2012 Revenue – Making It Happen vs. Hoping It Happens

B2B Lead Generation | Making Sure You Make Your Numbers in 2012 Their key point is that decisions you make today in your business will impact how well you are able to make quota in 2012.

They said there are three key questions to ask:

1. Is our revenue target valid?
2. Do we know who our best prospects are?
3. Is our lead management optimized?

The keys I believe you need to focus on for the balance of the year include:

• Tightly targeting your market
• Formalizing your lead generation progression
• Fixing the responsibility for lead generation
• Automating lead generation with marketing automation software like Eloqua, Marketo or Act-On.
• Using both outbound and inbound approaches

Focusing on those few imperatives as the year wins down is one of the most important things business leaders can do today. Find New Customers can help. Services like our Lead Generation Assessment Service as well as Lead Generation and Scoring Service are exactly what companies need today.

What do you think? We love comments and those who share.



“If more companies listened to (Find New Customers) a lot more would be sold.” Dan McDade, Pointclear.

hiring an employee - You may want to consider contracting out instead of actually hiring. Some factors to think about if you hire someone as an employee and you put them on payroll you will be required to pay CPP and EI, as well as deducting CPP, EI and Taxes from their paycheck and remitting them to Revenue Canada. So you will need to 1. Register with Revenue Canada so you can make the remittenances 2. make sure you keep really good track of these deductions 3. it you don't have the time to do payroll you may need to hire a bookkeeper. or you could contract out the hours that you would need an assistant. The would be able to work from their space or your office. There is another option that you might want to consider some of the community centers offers training programs for new immigrants or anyone wish to change professions some of these programs require that they offer their services for 6 or 8 weeks (no charge to the employer). If you need someone short term this may help you and provide extra training for someone else. Microskills is one of the Community Centers that offer such programs. they train customer service personal, bookkeepers.
