Lead Generation in 30-60-90 Days

Overview

Working with an agency to fuel your lead and demand generation funnel should result in an immediate and measurable return.

SmartAcre® incorporates the right mix of strategy and implementation to generate results for our clients within the first 30 days of working together. Here is an example of how SmartAcre helped an accounts payable automation solution increase its lead volume and create sales opportunities during the first 30-60-90 days of the engagement.

Challenge

In February 2017, SmartAcre partnered with a niche accounts payable automation company to streamline and accelerate their lead and demand generation efforts. Historically, the organization faced challenges in incorporating strategy and implementation to generate leads and nurture them to MQLs. With lofty lead, MQL, SQL, and opportunity goals in mind, this organization needed SmartAcre to add bandwidth and build an inbound marketing framework that utilized marketing automation, paid advertising, content marketing, and other tactics to increase online visibility and convert website visitors to opportunities.

Approach

To immediately do more with HubSpot and utilize the existing lead database, SmartAcre launched a re-engagement campaign in March. The goal of the campaign was to drive existing leads (excluding customers and opportunities) to re-engage with the client by viewing a piece of content. This allowed us to understand the quality of the database, remove contacts who were no longer active, and “shake up” anyone who might still be interested in making a purchase. We expected the click-through rates to be fairly low, given the prospects we were emailing, but both the click and open rates exceed our initial goal.

 

Nexus results

 

The overall workflow moved 42 contacts further down the sales funnel. Most importantly, the client received one direct response, asking for an immediate proposal for a large opportunity.

Other lead and demand gen tactics SmartAcre provided include:

  • Content marketing through Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook increased social referrals by 43% percent within the first 30 days.
  • On-page SEO updates, such as changing the homepage title tag, improved search traffic by 27% in the first 30 days.
  • Consulted and managed paid ad campaigns on LinkedIn, AdWords, Capterra, and Software advice to reduce the average total cost per conversion by 58% within 90 days.
