Inbound Marketing Helps Your Website Deliver Higher Quality Leads

Often sales and marketing teams are understaffed, and under pressure to produce results. There are difficulties interpreting marketing report data and breakdowns in communication lead to disconnects with senior staff.

Did you know that inbound marketing can help you deal with these issues?

Soon you will be able to turn your website into a source of high quality leads that are fully qualified.

Why website leads are often poor quality

The typical lifecycle of a website generated lead goes as follows:

• Customer leaves an enquiry on a website and wants more information on symptoms of a problem they’re experiencing.
• The lead is passed onto a sales person.
• The sales person contacts the lead, and finds out the lead doesn't really know what he wants and can’t close the lead on a sale, let alone a meeting.
• The sales person tells marketing the lead was a poor quality lead.

The truth is the lead wanted more information. They were not ready or receptive to being closed, and needed to be nurtured not sold. The reality is that salespeople aren’t typically nurturers. That’s where a marketing team with a solid inbound marketing strategy comes into play.

The magic of inbound marketing

Inbound marketing helps you attract your ideal audience to your website through blog posts and social posts. You convert these visitors into leads through a quality content offer such as an eBook or whitepaper, which speaks to the audience’s pain points. Potential leads are then taken to a landing page, where they can fill out a form and download the desired content.

Following this, you nurture these leads into fully fledged customers by sending them more relevant content, which when done right, turns them into sales-ready leads. Once the lead is a customer, you continue to delight them with related content that can shift them into promoters for your brand.

HubSpot and website design go hand-in-hand
