Leads are the starting point for any business setup, and the number and growth of these leads translate directly into the operation\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n

In simple terms, more qualified leads = more sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The importance of lead generation and nurturing for business success is evident from the necessity of the ‘door-to-door’ salesmen, who relied on their conversational skills to convert potential leads into loyal buyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the modern-day lead conversion process has come a long way from then. The integration of digital communication tools has been a welcome addition to the arsenal of sales and marketing teams. And rightly so, given the rapidly increasing competition in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This change has been felt even more profoundly by SaaS companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lower barriers to entry into the SaaS sector have led to a stupendous increase in the number of SaaS providers\u2014the number<\/span> doubled across 3 years (2017-20) from 3500 to ~7000 globally!<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it becomes critically important to have a robust lead generation and acquisition strategy to thrive in such a competitive environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, multiple tools that drive customer acquisition for users already exist. Some of these are SEO, email marketing, and social media. Leveraging a social signals service<\/a> can amplify your social media efforts by increasing visibility and engagement, which in turn supports your SEO and customer acquisition strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lead acquisition strategy: omnichannel experience<\/h2>\n

However, the mere presence of such tools is incomplete without the existence of a well-structured strategy that assembles these bits and pieces into a meaningful ensemble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An effective lead acquisition strategy has to be devised exhaustively\u2014taking care of the top and bottom of the funnels and optimising the mid-funnel of the customer journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One such strategy is the use of an omnichannel experience<\/a> for lead acquisition and nurturing.<\/span><\/p>\n

An omnichannel experience is defined as one that provides customers with a host of touchpoints through which they can interact with the brand, thus enabling an integrated, seamless experience across various platforms and devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The advent of social media<\/a> has opened up numerous avenues, allowing meaningful two-way communication between customers and brands, irrespective of time and location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several industry surveys have validated the clear benefits of an omnichannel lead nurturing strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, the Harvard Business Review<\/a> conducted an extensive study of the active omnichannel experiences. It noted that the customers reported <\/span>23% more repeat purchases within 6 months of an omnichannel shopping experience<\/span> and they were also more likely to spread the brand’s name to their family and friends. The Martal<\/a> team has observed similar outcomes in practice. By layering buyer-intent signals into omnichannel outreach, they’ve seen appointment conversions increase up to threefold, with sales cycles often shortened as prospects engage more quickly across multiple touchpoints.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building an effective omnichannel lead acquisition strategy<\/h2>\n

An omnichannel lead acquisition strategy has become a must-have in the current business environment instead of just a good-to-have. <\/span>Here, we will dissect such a strategy into its most fundamental processes and discuss how to modulate the various parts to your requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, you will be left with a robust approach that focuses on converting your potential leads into your most loyal customers.<\/span><\/p>\n
