Let’s Talk Growing Leads and Increasing Traffic

Ask any marketer or demand generation professional and they’ll tell you they want two things: To grow traffic and to generate more quality leads.

On The Path to Boosting Revenue

Most marketers want to increase revenue. According to data collected by the research firm Ascend2 and SharpSpring, and published in The State of MarTech report, acquiring more customers and growing revenue were the top 2 priorities of marketing professionals. But in order to get there, generating quality traffic and leads must come first.

That’s easier said than done, as marketers identified generating quality leads as the #1 greatest challenge of their overall digital marketing strategy, according to The State of MarTech. So how do you get the leads to grow revenue? Let’s take a closer look.

 

3 Issues 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 gaining increased traffic. Here are a few issues marketers have identified as sticking points to lead and traffic growth.

Issue #1: Can’t Carry Out Effective Targeted Campaigns

It’s not easy to find the right messaging and communicate it to the right audience at the right time. Not seeing the results of your efforts is extremely frustrating.

Issue #2: No Time or Resources to Spur Growth “

You can’t underestimate the importance of having enough time or the right resources. When you’re focused on creating the campaigns themselves, or poring over the data to determine their effectiveness, there isn’t brain space left to generate innovative ideas for business growth.

Issue #3: My Marketing Tools Aren’t Helping

While marketing tools are great to have, if there are too many of them, or they don’t play well with other tools, then they become a huge hindrance. Streamlined tools make it easier to see campaign results to determine if adjustments are needed.

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? -Chase Bertrand,

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. -Yusuf Young
