MTOTW #43: Deliberate lead nurture programs, as part of an inbound marketing strategy, are essential to sales. As we mentioned in a previous video, nurtured leads make 47% larger purchases than non-nurtured leads. The two biggest keys to reaching those prospects? Persistence and speed.
In 2007 it took 3-4 cold call attempts to reach a prospect. Today it takes 8-10. And 80% of sales require as many as 5 follow-up calls after the initial meeting. Despite this, 44% of salespeople give up after just 1 call. Consistent yet varied outreach in the form of calls, voicemails, and emails will help you close deals.
