A complete guide to lead management (with strategies and examples)

Leads are the lifeblood of every business, and the generation of these integral players is typically the primary focus when deciding which tactics to bring into action. Of course, these decisions require deliberation based on insights, behaviors and trends.  

However, prompting a lead to entering your sales funnels is not always conducive with a conversion. So, how does one bridge the gap between generation and conversion? The solution is having a solid lead management. 

This article gives you an understanding of the nature of lead management and the processes and strategies that accompany it. We’ll also explore five of the best lead management software that your business can implement to increase acquisition.

This includes tools that can make that happen via automation, such as:

What is lead management?

Lead management is the process that is used by businesses to connect with prospects and convert them into paying customers. This can be done through a variety of targeted strategies and tools specifically designed for the management of leads.  

As a rule of thumb, a business’s success increases along with lead volume. However, this brings the challenge of maintaining control. For instance, approximately 79% of leads never convert.

General issues include lead leakage, lack of consistency and inefficient follow-up systems. That’s why implementing lead management practices is a must.

A robust lead handling system offers businesses the opportunity to successfully capture, nurture, qualify and distribute leads to respective departments. This allows you to adequately prime users for conversions. Without the right tools, however, this is virtually impossible. 

Why is lead management important?

Generating leads is resource-heavy. It requires running campaigns on multiple channels which means orchestrating multi-faceted, informed strategies. An effective management plan is necessary to make sure those efforts are not wasted and opportunities are maximized. 

Now, let’s take a closer look at the five key benefits of lead management below.  

1. Focusing on leads with high quality

Lead qualification is a fundamental step within the lead management process. It helps you identify qualified leads and segment them based on the attributions that are considered favorable. 

Sieving through leads lets you concentrate on high-value leads and maximize sales opportunities. Advertising platforms also incentify these efforts by making your ads cheaper down the line. 

2. Getting the most out of your ad spend

Knowing which platforms offer the best generation opportunity for your business is important. This means no more losing money on platforms that have little to no return and wasting time on redundant activities. 

This knowledge allows you to switch your attention to specific channels, build campaigns that are best suited to these platforms and fund them accordingly.  

If budgeting is something you are just noticing, you can learn everything you need to know about online ad costs here. 

3. Offering better experience to your potential leads

The data generated from lead management can be leveraged for offering better offers and even more effective UX. For instance, offering educational material that is highly in demand by your potential leads. 

This can be used to prompt them towards an informed purchasing decision, particularly with prospects who are still on the fence. You can use lookalike audiences to target people who are similar to your previous buyers. 

This again, requires you to build continuous data transfer bridges between your CRM to, say, Meta or LinkedIn.

Learn more about LinkedIn Matched Audiences, and Meta’s custom audiences if this is something you are considering. 

4. Increase marketing and sales productivity

Having a knowledge of your lead quality allows you to prioritize them. This means focusing your communications on the most suitable leads, which are then passed to the sales team at the most opportune time. 

This series of events increases the likelihood of achieving conversions and enhances overall sales productivity. Meta, for instance, offers tools like Conversion leads optimization, which is a performance goal that channels your campaigns toward higher quality leads. 

Step-by-step guide to lead management process

Having established the value lead management provides, you may now be asking, how does lead management work? 

It consists of five main processes that your business is recommended to follow. Here’s a step-by-step overview.   

1. Lead capturing

It all starts with making the first contact with your lead, which is called lead capturing. Then, you’ll need to collect their data and use them to push them down your marketing funnel and inspire conversions. 

This can be done by embedding a lead capture form within your advertising or website. Or, it could be assigning call-to-action buttons to prompt leads towards a desired action. 

This of course requires you to have the right tools and an interconnected data technology stack to collect and segment your data for the next step.

Once a user completes the form, or clicks the CTA and is brought to the designated page, they can submit their personal details and be added to your database. Having automated data bridges in place, their data is automatically synced into your CRM or follow ups.

To create a robust lead capture system, you should consider taking the following steps:

• Define the lead capture objective 

The first step in creating a lead capture system that works for your business is to understand how it fits into your sales funnel. Within the sales funnel, there are three stages: awareness, consideration, and conversion.

Once you are clear about the objective, the next step is to determine what your lead generation offer is.

• Consider lead magnets

Using lead magnets to entice your leads toward an action, be it a subscription or sign-up to avail of an offer. These are made available in exchange for contact information and can be placed on your website or social media channels. 

Lead magnets can be ebooks, content upgrades, checklists, cheat sheets, swipe files, resource lists, free tools, etc. Give them the offer in exchange for their contact information.

Take a look at how Optin Monster uses this tactic.

The lead magnet that you offer should be relative to a user’s stage within the sales funnel.

