Convert Those Leads Into Sales Today
If you use a leads generation program, such as the Leads Finder, you are already off to a good start. You got information for not just consumers in general, but consumers within your targeted market. Instead of acquiring a list of nothing but email addresses, you searched the internet with related keywords and found individuals who are in need of what you have to sell. This already puts you a step ahead of other business owners who waste their money on those standard email sales leads lists. But what comes next? Next, you need to covert your sales leads into actual sales.
When it comes to converting a list of sales leads into actual sales, there are some important points you want to keep in mind.
Consumers like it when they receive customized advertisements. Lets say you sell video games online. You searched the internet with or without a leads generation program like the Leads Finder and found a group of individuals. So lets say you got 100 different email addresses. You don’t want to send 100 different personalized messages because that takes too long. What you can do though is group your sales leads into categories and send separate messages to different categories.
In keeping with the video game store example, you have a group of parents who outright say they want cheap video games for their kids. Send all these parents the same message (just copy and paste); your message is something like “We have affordable games at XXXX.com; here is a sample of what is for sale.” Then, you have some individuals who are selling video games, so group them together and then send the “I noticed you were selling your old video games, if you want new games with new challenges checkout our great games including (list examples), at XXXX.com.”
Also, consider the economy. Even though it is starting to improve, lots of consumers are still counting every penny. Many consumers and your sales leads aren’t buying things unless they truly need these things or if they are presented with a discount. While not required, there are benefits to giving your sales leads a coupon to printout (for local sales leads) or a code to be used at an online checkout.
If contacting your sales leads by email, a good subject line is key. The Leads Finder will automatically make a suggestion for you (you can take it or create a new one). Since you are usually replying to a post made online, “In response to your listing on…” works great. These emails are typically opened. As mentioned above, consumers and your sales leads love discounts. If you provide a moneysaving offer inside to lure in sales leads, mention so in the subject line. Consumers typically click on discount offers solely out of curiosity, but they might actually like what you have for sale.
In short, try implementing some of the tips for converting sales leads mentioned above. When properly done and often, you will notice that a good percentage of your sales leads do convert into actual sales.
