Balancing Quantity and Quality in Lead Generation


For businesses looking for profit, lead generation must be a balance between quality and quantity. This is why before staging an appointment with the lead generation company for their lead generation services it is vital that you must make a careful consideration of what you think should be the perfect mix of the number of leads you want to come into your company and its quality.

Businessmen who are novice at doing lead generation via online means often make the mistake of assuming that all online leads are good quality leads thus are deceived by lead generation companies into paying for leads they will probably never be able to convert into sales. One of the best ways to balance quantity and quality in online lead generation is to set the parameters for qualified leads. For
example, if you are a company selling shoes, you may impose a way of qualifying leads that will come in
from your website. You may set the rule that shoe stores are qualified leads and will pay for the leads
and appointments with their company representatives. Clothing stores that carry a small selection of shoes may also be a qualified lead, but at a lower rank than shoe stores. You can negotiate for a different fee for this type of lead. Stores that only sell bags are definite unqualified leads.

So before you are taken in by a lead generation company that will tell you that he can give you 1,000
leads from your website within 10 days, ask that company as to the quality of the lead. Remember, you
don’t just need leads, you need leads that you could convert to sales.
