Although marketers recognize “click-to-buy” as the most familiar online lead generation approach, this method is rarely valid for most to pursue. A company’s greatest asset is really the present value of its sales pipeline, not merely its present day sales (as a “click-to-buy” strategy suggests).
The pipeline is a company’s lifeblood. In fact, it is the only area for which a marketer can be fully accountable, since they do not have total control over the final sale.
All prospects in their various stages of the buying cycle—awareness, consideration, trial—contribute to the value of your pipeline. Present Pipeline Value is a function of typical close rates for each buying cycle stage and the amount of your average sale in addition to your present day sales.
In designing a lead generation program for your business, ClearGauge starts from this strategic point of view. We create pipeline systems that provide the quantifiable data marketers need to validate their marketing programs with company management.
