How It Works

What does a truly qualified lead look like? Is it getting someone to raise their hand, or is it to develop a sales-ready prospect?

Consultation and Information Gathering Session a.k.a Setting Your

"S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N"

We consult with you to flesh out all the key pieces of information you need so you can close the deal. We will look at what you currently have, what you are currently doing and what you want to achieve moving forward.

What intelligence you would need depends on the product or service you're offering.

For Example: Capturing your "Modified S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N outlined by you, during your Consultation and Information Gathering Session, using Probability Scoring. This information is then handed off to your dedicated account manager for the life of your campaign.

Example of a: “MODIFIED-S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N”.

Identifying & Gathering the Critical Data

This will be generated primarily from our existing comprehensive database of contacts we've developed over years. It will include basics like...

Company name
Mailing address
City and/or Province
Telephone, fax number
Executive Management (Decision Maker)
Industry classification code (sic & naics)
Sales volume figure
Number of Employees
Square Footage/Office Size and many others...

Additional Data Capture Sources

In addition to our existing database we’ve been mining for over 10 years, all other sources of leads will be captured from the various channel sources, funneled into our Marketing Automation platform for lead scoring and nurturing so we can stay engaged with your prospects.

For example: Webforms, landing pages, social media, email marketing, targeted google ads etc.

Staying engaged with your prospects throughout the process

A contact who is highly engaged is probably ready to make a purchase decision and you may be able to be more aggressive with the frequency you contact them. In this way, you can adapt the length of your sales cycle on the basis of a lead's behavior.

How do we do that?

With Lead Nurturing & Lead Scoring through Marketing Automation, managed by experience sales professionals with a combined 60 years of experience.

Your Dedicated Account Manager.

Lead Nurturing

It's the process of building relationships by providing valuable info & ongoing contact to qualified prospects, even though they are not yet ready to buy, so you stay top-of-mind when they are ready. All the while capturing critical pieces of intel you need so you can be ready to meet with the prospect and close the deal.

What Is Lead Nuturing

As we get deeper into the lead nurturing efforts, the goal is to develop them into a sales-ready lead who can be handed off to your sales team. Lead nurturing is all about taking that prospect from just raising their hand, to someone who is prepared to become a customer or client. "Ready To Buy".

Lead Scoring

Lead scoring is a numerical value that is assigned to a contact. A single score can be comprised of one or more rules that can award or subtract points from a contact, if they meet your conditions. This is at the heart of your Modified S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N.

For example, scoring for Budget, Authority, Need, Pain-point, Timeframe. Decision-Maker contact information (name, position, direct phone, email address, physical location, etc.) We help you create and develop your own customized S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N. attributes based on your unique company needs.

Lead Score/Probability Score (Drilldown)

Setting up each attribute (modified S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N.) with the specific PS (a.k.a. probability score) so that each time a piece of the S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N. is obtained from the target prospect by your account manager, the overall global value of that lead increases by the assigned value.

For Example:

For example, if a contact starts off with a baseline score of 10 points =(Name, title, email, address, phone), then a rule was created that assigns 20 points if that contact is in fact the decision maker and another rule that assigns 20 points if that same contact is ready to make a purchase of your product or service. A contact that matches both those rules would have a combined score of 60 points or a 60% probability of you closing the deal.

This is what your total combined S.C.O.T.S.M.A.N. score will look like at the end.

Who is the final decision maker ? = 20% PS
What is their main pain point ? = 20% PS
Do they have a budget ? = 20% PS
Are they under contract ? = 20% PS
What is the time line for making the final decision to pull the trigger ? = 20% PS

This combined accumulated score outlined by you, during our consultation and Information Gathering Session is the total SCOTSMAN. 100% PS=Ready to Buy.
