Eeeeehhh … not so fast

No. You don’t need more leads.

We understand where you’re coming from. Hell, we’ve all been there! Your marketing operations are expected to feed your sales pipeline; therefore, you need leads.

After all, generating more leads surely means that marketing will be able to support business growth, right? Right!?

As counterintuitive as it may sound, not really.

When less is more

We hear it almost daily in our discovery calls; a leading cause of tension between sales and marketing is the MQL/SQL misalignment. In some cases, marketing teams feed their SDRs with buttloads of marketing-qualified leads, and nothing else happens.

  • Common reason: Sales reps don’t have time to follow up with all inbound and outbound contacts.
  • The real reason: SDRs will deprioritize MQLs because the gap with SQLs is simply too significant and focus on leads they sourced themselves.

Yes, your sales team wants more leads…

… but not just any leads. They want leads that won’t require a mountain of work to close. They need ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) leads. 

We fix that by:

  • Running qualitative customer research to (re)define our customers’ ICP and ensure we only focus our efforts on highly relevant people and companies.
  • Challenging their positioning and value proposition; does the way they see themselves match their ICPs?
  • Optimizing their brand and messaging: is their messaging resonating with their ICP customers?

In other words, we won’t give you more leads; we can help you craft a banger marketing strategy to generate ICP leads. Quality over quantity.

“Advance B2B helped us clarify our ICP. As a result, we were also able to clarify our positioning and redefine our messaging. That has given us a solid foundation to explore different things further in all the marketing channels that we’ll be using from now on!”

Generate demand, not leads

AB2B_COLORED_IMAGES_workfile01-web

Generating demand beats generating leads. Every time.

The difference may sound trivial to non-expert ears, but there’s a fundamental difference between the two:

  • Generating leads is about numbers. In fact, many marketing partners like to evaluate the success of their actions by reporting only on lead counts. We don’t like it. And this is not how we do it.
  • Demand generation is not just about capturing leads. It’s about creating interest in your products or services. It involves nurturing prospects through various stages of the buyer's journey, ensuring they are well-informed and genuinely interested in what you offer.

Lead generation is a marketing tactic of the past; it worked for a while, and it quickly showed its limits, as mentioned above. The world is evolving and so should the way we do marketing.

To make a long story short, the answer to your problem is simple: say no to BS marketing.

How we achieved over 100% growth in revenue for Virta

When it comes to digital marketing—like SEO, SEA, content marketing, web development, and Hubspot knowledge—Advance B2B brings the expertise that we’re lacking. They also bring a fresh pair of eyes and ideas from outside of our industry. I especially appreciate our communication and the sprint agile model way of working. As a client, I feel very taken care of."