• Create a captivating page

When you have determined which lead magnets you intend to include, you can begin to create a visually captivating and easy to navigate to design lead capture page. It is important this page is well designed, as it must convince users to engage with your magnet. 

For some inspiration, take a look at this lead capture page extracted from the LeadsBridge Complete Guide to Lead Management ebook.

Studying this example, you can clearly notice that it includes a captivating title, sharp CTA, clear image of the book and description of what the user will receive after downloading, as well as a concise instruction on how to get it.

• Automate your lead capture system

As your business develops, your lead volume will grow. This means that you will have a decreased ability to manually manage your lead capture system. Therefore, you may be wondering how to manage leads effectively? 

The answer to this is automation, which will be especially true if your businesses uses Facebook lead ads, LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, TikTok Lead Generation, or Google Ads to generate leads.

LeadsBridge cuts out the manual tedium of inputting leads into your CRM, giving you the opportunity to place your focus where it is needed most by employing integrations that automate a wealth of actions. These integrations include, but are not limited to, the following;

2. Lead tracking

Lead tracking refers to the monitoring of lead activities, from the initial touch all the way through to the sale. This allows you to manage and track the entirety of your marketing channels, be it blogs or social media campaigns. 

Tracking informs you as to where exactly your leads are coming from, enabling you to appropriate your budget to the best channels. 

These leads can be inbound, from organic search, form fills, etc., or outbound, from email campaigns, display ads, direct mail etc.

Employing lead tracking practices helps achieve the following;

• Gauge how close a lead is to completing a purchase, which helps to create processes that promptly push them toward the conversion. 
• Avoid losing leads along the sales funnel
• Make pipeline projections using data that has been collected via tracking
• Fine-tune your marketing campaigns to place greater focus on strategies that drive results.

There are three ways that you can organize your lead tracking process, which include; 

• Source

Leads can be sourced from a variety of places, including social media campaigns, blog content, banner ads, etc. This source reveals important information about the user, such as what type of content they find most engaging. 

Organizing your lead tracking according to the source gives you the opportunity to understand which platform and marketing campaigns are most valuable for your business. 

•  Location within the sales cycle

Every lead will be at a different stage of the buying process. Some may be at the awareness stage searching for information about the product, and others will be lingering in the consideration stage, looking for different solutions to their problems. 

Depending on their location within the cycle, each lead will have a unique and specific set of nurturing needs. This can also be dependent by which source the lead has originated from, or what lead magnet prompted the submission of their information.

For example, it is safe to assume that a lead in the consideration stage may need guides, webcasts, and videos in order to help them make an informed buying decision. Therefore, as they enter your funnel, it is imperative that you begin to nurture them with this type of content. 

Take a look at this LeadsBridge example. 

Our blog page offers a list of webinar replays that can be accessed by users at any time. These replays would be suited to leads within the consideration stage of the sales funnel. 

When a prospect clicks on a webinar, they are directed to a landing page where they can submit their information and register to access the webinar. This page also features a teaser that encourages the lead to request a demo with our team experts, which can help them to solidify their purchasing decision. 

If the lead decides to click on the demo request, they will be directed to a landing page that allows them to input their personal details and schedule this demo. On this same page, we feature client testimonials from satisfied customers, encouraging users to engage with our product.  

• Number of interactions

You can also organize your leads according to the number of interactions that they have had with your business. A visitor may visit your website once, others may come again and again to view different content. 

For instance, assuming two visitors come to your website and download a free ebook. The first lead did not return immediately but the second lead returned to view more content. 

These two leads, although they came at the same time, should be tracked differently because of the number of touches that they have had.

3. Lead qualification

In reality, not every person that displays an interest in your product or service will decide to purchase from you immediately. According to studies, only between 10-15% of leads reach the bottom of the sales funnel.In reality, not every person that displays an interest in your product or service will decide to purchase from you immediately. That’s why leads need to be appropriately qualified. 

Lead qualification is how you measure if someone who’s shown interest in your business is actually ready to take the next step and make a purchase. It usually starts when a potential customer shares their info through a form or sign-up. 

From there, your marketing team takes a closer look to see if this person fits the profile of your ideal customer, aka, your target audience. 

Using the right sales lead tools can significantly improve your lead management process. This means establishing better insights, automation, and organization to your lead tracking and qualification efforts.

The benefits of this practice include:

• Improvement in the efficiency of sales 
• Reducing resources spent on unqualified leads
• Creating personalized promotion for leads who are ready to purchase

Now that you have developed an understanding of lead qualification, you can begin to learn exactly how to qualify these leads.

How to qualify leads

All leads are unique. Some have a simple qualification process and others may be a tad more complex. This is why establishing a system that helps the qualification process is a must.

