Digital marketing outsourcing isn’t just for the marketing department — it’s also extremely beneficial for sales teams.
As sales departments are likely aware, lead generation can take many forms. And one of those forms is digital marketing.
You might consider:
- Utilizing LinkedIn Enterprise services to solicit prospects.
- Posting regular discussions in LinkedIn Groups.
- Posting regular discussions in Facebook Groups.
- Maintaining your own LinkedIn profile.
- Building active personal presences on other social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter.
- Starting and maintaining a LinkedIn Pulse blog.
- Running paid ads on search engines and in social media.
- Connecting online with conference organizers, trade shows, and other participants post-show.
- Building and maintaining a sales funnel that walks prospects through the buyers’ journey.
- Sending out a regular email newsletter to your contact list to keep them up-to-date with what’s happening at your company and opportunities.
- And more…
The trouble is that all of this activity can take up a lot your time and resources — especially if you use other lead generation activities, like attending meetings with prospects, attending trade shows, making cold calls or cold visits, etc. And if you take a vacation or get sick, your prospecting activities could fall by the wayside.
The solution? Digital marketing outsourcing.
By working with an external digital marketing agency, you can set a strategy for your sales prospecting and rest assured that it will be executed. For instance, an agency partner could:
- Identify targets on LinkedIn and send out pre-approved solicitations.
- Work with you on topics and then create content for your LinkedIn Pulse blog or personal social media profiles.
- Post, moderate, and maintain any content you share.
- Post and moderate Facebook and LinkedIn groups.
- Help develop a sales funnel strategy.
- Maintain posting while you are at a sales conference or trade show so you can focus on the people in front of you.
- And more.
With this method, you would keep (or even increase) your lead generation activities for a fraction of your time. You could receive only the most primed leads and prospects, so you can focus on closing the deal.
