MenuHow can we market our unique lead generation offerings?
Answers
This is a tricky question and a bit hard to follow, just FYI.
My first thought, and I apologize if it sounds rude in any way, is that if you are a lead generation service or can do that, wouldn't you be able to do that for yourself? I am a 10 year veteran marketer and constantly face newbies who try to compare or pitch against us but after running a quick analysis on their platforms and all else, you can tell they struggle even for their own sake.
With that said, it sounds like what you have offers a lot of potential if properly 'packaged.' You obviously need to approach this as a SaaS model where you drive and offer as much value to prospects upfront and come back with the ask once a company has tried it or has encountered enough value to commit to a trial. The product packaging should be addresses in a reverse eningeering appraoch from the product market fit based on your realistic value proposition, value innovation, and the targeted demographic. Once you know who is your potential best client - you would then shape the product and its entire experienced based on them. For this, companies like ours www.Unthink.me - can help you find the right target market and do some basic research to get the demographic started and a go to market strategy.
On your 3rd question, there are many ways of approaching potential clients once you know who they are... from the ever helpful but slow to kick in SEO, to the quick and scalable Google PPC, to growth hacking is possible or inbound through blogging and content creation.
If you would like to some help or have any other questions please don't hesitate to message me.
I am in the business of lead generation and I know a lot of businesses and entrepreneurs are always in search of better systems to fill the pipeline with prospects.
I highly recommend joining marketing Facebook groups and feature your product using a video to show the respected members what your product is all about.
I am a member of the best rated marketing facebook groups, I am positive I can help you in showcase your product.
When it comes to marketing a new offering, I usually encourage clients to think in "customerese."
What do your clients usually ask you for? Instead of translating it into the gobbledy-gook you usually use to describe it, keep it raw. People use those phrases ("find me some leads, please") because that's how they prefer to communicate their needs. That's what they'll probably be saying online, too.
Now, you're a BI firm, so you probably can learn very quickly on your own the who, where, and when of the audience. Conduct some BI analyses of the above phrases to discover where they appear most and which of those spots you can best help.
Reaching out depends on the who, where, and when. I'd be glad to discuss some strategies if you have this figured out.

How do I get people to subscribe to my email newsletter?
I would seriously consider launching a blog and posting content of the same type to the blog, in abundance. Then add a popup box to the blog to collect email addresses. Post daily blog posts about topics related to your blog and your newsletter. If you do this consistently, over time, you will build up traffic to your blog and also get people entering their email into your popup. This is the free way to do it...EW

What is the industry average conversion rate for cold emailing?
Cold emailing is just as bad for you and the recipient. Even if you have the perfect list, the attempt to sell in a cold email is rarely going to be effective. You're better off curating the list to the top prospects, find a mutual connection on LinkedIn or even just cold-invite them on LinkedIn,. Worst case scenario, send a 'permission pass' email where you simply gauge interest and let them know you won't be emailing them again if there's no interest. Keep it very short, non-commercial with just solid information/links to web, and an easy to reply yes/no answer.BI

How effective is Referral Key for generating leads?
Not totally clear on what you are asking, but if the questions is; does giving out a referral code to an existing user in hopes that they would refer another work? My experience (largely in B2B software) is not all that well, at least not without some sort of incentive. Even if your user is super satisfied with the product/service you are providing, simply giving them a code to give another person doesn't necessarily drive them to make the handoff. Now, two things. First, if you either incentivize the existing user with say a discount on his next bill or a free goodie, then he'll be more likely to do it... Even better, if you do that, plus give the referred user some kind of benefit, like a discount on his first bill, free trial or other goody, then it can work rather well. Second, all that said, know that referrals in general are gold. You should test and do whatever you can to get referrals. Generally @Leads360 we found that providing really high quality customer service (more so than even the best product) lead to referrals. To that point, our sales people worked in tandem with customer service in this way. Whenever a CS person realized they gave a great customer experience they would let the sales person know and they would then reach out to that customer while still warm from the nice touch and simply ASK for a referral. I was always surprised when we could get referrals simply by asking. I like to stick with 1 referral at a time, just ask for 1 person to be email connected with, don't overwhelm them with the statement "hey, can you refer your friends and colleagues to us", be specific. Something like "I see on LinkedIn you're connected with John B from ACME corp, I'd really like to speak with him about our product, would be willing to make an introduction for me".JS
