The Impact Of Not Having A Lead Management System

Lets Set The Scene

Let us say, we have a client Andrew come to us after using a different lead management system that had failed to live up to his expectations, it simply was not working for his business. There were multiple reasons Andrew felt the system he was using was falling short of his expectations and he was struggling with the downtime. As a result, he began to look at other options because issues like this can lead to extra spending and costs Andrew had not budgeted for.

Naturally, due to this and other faults in the system, Andrew felt he had to try something new and moved on. As a back-up plan, Andrew had to trade in a lead management system for an API bridge whilst he decided what was next! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this kind of system, it connects all of the software your company is using and gets it to work together: a grab everything, put it together and send it kind of approach. While this method helped our client with what he wanted to do – transfer leads from pages to buyers, however, it was not a lead management system and could only take the client so far.

Lack of compliance

• HLR Validation ensures and affirms that the phone number is live online through a request that is sent to the provider to confirm the status. The information of which is provided in milliseconds for your benefit.
• Email validation determines the quality and deliverability of each contact verifying their authenticity and affirming which prospects are legitimate.
• IP address validation is extremely important if you are targeting specific areas. We are able to confirm the general area in which the prospect is at the time. You can use this to check that the opt-in IP address is local to the market.
• TPS tracking is highly important as it allows people to opt-out of receiving unsolicited sales and marketing. At Leadbyte, we track this and consistently update our list which you can see and ensure you do not break the law by contacting people who have opted-out.

Email and SMS costs are inevitably higher

If you are not validating data before sending, you could be throwing away a fair amount of money! We worked out that if you remarket the same data, not validating your leads can cost you up to £1260 more per year!

Lack of growth

There is only so much you can do with spreadsheets. You lose valuable hours as a result of having to manually download leads and then send them as CSV’s via email.

No real-time reports

Not being able to check on your campaigns in real-time affects your ability to scale up campaigns. This is because you cannot track costs without real-time reports therefore, you are unable to make changes to campaigns in time for changes to be effective.

Not having multiple buyers

LeadByte allows clients to see where and when to prioritize buyers through a variety of distribution methods. The reason having multiple buyers is so beneficial is you can maximise your lead return on investment (ROI). You can maximise lead ROI by choosing the distribution method that suits you best based on what it is that you are looking for. To read more on lead distribution, click here.
