In the current economic climate, it is more important than ever to generate high-quality leads for your business. If you are finding that your sales team is not bringing in prospective customers, it is probably a good time to review your lead generation strategy.

Here are three of our top suggestions.

1. Look at your content marketing

47% of prospective customers view three to five pieces of content before engaging with a salesperson (Demand Gen Report) This means that it’s more important than ever to consider the entire marketing mix and how it can help your sales team.

Look at your website, blog, social media and advertising and see how it can complement your lead generation techniques and help your prospective customers to convert.

2. Play the long game when it comes to lead generation

According to Forbes, less than 10% of leads convert first time. This means that you need to play the long game when it comes to lead generation and factor in additional time for your leads to turn into sales.
