Lead Generation solutions with 8 Miles
At 8 miles solution we believe that the whole lead generation process is cultivating interests or intriguing the prospects in order to create a sales pipeline. The first step we take is to identify the target audience. The criteria for targeting them can be their location, their industry, their job function or even their designation. We also take into account the category of goods and services. The next step is to choose a medium for reaching out to them. This can be through emails, telemarketing, direct mail or fax. Once we have identified the medium, we reach out to the customers through it. These mediums are categorized into 3 categories:
- Verbal– Verbal communication includes telemarketing. Here our agents interact with the potential customers personally and try to build rapport with them. A good rapport between an agent and a customer will help us in making a sale when the time comes. Depending upon our client’s need we identify which campaign is the best choice for verbal lead generation at the moment and here are some examples of the campaigns:
- BANT stands for Budget, Authority, Need and Timeframe. This sales qualification framework helps prioritize leads so that sales reps spend their time on the most promising prospects. It also helps sales teams set an achievable revenue goal.
- Whitepaper Campaigns: We distribute your content to your target audience using multiple channels. Prospects read your content, which positions you as an authority in your industry, then they become leads by providing you with their contact information.
- Appointment Generation: We make all the calls for you and do the qualifying work for you. The difference is that we set appointments with senior-level decision-makers at companies that already have an interest in your products or services. This means that there is less resistance from prospects because they were already interested in what you do before they ever spoke with us.
- SQL campaigns: This is a process to generate “Sales Qualified Leads”. In this, we first identify the target segments and then create a list of companies and key decision-makers in that segment. Then our team conducts research on these companies and finds out which of your products or services would benefit them the most. After that, we conduct calls to all these key decision-makers and book appointments for your sales team.
- MQL campaigns: When you are looking for more leads to market your product or service, you can opt for these campaigns where we generate leads who have shown interest in your offerings by making them respond to an ad, an email campaign, or have visited your website or landing page. These are called “Marketing Qualified Leads” and our team will work on generating such leads for you who are likely to be converted into customers soon.
- Webinars: Webinars are a great way to provide value to your audience while also promoting your company and products. You can host webinars on your own or partner with other companies and organizations to present joint webinars. Because webinars are often recorded, you can also use this format as a lead magnet by offering it as a free download after the webinar is complete.
- Written– We believe that providing value for your customers can help you gain their trust, and we take that belief to heart when designing our lead generation campaigns.
At 8 Miles Solution, we provide relevant information to your customers about the industry you are in and how you stand out from the competition. This enables us to drive qualified leads to your website, giving you the opportunity to convert them into lasting customers.
Email marketing campaigns: We design and implement email marketing campaigns that help you to engage with your customers and potential customers. The objective of these campaigns is to generate more leads. We also track the results of these campaigns using different metrics so that we can understand how effective they are in terms of generating the required number of leads.
One to one emails campaigns: We also design and implement one to one emails campaigns targeting specific customers or potential customers. We use very specific content in these emails to make them relevant and highly personalized. These emails are based on a deep understanding of the needs of the customers and are therefore highly effective in generating leads.
Content marketing: Content marketing is a form of digital marketing in which we write blogs, articles, white papers and case studies on topics that are relevant to the products or services provided by our clients. These contents are published on websites, blogs and social media platforms where they can be easily accessed by the target audience.
Digital– To ensure that you get the best possible results from your campaign, we work on every aspect of your online presence, from your website to all the ways it shows up in search engines and ad networks.
Here’s how we do it:
- Your Website: First, we develop a website for you that’s engaging, easy to navigate, and optimized for mobile, so your customers can find what they’re looking for whether they’re on their computer or their phone.
- On-Page SEO: We come up with a plan to optimize every page on your website (called “on-page SEO”) to make sure that you show up as high as possible in search engine rankings when people are searching for the products or services you offer.
- Off-Page SEO: After that, we work on outside factors (called “off-page SEO”) like getting links from other websites and social media platforms that feature content about your business. These links give Google and other search engines extra confidence that you’re relevant and authoritative and should show up higher in search results.
- Digital Marketing: We also provide direct marketing services to help you reach a wider audience with more robust information about what you have to offer. We help develop new business opportunities that are going to be beneficial for both you and your customers, as well as making sure they stay loyal to you in the long run.
