    Our company uses inbound marketing to generate leads but our sales strategy combines emails and phone calls that encourages prospects to schedule a meeting with a sales person.

    All prospects continue through a sequence of messages until they convert, request not be contacted or the campaign ends. The strategy was developed by MarketingSherpa and the first email mostly warms up prospects for a follow up call after they’ve downloaded a white paper.

    True to the case study’s premise, phone calls drive conversions. We call 6 times and have a workflow of automated emails using HubSpot’s marketing automation software that drives content to prospects. The content includes top of the funnel white papers to bottom of the funnel case studies and pricing information.

    We have found that inbound marketing works to generate leads but not close sales. We also found that if you do not call prospects, someone else will and they will have the conversation with the prospect.
