2. We’re sure you know by now that about 95% of potential B2B buyers research online
before deciding to make a purchase. And obviously, this means that there is a huge
opportunity to create good leads online and successfully convert them into sales.
Unfortunately, it’s not so simple. Because B2B leads are different from B2C leads, and
the process of B2B decision making is more complex and layered than that of B2C.
Therefore, the way to generate these leads need to be approached differently too.
According to a recent report, most top B2B marketers named getting good quality
leads online as their biggest marketing challenge!

3.  Take advantage of data: Contrary to traditional marketing methods, online
marketing is measurable! And that gives you a great advantage in planning your
marketing campaigns. Before making decisions about lead generation campaigns,
analyse the available data and what it indicates, in terms of what works and what
doesn’t.
 Identify your buyer persona: Craft clear buyer personas and think from each
relevant persona’s point of view.
So, How Does One Go About Getting High Quality B2B Leads?

4.  Pinpoint the buyer’s stage in the journey: Identify the stage that the buyer
might be in his buyer’s journey and create your marketing strategy according to
that. If the buyer is undecided about his problem and the solution required, nudge
him towards a solution/decision by offering helpful content at this stage. High
quality content is highly recommended at this stage to obtain high quality
leads.

5. On an average, every $1 spent on lead nurturing emails yields a return of about $44.
In other words, lead nurturing with the help of email marketing, works by helping to
create trust in sceptical prospects. It gives you the opportunity to personally reach out
to your prospects in ways most suitable to them and convince them that you’re
dependable.
Targeted emailing is one of the most effective and economical lead nurturing methods
available. In fact, research firm McKinsey states that, after organic search, emails are
the next best channel for acquiring great leads.
 Nurture your leads patiently: Fact: About 3/4th of leads are not ready to commit
to a purchase. Meaning, that this is where lead nurturing comes in – that effective
practice that builds relationships with prospective customers by engaging them and
nudging them down the sales funnel.

6.  Analyse prospect actions: As you communicate with your lead and develop a
trusting relationship through email marketing, pay close attention to the actions and
behaviour of the lead and modify your actions accordingly.
Use marketing automation software to derive critical data about what emails/CTAs
the lead is clicking on or ignoring. With the insights gained by data analysis you will
get a better idea of what the lead needs and how to supply it to him.

7. 1. These are just a few of the ways you can go about generating good, high-quality
leads that are likely to convert to paying customers.
2. However, do remember that despite employing all the above techniques, you may
not be able to convert every one of your leads.
3. That is okay. Sometimes, the prospect is simply not interested in anything other
than the free offer of content.
4. So, let them go. Focus, instead, on those who show a gradual, though cautious,
increase in interest in your product/service.