These are the five frameworks that can be used to qualify your leads;  

1. BANT

BANT is an acronym for budget, authority, needs, and timeline. This takes into account:

• The budget of the prospect
• Prospect’s authority to make a buying decision
• Their needs for the product
• If they are ready to make a purchase

The BANT system of lead qualification is especially useful if your business sells expensive products or services. Consider that not all prospects will have the ability to engage with your price point.

2. CHAMP

CHAMP (challenges, authority, money, and prioritization) focuses on challenges that the lead faces and assesses and if your product/service will solve them. 

This becomes important when leads do not possess a full understanding of your product. So your prospect’s challenges are integral to understanding if your product is a suitable fit. It also helps the sales team to quickly filter out leads and optimize their pitch.

3. MEDDIC

MEDDIC stands for metrics, economic buyer, decision criteria, decision process, pain point identification, and champion. 

This system is great for businesses that sell high ticket products but deal with a lower number of leads. Mostly because collecting all of this information for each lead can be considerably time consuming. 

4. ANUM

ANUM (authority, need, urgency, and money) is similar to BANT, but arranged in a distinct order. The ANUM system of lead qualification focuses more on the decision-making authority of the buyer, while the buyer takes the back seat.

This is great for B2B businesses that do not have a clearly defined purchase process. First, they should determine who holds the power to finalize a buying decision.

5. FAINT

FAINT, an acronym for funds, authority, interest, need, and timing, focuses on the lead’s budget and their role in making a buying decision. Additionally, it considers the interest and need of the prospect. This helps the sales team to determine whether or not the prospect is interested in the offer.

You can choose any system that helps qualify your leads and make a decision on whether or not to move the prospect down the sales funnel. Following that, your qualified leads will generally show the following attributes:

• Correctly answer your questions about their needs 
• Express interest in your product/service
• Have an understanding of how your product/service can benefit them
• Understand whether or not they can afford your product
• Show the potential to make a buying decision in the near future
• Share similarities with your previous and current customers

To learn more about lead qualification, take a look at our marketing qualified leads and sales qualified leads posts.

4. Lead nurturing

96% of visitors who visit a website are not ready to commit to a purchase. Although this figure may seem somewhat discouraging, there are steps that you can take to counteract it. Enters lead nurturing. 

Lead nurturing is the process of sending relevant, engaging content to leads and customers at different levels of the sales funnel. Here are some stats that show why lead nurturing is important:

• Lead nurturing can help you generate 50% more sales-ready leads while actually spending 33% less. 
• Leads that are nurtured tend to make purchases that are 47% higher in value. When people trust your brand, they’re more willing to invest in what you offer.
• Nurturing emails get four to ten times more responses than one-off email blasts.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some nurturing strategies that can be easily implemented to drive conversions and increase your sales. 

1. Segment your email list

One common mistake marketers make is lumping leads into a basket and distributing the exact same content to each of them. General emails are of absolutely no value to subscribers, and doing this is a surefire way to boost your subscription levels.  

Instead, engage in email segmentation and begin to send targeted emails that are aligned with your subscribers position within the sales funnel. 

Email segmentation can improve your open rates, click-through rates, and conversions. For instance, segmentation brought about a 760% increase in revenue for the companies that employed this technique, with personalized subject lines alone increasing the open rate by 26%.  

You can segment your list according to;

• The content subscribers download from your website
• A subscriber’s position in the sales funnel
• The pages subscribers visits on your website
• The subscribers that did not open your emails
• The subscribers that reply to your emails

Take a look at how Self-Care Society used segmentation based on pages that subscriber visited in their follow-up email

2. Use email marketing automation

Email marketing automation basically sends emails to leads and customers based on triggers. Using automation is an effective way to instantly engage with your leads and swiftly move them down the sales funnel. 

Automated emails generate 320% more revenue than non-automated ones, mostly because timing, relevance, and personalization make all the difference.

Triggers for your automated emails can be incoming submitted forms, call-to-action clicks, page views, etc. Once the user takes the action, they will automatically be added to the workflow and begin receiving email communications based on the pre-set triggers.

For maximum efficacy, you can connect all your automated emails to your conversion paths, including social media ads. LeadsBridge offers integrations for Facebook leads ads, LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms ads, TikTok Lead Generation, and Google Ads Lead Forms extensions. 

You can also integrate your preferred CRM and your autoresponders with your social media platforms. Doing so lets you nurture leads as soon as they enter your sales funnel.  

3. Use multi-channel lead nurturing

The most popular method of lead nurturing is email marketing. However, spam filters on emails and expired email lists would reduce its efficiency. To bypass these issues, it’s best to implement a multi-channel nurturing system. 

