don't be eager to let it go just to transfer to a new marketing strategy.
