Discover and Refine Your Lead Sources

Identifying High-Value Leads

Finding leads isn't difficult, the real challenge lies in sorting out the best from the flock.

To achieve this, we base our strategies on case studies. Who gained the most value out of your service, or that of your client? And who is responsible for handling your service within these companies?

Key points to consider:

• Profile of the company: Understand the company size, industry, and the nature of its business. This can significantly influence the value they gain from your services.

• Role of the lead: Knowing who within the company interacts with or benefits from your offering is invaluable. Decision-makers, influencers, or end users, each have unique needs and speak different languages.

• Value derived: What problem did your service solve? Is it a widespread problem in their industry or unique to them?

If you're unsure about who to target, experiment with different options until you discover an effective classification and email combination. Use tools like Google Analytics to gauge what content or products attract visitors on your website. This helps refine your targeting approach. After that, your objective should be to gather as many similar leads as feasible.

Key areas to experiment with may include:

• Industry: Different industries may have distinct pain points that your service can address.

• Company size: Large companies may have different needs and budgets compared to smaller startups.

• Job roles: Different roles within a company can yield different responses. While decision-makers hold power, influencers and future decision-makers can also be valuable leads.

• Geography: Companies in different regions may respond differently to your offering due to cultural, economic, or regulatory differences.
