The Art of Closing Deals with a Qualified Lead

Closing deals with a qualified lead is the ultimate goal for every marketing program. Both marketing and sales folks need to work hand in hand to keep things going well without any hiccups. However, you need to keep a few things in mind to master the art of closing deals with a qualified lead.
  1. Use different modes of communication (emails, phone calls, direct mail) to grab your lead’s attention. Ensure that your marketing plan drives engagement throughout the buying cycle. 

  2. Use a mail merge tool to personalize emails and direct mails.

  3. Always treat your leads as your top customers. Treat them with respect and let them know that you and your company care for their needs and interests.

  4. Focus on the lead’s individual needs and segment your marketing process accordingly. This will help you demonstrate how your products/services can help your leads meet the specific requirements.

  5. Timing is very crucial. You need to pass the leads to the sales team at the right time, neither too early nor too late.

  6. Please ensure that your marketing team shares the appropriate information about the lead to the sales department.

  7. Identify the right time to close the deal by starting the sales conversation.
