Inbound Marketing versus Outbound Marketing
• If you've noticed that traditional Outbound Marketing like TV, radio, print, direct mail,
telemarketing and trade shows are no longer helping you reach your revenue goals, it's
because the Internet has changed the way that consumers now relate to your brand
and your company.
• For the first time in history consumers can ignore your advertising and promotion and
take complete control of the buying process by using search engines like Google to
research any product and service online.
• Inbound Marketing helps you get found when consumers go looking online and
systematically provides them with all the helpful information they need to make a
buying decision in your favour.

The 4-Stage Inbound Marketing Process
Get found by people searching keyword terms in Google so they become visitors to your website,
convert them to leads, close them as customers and delight them so they refer you to others.

Stage 1 – Attract Customer Prospects As Visitors
Make it easy for prospects to find your content while
they are searching for educational information to help
them make an informed purchase decision:
• Keywords: determine what keywords your ideal
customer prospects will likely be searching in Google.
• Website: create pages on your website optimized with
content based on the keywords prospects search.
• Blogging: create blogs optimized with content based
on keywords prospects search that help them answer
questions related to their purchase decision process.

Stage 2 – Convert Visitors Into Leads
Once you get visitors to your website, the next step is
to convert them into leads by gathering their contact
information using the following tools:
• Download Offers: You need to create download offers
for helpful white papers, eBooks, webinars, and videos
that are related to their purchase process.
• Calls-to-Action: These are buttons, links or banners on
each of your blog and website pages that encourage
visitors to take action like downloading a white paper or
eBook that might be helpful to their purchase decision.
• Landing Pages with Forms: When a visitor clicks on a
Call-to-Action they should be sent to a landing page
containing a form to fill out so you can capture their
contact information in exchange for the download offer.

Stage 3 – Close Leads into Customers
A lead that is just starting the research process for a
purchase decision needs to be nurtured through to the
middle of the process with more helpful information
downloads before being ready for a sales call at the
end of the process:
• Lead Scoring: You set up a numerical scoring system
to define what stage of the buying process each lead is
at and what action to nurture them should be done next.
• Marketing Automation: You set up a workflow of
automatic email messages that provide links in correct
sequential order to all of the helpful information that will
be required to move any given lead from the start to
middle to end of their purchase process.
• CRM Integration: Monitor how well your leads are
being followed up by integrating with a CRM system.
