Marketing and Sales Leads

Mailing Lists for Family Planning Businesses

Buying lead databases is a proven means to take the next step and grow your business. But be sure to incorporate them into your sales strategy.

In the B2B arena, sales strategies are frequently adjusted and modified. Just when you think you've found the perfect strategy, the market shifts, forcing you back to the drawing board.

Nowadays, family planning businesses count on you to reach out to them. The good news is that a modest investment in lead databases can help streamline a way to find the most convertible leads in the industry.

Mailing List Return on Investment

Lead lists are a cost-effective way to generate leads in a B2B enterprise. Although there is an added expense associated with lead lists, the overhead cost of maintaining an in-house lead generation program exceeds the amount of cash you'll spend to acquire a reliable list. If you factor in the cost of maintaining constantly updated family planning business contacts, it's not difficult to see why lead lists are an attractive alternative to internal processes.

Finding Sales Prospects

Reliable lead lists increase the odds of positive family planning business responses. But before you can close deals, you'll need to use your lists to engage in prospecting.

Unfortunately, you can't avoid the hard work of picking up the phone and using the lead list to qualify prospects. Although not every family planning business on the list will greet your efforts with enthusiasm, the payoff for an investment in a targeted lead list will be noticeably higher conversion rates.

Criteria for Lead List Vendor Selection

In our experience, there are a lot of variations among lead list vendors and Experian Business services stand out from the crowd. What sets them apart is that Experian has all of the qualities we look for in a good lead list provider, including the following:

  • Large database. We think it's important for businesses that sell to family planning businesses to rely on leads that have been selected from a large, national database. Why? Because more contacts equates to a higher volume of truly qualified leads.
  • Updated contacts. Contact updating is lead list 101. Long contact lists are worthless unless they are regularly updated for accuracy.
  • Delivery speed. When your business needs a fresh injection of family planning business leads, you can't afford to to incur vendor backlogs. Good list providers feature fast turnaround times measured in hours or less.
