Of course, it depends on what you are selling, but common sense tells you that B2B leads for a complex sale (that are worth a sales rep’s time) are probably going to cost more than $200. Leads from these sources, most of which will land in a black hole , all cost more than the PointClear qualified and nurtured leads.

I’ve read and heard (from a well-known industry analyst firm) that best-in-class companies close 30% of sales qualified leads while average companies close 20%. Sales isn’t qualifying down from 1000 marketing qualified leads to 14 sales qualified leads. The sales close rate on these leads is zero percent. What a waste.

I spend a lot of time on the phone every day, talking to sales and marketing leaders—including prospects. I’m often asked what kind of companies PointClear serves. What they have in common are complex sales processes, and the need for outbound account-based marketing services that generate high-quality leads for sales.

I once worked with the then SVP, Marketing of a large public company who was frustrated with sales. At one point he got so angry that he offered sales management the following choices for spending a $100,000 budget to generate leads. For details on how sales should follow-up on a lead click here. Big surprise. None of the above.

One of PointClear’s business development representatives, working on behalf of a global software company, made 11 touches (calls, voicemails and emails) and his persistence paid off. As an example, PointClear targets two contacts within each account location. He landed a huge lead for our client (with a $1 billion company).

The lower level employee that downloaded the content is likely the last person you want to start a sales cycle with. Finally, the lead definition was being driven by the objective to reduce cost per lead and not by the objective of providing real value to sales. They both sold relatively expensive software solutions.

Just try to pass them on to your field sales team and you’ll see. Because the chances are pretty low—probably 3% to 4% at best—that any of these names are bonafide opportunities if you are a B2B company with a complex sales process. Sales won’t spend the time it takes to cull through 100 so-called leads for 3 to 4 good ones.