These channels include:

• Dynamic website content

Dynamic content means creating personalized content for each of your users. For instance, if they browse a page on your website, use retargeting ads on social media to bring them back.

• Mobile marketing automation

According to Statista, mobile accounts for over half of the web traffic worldwide. For this reason, it is non-negotiable that you add mobile devices to your lead nurturing campaign. You can use these to send SMS communications directly to your lead.

• Social media

Engage with your leads by posting relevant content on your social media channels. You can also send relevant messages through Facebook messenger as the need arises.

4. Use lead scoring strategies

Lead scoring is the process of ranking leads based on a scale that represents their value to your business. Effective lead scoring can have a direct impact on your business by increasing your revenue. 

Most marketing automation platforms allow you to score your leads by assigning numbers to conversion events, social media interactions, or website browsing behaviors. 

The score will show you which leads you need to directly follow-up with, the leads that need more nurturing, and those that you can discard.

5. Lead distribution

Lead distribution is about assigning leads to various sales teams. This will enable you to match leads with the right sales team that has the correct abilities and experiences to handle them. 

Lead distribution can be automatic or manual. Either way, it involves gathering leads from different sources, be it social media, events, emails etc. 

Engaging in lead distribution can help to achieve the following;

• Reducing the response time by your sales team. This is imperative as leads are most likely to interact with those who contact them first.
• Setting up a consistent stream of high-quality leads and only distributing qualified leads to your sales reps.
• Precise targeting so that your sales team can offer better and more personalized experiences.
• Simplifying your ROI attribution to the leads that generate the most revenue.

Here’s how to distribute leads: Generate leads and deliver them automatically.

You will need an automated system to capture the leads as they sign up for your email list. This is done by connecting your marketing tools to your CRM via automated data bridges. 

LeadsBridge offers an email notification tool that can be integrated with your chosen CRM or autoresponder. This ensures that you get alerts directly to your inbox as soon as leads come in.

•  Qualify your leads

Since you have qualified your leads before they get to distribution, it is time to filter out leads that do not align with your goals and focus on those that are ready to convert. This ensures that only qualified prospects are distributed to the sales team.

• Determine where to distribute the leads

Now that you have high-quality leads at hand, you can begin to distribute them to the right sales representatives. In order to do this, you need to consider the experience, expertise, and availability of the team members.

• Use different lead distribution methods to determine the best fit

There are a number of different lead distribution methods to choose from, including:

a) The round robin method automatically sends new leads to all sales team members at once.

b) The cherry pick method allows sales reps to choose the leads they are most comfortable with pursuing.

c) The shark tank method notifies all the members of a sales team when a new lead enters the funnel, and the first person to respond acquires the lead.

Top lead management strategies

Businesses need a lead management strategy before taking any action. This will help to decipher what source your leads are coming from, how to score and nurture them and eventually reach conversions. 

Let’s take a closer look at some of the lead management best practices that your business can employ. 

•  Use various lead generation content

Most online businesses use a single form of lead generation content, which is typically an e-book or whitepaper. However, to stand out from competitors, consider adding to the mix of your content. 

For instance, add video content to your strategy, in order to enhance the user’s experience and use a video editor to create engaging and high-quality video content. Additionally, you can add interactive content to your website in order to increase engagement.

•  Integrate your management platform with a third-party app

Leads are more likely to convert when contacted within minutes after submitting their details. It is a lead management best practice to contact prospects immediately after they opt-in to receive your communication. This will help you to sustain their interest in your products/services. 

Prompt follow-ups also make it easier to nurture and convert users to customers. Best way is to implement automation. Leadsbridge offers several integrations designed for lead generation platforms, such as Meta lead ads, LinkedIn lead generation ads, TikTok Lead Generation ads, and Google lead form ads.

With LeadsBridge, you can integrate these platforms with your favorite CRM, so as soon as leads come in, they are funneled automatically to your database.

• Clean up your contact database

Every year, some data that exists within your CRM goes bad. This can happen for a variety of reasons like your contacts changing their emails, getting new telephone numbers, job changes, and more.  

This is also why you need to regularly clean up your database as part of your lead management strategy, since outdated contact information can lead to failure in your marketing activities. 

To do this, ensure that you remove all duplicates, bounced and opted-out emails, as well as verifying new data.

• Up-sell and cross-sell by sending emails through automation workflows

Up-selling is the process of convincing a customer to buy more expensive items from you. Cross-selling is increasing the value of sales by presenting different products to a customer. Using these techniques will help you grow your revenue tremendously.  

You can use automation workflows to up-sell and cross-sell your present customers. How? By providing them with products/services similar to the ones that they have purchased. 

Additionally, you can tag your contacts based on the product they have bought from you and use automation to recommend other products that are complements to the product they bought.
