4 Key Points in Increasing B2B Sales Conversions
Sometimes marketers would get to thinking that a prospect’s decision to perform an action – say, make a purchase or subscribe to a newsletter – solely depends on that person. The notion is that marketers could only go as far as presenting options and information to prospects, and the rest is up to them. On the contrary, there are things B2B marketers could do to help increase their chances in converting ordinary prospects into sales leads. The very core of lead generation is in the ability to persuade people to commit to something, and this mission entails deep understanding and methodical approaches.

Most of the time in B2B, the process of “extending” the life of sales leads goes even further – especially when the prospect manifests a “soft NO”.

Curation is gaining momentum Right now, online marketers are still creating more content than curating, but as far as lead generation goes, readers are more seemingly attracted with content from other ‘credible’ sources. This is a graph representing the findings of the Curata study: We can see that marketers desire for slightly more curated content generation in 2014, while at the same time taking down a notch for creation of original content. Is it a major change of framework? Then again, it all boils down to your marketing intention.
