When you hear of lead generation, what comes to mind? Cold-calling… generic mass email mailouts? Well these methods are well and truly dead. With most businesses taking on this outdated approach when generating leads, it’s now more important than ever to break your echo chamber and stand out. Combining a results-proven approach of personalization, creative strategy and automation – a marketing agency in London known as The Brains have developed these lead generation tips needed to soar. As a business owner, this will give you the opportunity to help grow your business in a digital-first world.

Here are their 4 top tips:

Table of Contents

  • 1). Create personas for each type of potential customer
  • 2). Target the right people
  • 3). Develop a content strategy
  • 4). Nurture leads in creative ways

1). Create personas for each type of potential customer

Personas are prospects who have been segmented into target audiences based on their goals, motivations, and lifestyle. We always recommend defining personas before creating any marketing campaign, as this allows you to create campaign assets and messaging that is uniquely designed to appeal to your prospect’s sensibilities.

How to put personas together:

  • Basic profiling information: Age, gender, location
  • Professional information: Job title, seniority, years of experience, career level, sector, industry
  • Personal information: Living situation, kids yes/no, hobbies, interests, causes
  • Motivations: Personal and professional goals and objectives, drives, ambitions and objections

Top tip: Don’t apply more than 3 main personas to any lead generation campaign. It becomes too complicated to manage campaigns with many personas and you can make your targeting too granular, adding cost and complexity to the campaign.

2). Target the right people

Arguably, effective targeting is the single most important part of a lead generation campaign. You need to ensure you are marketing to an interested audience, taking into consideration your persona groups and excluding anyone who does not meet the targeting criteria that you set. You could create highly impactful content, but if you are not showing it to the right audience, they will not convert.

Here are some factors to consider when planning the targeting for each channel:

LinkedInFacebook
SectorAge
IndustryGender
Job TitleLocation
Years in JobRelationship status
InterestsHobbies
GroupsInterests
LocationGroups

Remember that you can also set exclusions based on criteria, as well as manually adding any contacts to the exclusion list that you do not wish to contact, such as existing, lapsed, or previous clients/customers, or competitors.

3). Develop a content strategy

As they say, content is king and so many people don’t get this right in lead generation. It’s important that you define target and persona groups before creating your content strategy. This is because you can’t design impactful content unless you know who you are creating it for. Your lead generation content strategy is intended to: 

  • Attract potential prospects
  • Convince them to exchange their contact details in exchange for information
  • Convert them from leads into sales qualified leads, ready for your sales team to call
  • With your personas and targeting in mind, design content that is likely to appeal to your audience, answer their objections, and appeal to their motivations. We call these lead magnets, an incentive offered to prospects in exchange for their contact information, such as a free PDF download, a report, eBook, whitepaper or video or an anonymous article from The Doe.

Have a think about what sort of topic would be most impactful for your lead magnets – what are your competitors already offering? What sort of information is freely available? If your prospects were to ask you one question about your products or services, what is it likely to be?

Here are some tips to help you design your content strategy:

  1. Create distinct content for each persona group
  2. Provide at least three ad variants per persona so you can test different messaging and quickly update less successful variants or move budget to the best performing ad group
  3. Offer an irresistible asset as your lead magnet, one your prospects can’t get anywhere else and would happily exchange their information for
  4. Each persona group should have its own lead magnet, to maximise engagement with your content
  5. Ensure that your copy and imagery work together in harmony and that the imagery you choose is appropriate in theme and style for your persona group

Have a think about what sort of topic would be most impactful for your lead magnets – what are your competitors already offering? What sort of information is freely available? If your prospects were to ask you one question about your products or services, what is it likely to be?

4). Nurture leads in creative ways

Lead nurturing is the process of keeping leads warm by increasing a prospect’s interaction with your brand. You do this by serving them useful and interesting information, via email. Retaining their interest as they move through your sales funnel is vital, so consider lead nurturing to be one of the most important elements of your lead gen campaign.

Here are some ways to build trust and loyalty through effective lead nurturing:

  • Set up email autoresponders that trigger customised emails which are sent to a lead once they download a certain amount of information, try a product trial, make a purchase or when you have a time-limited offer to promote
  • Be patient – lead nurturing can take anywhere from 1 month to 12 months depending on your purchasing cycle
  • Be consistent – send updates and information at regular intervals; you may not be seeing interactions with this content initially, but it’s quite common for a prospect to take several months to start actively engaging with information you send
  • And most importantly get creative and be interesting – send a variety of information for your prospects to engage with, including blog posts, infographics, video, polls, research, whitepapers, ebooks – anything your persona research tells you will be well received!
