MenuWhat should be my strategy to close interests and leads?
My current company has worked on a product that connects tutors and student/parents on one platform and allows them to have one to one live streaming sessions/group classes. The company aims to pitch the same product to different verticals like doctors/lawyers/financial advisors etc. We have a dedicated marketing team to generate leads by PPC campaign. My question is what should be my approach to close them? What documents or collaterals I should keep handy?

First of all, it sounds like you have a great idea with a positive impact.
To your question:
Make sure to include a chat option in whatever page you have clicked-through from your PPC. In addition, what information are you able to capture on your landing page (that I presume clicks through)? I'd highly recommend including a phone number. Whatever info you do capture, make sure to follow up as soon as possible (within 10 minutes ideally). I'm happy to share more next steps from here.
The ideal scenario is where you define the role and objective of each conversation.
For example, your PPC leads would lead into a conversation around a value proposition looking to solve one very real problem (need or interest) for a specific vertical among those options.
When that conversation occurs, and you come out having provided what they were looking for, then you can invite them into a deeper engagement, which may be to open a trial membership for a set period of time.
Once they do that, you can engage with them mid-way through their trial to get their impressions, and measure whether they are likely to become a full paid member.
After that, you engage through onboarding and making sure everything goes smoothly.
This is a stair-step model to take people from barely knowing about you, and ease them into becoming a paid client.
Hi I am a strategic consultant and run a corporate training company . There should be a process that should be followed to close the leads generated by the Marketing team . The documentation plays very important role as it defines the depth of the company .Keep the process of registration simple and easy as that would be the initial interaction of the clients on the portal . Second , make the payment process simple and easy . The collaterals should have details on the solution offerings and commercials for the online engagement and differenciator to other competitor sites. There could be more strategies that could be applied to launch a successful site and ask specific questions to have sales closure . We could define a specific sales process to increase the possibility of closure . We could have a call to discuss the sales process and define path for faster closure.

How do you build a structured sales process for a digital agency that works with Enterprise Ecommerce Clients?
Yes, a consistent sales process is vital so that you know where you are. You also want to know why you lost some orders and won others--I was over a decade into my career before I realized I had no idea why. And that's what lead to the change. You need to understand your numbers. You need to know what the process steps are, and how to proceed to the next one--or let the opportunity die if it should (hint: if you're trying to turn every prospect into a client, you're doing it wrong.) And you must have your fulfillment process dialed in, which at present with the description of murky data-gathering and pricing it sounds like you do not.

How do I generate leads for an outsourcing service?
I'd recommend attending trade shows and conferences focused on the tech industry. Another great option would be running a Facebook Ad campaign targeting organizations who best represent your ideal client. You can also try LinkedIn Sales Navigator and cold emails to cultivate your b2b leads. Any of these are viable methods for lead generation. It's best to try each one and see what results you get.RJ

Is cold mailing/calling dead?
I don't think they're dead - but changing communication trends have created new challenges. Calling someone on their cell phone is considered rude and people are increasingly ignoring their office phones. As for email, we are inundated with an ever increasing load in email - making cold emailing less and less effective. But the deeper question is "Is Cold Prospecting Dead". To that, I give an emphatic 'no'. Seasoned sales professionals like to prattle on about how its relationships, referrals, and the art of the pitch/close... but only because they've forgotten how hard it is to get the machine running. Aaron Ross' predictable revenue is a modified version of traditional prospecting. People have to become specialized, disciplined, and rely on tools to help you be more efficient. But the underlying concept holds true: In absence of higher yielding lead sources, cold prospecting is superior to doing nothing. If you believe that principal, then you do *everything* you can to grow sales that is *NOT* cold prospecting... but the key is to 'grow sales'. In absence of any more effective method/technique, get back on the phones and email and become a student of prospecting. Maybe the better answer is "Cold Prospecting is Dead for those that don't learn how to do it in today's changing environment" Pro Tip: Communicating through LinkedIn, Twitter, and other online channels is still cold prospecting. Setting up tools like Cadence to handle your prospecting emails is still cold emailing... just more evolved versions of them :)NH
