Mailing Lists for Refrigerators and Freezers Wholesale and Manufacturers Businesses
It's no secret that selling to refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers businesses can be a daunting task. But lead lists can be the gift that keeps on giving. They help you exceed your growth goals in a competitive sales environment.
If you're just hoping for high volumes of refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers businesses to line up for your products, you're going to be waiting for a while.
There are only so many refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers businesses you can sell to. You can't sell to all of them, but good business mailing lists target high value prospects so you can concentrate on prospects that are most likely to convert.
Measuring Lead List ROI
There are a lot of way to measure the impact of refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers business lead lists.
For starters, conversion rate (number of sales/number of leads) is essential in measuring lead list success and failure rates. But you may also want to think about integrating a few other metrics into your assessment routine.
A units-per-lead measurement demonstrates the quality of the leads in your lists. When compared to your internal lead generation metrics, a dismal units-per-lead number indicate a provider that isn't performing adequate qualification or lead filtering. Similarly, individual metrics for your sales staff indicate how well each of your team members is using the leads they receive from your vendor.
Using Lead Lists for Direct Marketing
With direct mail, you only get one chance to capture a prospect's attention. When a refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers business decisionmaker reads your piece, he has to be knocked over by what he sees.
Most businesses invest heavily in the creation of each direct mail piece. But the effort and resources you put into your direct mail marketing channel will be wasted unless your pieces are seen by the right people. As a result, lead generation isn't just about adding refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers business names to a list -- it's about producing a high quality list of refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers business sales prospects.
Lead List Vendor Recommendations
Google is often business owners' first stop when they're looking for a lead list provider. Although online searches have value, they don't tell the whole story. You'll find no shortage of vendors that are big on promises and short on execution, so it's important to verify each provider's claims and references.
We've known many lead list providers throughout the years, but we have been consistently impressed with Experian. One of Experian's many high points is a database of more than 14 million U.S. businesses. Companies that sell to refrigerators and freezers wholesale and manufacturers businesses appreciate Experian's ability to deliver updated leads that have been filtered to meet precise geographic and demographic criteria.
