For Marketers looking to quickly increase the number of prospects at the top of their funnel by adding names from outside of their own prospect database, the primary choices available are Paid Search (such as Google AdWords) and email List Rental.

The key limitation to both of these is typically cost, and in both cases the Marketer is charged prior to prospect conversion. In the case of Paid Search, one pays per click (and hopes that a high percentage of those clickthroughs actually fill out the form and convert) and in the case of List Rental, one pays for the attempt (for the sending of the email, regardless of the number of click-throughs or conversions).

The marketers at True Influence offer a better way. True Influence campaigns feature a unique One-Click Lead methodology that eliminates forms entirely!

On Sep 27, Jason Hekl, Founder and Principal of Demand a Lot Marketing, presented an informative webinar on DIY Demand Generation: Scrappy Marketing Strategies for Filling the Funnel Faster.

Recession. Limited resources. Budget cuts. Pricing pressures. Diminishing returns on advertising. Poor response rates. Low conversion rates. Prospects who don’t want to engage your sales staff. Stiff competition. The challenges facing B2B marketers today are many. There is no “business as usual” any more. Traditional marketing techniques just do not work as well as they once did. And that is creating great demand for scrappy, street-smart marketers who know how to do more with less.
