Cascading Lead Generation System (CLGS)

Your Website attracts traffic (site visitors) from multiple on and offline sources. Maximizing conversion of this traffic into high-quality sales leads requires a staged approach where each preceding stage leads (cascades) to the next according to a defined set of rules that eliminate conflicts and disagreements between sales and marketing.

We call this the Cascading Lead Generation System (CLGS).

  • Cascading Lead Conversion System (CLGS)Traffic (site visitors): SEO, PPC, Emails, Banners, Blogs, PR etc.
  • Inquiries: Capture leads via landing pages*
  • Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL): A lead that has achieved a certain score based on a predetermined set of criteria and is ready to be handed off to sales
  • Sales Accepted Leads (SAL): Leads accepted by sales for follow up actions
  • Sales Qualified Leads (SQL): Leads that convert into opportunities – either wins or losses
  • Closed-loop: Sales provides feedback to marketing to refine scoring rules and nurturing campaigns

* Leads are usually captured using optimized landing pages. Some situations may require multi-stage landing pages to refine and qualify prospects adequately. Landing page creation is usually a function of Marketing Automation but can be a stand-alone application too.
