Lead Incubation, A Classic
Example
You own a Heating and Air company in Cleveland,
OH and you have massive advertising presence on talk
radio, newspaper, search engines, and television.
Dozens of leads flow in everyday by phone and e-mail
requesting an appointment to replace or repair their
HVAC system. The sales team is elated and does
very well with the leads.
You're
profitable, but it would be nice to be more
profitable.
Let's assume that the typical
salesperson can only convert 40% of the leads into a sale.
What about the other sixty percent? That's right,
they fall through the cracks and are never contacted
again.
A certain percentage of that 60% will
buy from you, they just aren't today. You've paid for the lead
through very expensive advertising, so the conventional wisdom
of most companies simply chalk it up to the cost of
business.
These
leads WILL generate more revenue for
your company.
A lead incubation strategy incubates
the 60% of the leads that did not buy today into future
prospects. It's a proven fact that many of those leads are in
research mode, but they were impressed with your company and
will give you the business, IF you stay in
touch.
