Why are leads growing but sales aren’t?
A client’s bottom line is the ultimate measure of an agency’s value. So when you’re getting leads, but revenue isn’t growing, it’s an issue that needs solving. Now.
Understand Your Client’s Expectations
Agencies are usually tasked with two things: Growing traffic and generating quality leads. But leaving it at that, and saying, “Well, we got the leads, but it’s not our job to get the sales,” is a mistake agencies make too often. Making revenue grow is what’s most important. Just ask your client’s executive team.
In a recent survey of marketing professionals, generating quality traffic and leads made the list in response to the question, what are the top priorities for your marketing campaign. But the top two answers were acquiring more customers and growing revenue. It also uncovered that the executive team is 40% less likely than other marketers to consider goals such as quality leads. Where agencies need to focus could not be clearer.
3 Hurdles to Growing Leads and Traffic
While generating more sales and revenue is the end goal, it’s also the downstream result of growing leads and getting an increase in traffic. First things first. Agencies have to understand their client’s pain points when it comes to leads and traffic, to eventually win the day by stimulating revenue. Here are a few points to consider.
59% of marketing professionals believe acquiring more customers and growing revenue are the top priorities for their campaigns.

How Do You Get On The Path To Revenue Growth?
- Consolidate to Provide Clarity – By making your technology stack leaner, you’re eliminating silos that prevent better end-to-end views of prospects and customers, which means you’ll help deliver a better 1-to-1 experience.
- Take Campaign Efforts Off Your Client’s Plate – You worry about messaging, target audiences and making adjustments to hit campaign goals, which frees up your client to focus on more important things, like innovation.
- Track Engagement – Every strategy to grow leads and traffic must include a single-source view on tracking engagement, which allows you to nurture those leads with dynamic, personalized content to convert them to sales faster.
The Challenges to Increasing Leads that Increase Revenue
- Marketers are struggling to create effective, targeted campaigns
- Too many ineffective tools in the tech stack.

Gaining and Closing More Leads
Say you get 10,000 leads per year and close 2,000 of them. What about the other 8,000? Do you have a process to follow up with those leads and convert them? Imagine closing just 10% of those 8,000 missed leads. How much more business would that mean for you?

Solid Strategies Drives Sales
A marketing automation platform without a strategy is like a car without gas – you won’t get anywhere. To succeed, you need both. Campaigns need to be properly dispersed and tied back to actual sales, and SharpSpring is the best vehicle to make that happen.
