 "Revenue grows on leads, fished from engagement and mined from profile information."

 #1 Build a lead nurturing program
You just can't just willy-nilly wish a lead to nurture itself. It takes sustained publicity and patience. Your lead nurturing programs should include:
  • Webinars
  • PR
  • Blogs
  • Events and conference.
Store your marketing collateral in a centralized document management system so that every team member can have access it when needed.

 #2 Take advantage of direct mail
Direct mail is not on the wane, yet. However, being personal is the key here. Send customized
  • Mailers
  • (birthday/anniversary) postcards
  • Conference invitations 
  • Coupon codes
  • Discount schemes
  • Referral benefits etc.

 #3 Email Email Email
Again, with the help of email templates in your CRM platform, send (actionable) mailers. The scope is much larger (and better) than direct mail.
You can send

 #4 Talk OTP (Over The Phone)
Despite the pervasive reach of social media, voice conversations still holds sway. Why? 

 Because it brings a human touch.

Other Tips:
  • Build a great first impression. Research about your prospect, find out what's troubling them/the industry and then talk about how your brand can help.
  • Follow up with collateral which are informational/educational. Avoid sales jargons (remember,patience).
  • People will lap up anything labelled FREE. Entice them with FREE trials with full features (recommended).
  • Fast track them with acquisition campaigns taken over from free trials. This should include Call to Action(s).
  • Even after they have signed up as customers, re-engage them with great after sale service, regular feedback surveys, sending new product releases.
