Automated Lead Generation, Multi-Step Marketing, and Your Business

When we discuss marketing we are in fact talking about relationships. We know that the favorable relationships are based on regular contact using a variety of different methods. We call our friends; send cards and flowers to our wives, and employ many other ways of demonstrating our love and affection to the people who we care about. When setting out to develop a successful Marketing Campaign we need to follow this same line of thought.

Selling today is a multi-step process. It has been demonstrated that up to 95% of the people you may touch with your advertising are not yet be in a purchasing mode, making it essential to maintain contact with anyone who responds to your marketing efforts. Build a relationship and condition them to the fact that you can be trusted and are knowledgeable about your product or service. This way when they are prepared to purchase, your company will be the one that they associate a solution to their need with.

As much as our marketing challenges sounds simple when we condense it into a couple of brief paragraphs, the reality is quite different. The following scenario is an example of this. Imagine you attract 20 new prospects every month through your marketing and you touch base with each prospect 3 times every month. Contacting a prospect 3 times in a month is not excessive by the way. Over the period of 6 months, following this same pattern, you would have to facilitate 1,260 contacts. If you are doing it properly you are also doing this through various forms of media. Imagine the time constraints managing this type of activity would create. The reality is that you cant afford not to do this when statistics demonstrate that you will close 75% more prospects when you DO stay in touch with them over the course of a year.

I recently came across a company that has spent the last 12 years developing a systematic and fully media featured marketing program that has automated a multi-step marketing capability. This company is Automated Marketing Solutions or “AMS”. AMS provides a full suite of marketing technology tools and processes that allow any company to deliver a comprehensive marketing program using not only tested, but proven methods. The most exciting aspect of their development is that the entire process can be automated. They refer to it as putting your marketing on Auto-Pilot. Once a business marketing program (including voice messages, e-mails, faxes and other broadcast and mail out collateral) is compiled and sequenced, their Lead Management System or LMS provides the convenient ability to manage and control that program without any further human interaction. It captures leads that respond to marketing and places them into the appropriate program for follow up by the LMS itself. Very little, if any, human input is required. The benefits to this system are significant time savings on what would otherwise be labor intensive tasks. It also provides consistency in marketing messages.

Additional benefits of using their LMS include the retention capabilities of the system. After all, once you have sourced and converted a prospect, your next most important task is to hold onto them. Using AMS LMS means that businesses never need worry about losing customers who misinterpreted their lack of contact for apathy. Because of AMS years of experience in building multi-media marketing programs they are able to assist and teach users regarding the best methods to use as they build their own campaigns.
