You can do cold outreach and try to advertise to prospects you think need to buy your product. But that only accounts for 3% of the market. All competitors are also trying to get those prospects. You can instead reach the other 97%, guiding them through the different consideration and purchasing stages.
AKA the Buyer's Journey.
In this stage, they're starting to feel that they have a problem and start to conduct research to understand it, its consequences and how it impacts them. However, they may not be interested to invest in solutions quite yet. They still need to understand their problem.
To capture prospects at this stage, displaying an ad with a list of features won’t do. They need to be educated and informed on their situation.
Provide a lot of educational content, getting them to understand their pains.
For example, they Google a question and your blog post providing the answer appears.
Buyers are trying to understand different methods and solutions for solving their problems, slowly
tapping into solving it.
But they are not ready to find service providers yet.
They just want to know if there are and what solutions can fulfil their needs.
For example:
They know they have an issue with ABC. So they subscribe to ABC Solutions Inc.’s newsletter that educates them on the issue.
At this point, you need to stand out among your competition by knowing your competition and
knowing your audience.
Or hopefully, your prospects know
YOU so well and comfortably that
it’s a no-brainer.
So, to capture and convert clients in the framework explained, you need to:
Build content
Manage leads in a system
Have a conversion system
You should have several channels to nurture your clients, including email marketing (Still the most effective), social media, mobile, support... But personalisation is key. Customers expect personalisation - a growing trend. Email marketing hasn't been knocked down from their winning title as every $1 spent generates $36 (Demand sage). But they're effective when they're personalised. Nurturing clients is an explosive area, further covered in our guide below.
Shouting and waving "We're here! Buy, buy, buy from us!" may convert those who know what they need, are ready to buy, and already familiar and comfortable with buying from you, which is less than 3% of the market - that everyone is trying to get.
Helping a prospect understand what they need, get them ready to buy, and be familiar and comfortable with you at the time of decision would be ideal, wouldn't it? Oh, and also be 97% of the market? That's why businesses need lead generation and conversion systems. Systems to bring in and nurture leads to become sales-ready, and have the team ready and equipped to convert them at the sales call. When you're good at marketing and sales, you're good at this.
Especially in the modern day as technology and AI grows - automation allows businesses to do this efficiently and at scale. 91% of marketing automation users agree it is “very important” to the overall success of their online marketing activities (Invespcro).
Everything is run on automation these days requiring companies to keep up with the marketing demands. Using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) program gives the opportunity to 'manage' customers and leads.
