Lead Lists

Mailing Lists for Towing Businesses

Some sales consultants say lead generation is all about effort. While hard work is important, finding good towing business leads and closing new business requires strategy -- plus high-quality lead lists.

A lone ranger attitude is dangerous and foolhardy if you market to towing businesses.

But by reducing the need for internal lead generation, your business can gain momentum in the area of actual selling. When applied intelligently, lead lists are powerful resources for B2B towing business selling.

Interviewing Lead List Providers

B2B sellers that rely on lead lists are advised to interview several prospects before settling on a provider. During the interview, you'll need to determine whether or not the provider is capable of delivering lists of contacts that have been filtered and updated within the past thirty days. This is especially important for towing businesses given the industry's high turnover rates. If you aren't sure where to begin your search, we recommend starting with Experian. Experian is a reputable vendor with a proven track record in producing high converting leads for the B2B sector.

Use Lead Lists for More Than Direct Mail

Most lead lists are used exclusively for direct marketing purposes. That's fine -- lead lists are fantastic resources for targeted, direct mail marketing. However, there are several other uses for lead lists in a B2B operation. Depending on your strategy, it might be possible to use the towing business contacts you acquire to launch prospecting, telemarketing or online sales and marketing initiatives. For example, by integrating lead lists into an email campaign, you can boost your online visibility and direct decision makers to a user-friendly website that contains interactive content about your products.

How Much To Pay For Lead Lists

Why do some business leaders spend small fortunes on office furniture and then refuse to buy lead lists?

The decision to purchase a lead list is a decision to invest in your company's future. It's the purchase of an asset that can substantially boost sales revenues.

Still not convinced? Then consider this: time dedicated to lead generation detracts from the amount of time your business can dedicate to converting prospects. It doesn't take very many hours spent on in-house lead generation to justify an investment in a quality lead list.
