    Study Notes

    Prioritizing Active Buyers

    • Active buyers are those who are actively researching solutions to problems, demonstrating interest in what you offer. Passive buyers aren't currently researching or actively looking for a solution.
    • Prioritizing active buyers often leads to more successful sales outcomes as they're already engaged in the process.
    • A deep understanding of your ideal customer profile and buyer personas enables you to efficiently target active buyers.

    Identifying Active Buyers

    • Use an inbound sales approach to target those actively interested, rather than reaching everyone.
    • This starts with defining your ideal customer profile (ICP) and buyer personas.
    • An ICP describes your ideal customer base – use factors like economic status, ideal time to connect, market segments, geography, and legal restrictions.
    • Buyer personas are semi-fictional representations of actual customers within your ICP, including specifics about their demographics, behaviors, motivations, and goals.

    Lead Identification Tactics

    • Inbound Leads: Identify individuals who have interacted with your website through live chat, phone calls, social media interactions, or form completions.
    • Immediate Action: Respond quickly to inbound leads to capitalize on the moment of interest.
    • Utilize CRM systems to organize and automate this process.
    • Trigger Events: Look for trigger events that show a potential buyer is actively researching: press releases, job postings, and social media mentions of your company, competitors, keywords or hashtags, and product/services.
    • Social Media: Monitor social media channels, following keywords and interactions relevant to your offering.
    • Anonymous Visitors: Track multiple visits from the same company to a website as a sign of potential active buyer interest.

    Social Selling

    • Use social media to build relationships with prospective clients; this is known as "social selling".
    • Identify thought leaders and influencers in your industry to help promote your content to your target audience.
    • Participate in relevant LinkedIn groups, answering questions and sharing insights related to your area of expertise.
    • Comment on relevant blogs or posts to begin conversations with potential interest.

    Lead Enrichment Techniques

    • Lead Enrichment: Detail information about a lead’s interests and demographics in your CRM database.
    • This process includes examining their website activity, downloaded content, conversion events, and engagement with email content.
    • Analyze website and CRM data to understand a prospect's specific requirements.
    • Leverage available technology (like HubSpot) to automatically gather and consolidate lead information.
    • Only create a "connect" entry in your CRM after fully enriching your lead profile to understand their specific context.
