There are a myriad of tips and guides online, but if you’ll look closely, everything boils down to few, but highly efficient practices.

Instead of reaching out to prospects, you leave a trail of value content and incentives across your online and offline space in inbound lead generation. Customers take the initiative to approach you in their terms and timing.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inbound lead generation fits the B2B buyer’s behavior today, where customers will have researched about you and compared you with the competition long before your sales rep get the chance to contact them. By then, the bulk of the buying decision has been shaped or influenced by content they’ve found. The latest Demand Gen Report showed that </span><a href="http://e61c88871f1fbaa6388d-c1e3bb10b0333d7ff7aa972d61f8c669.r29.cf1.rackcdn.com/DGR_DG076_SURV_ContentPref_March_2018_Final.pdf?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT0RFME56VmpZVEU0TWpNNCIsInQiOiJkeE5pYit3WW8wQUZ0WE5kd3NFbFcxdWJjOU5tTW1zcDExcmxxR0FKSkFwZ2ZIdjRidU9wdm1WNTkzZm9YSW01dmFtMEp4bStaeGNDTjJXaTZmdGJnT0NOQk9kdURPUkxNczFWVDlaTEVDSjJhcjdveXdNVFY0NG85OUNueE9OQyJ9"><span style="font-weight: 400;">78% of customers read three or more materials</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> before reaching out to a salesperson.

The short answer is the latter is a subset of the former, both of which aim to get leads from businesses, not individuals. Both also involve a set of customers (the Decision Making Unit) and the sales cycle is more complex than in consumer markets. But that’s as far as the similarity goes; SaaS lead generation presents unique characteristics, namely:</span></p><ol> <li><b>The product is the service.</b>Although you’re selling software, you’re really selling the service. SaaS is selling a work-in-progress product by providing continuous support for regular updates, upgrades and the occasional troubleshooting.</li> <li><b>Sales cycle is short.</b>Subscription is usually designed around monthly terms. Customers can get in and out easily, leaving you with a fluid subscription base month over month.</li> <li><strong>Content marketing is very important.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> None in the B2B sphere, perhaps, where content matters most than in SaaS. There’s always the need to, not just promote your product, but own authority in your niche to capture leads by continuously publishing guides, industry reports, tips and techniques or conducting webinars.</span></li> <li><strong>Loyal customers are for keeps.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Given they are happy with you, customers have less motivation to migrate to another vendor considering the hassles in changing systems.</span></li> </ol><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, the best SaaS lead generation strategies for your product should take into account the above features.</span></p><h3 id="process" class="bg-title"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the Process of Lead Generation for SaaS?</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SaaS vendors follow a clear lead gen pipeline, as with most B2B industries, with the goal to convert strangers to customers. But you should go beyond paying customers and aspire to happy, loyal customers; clients who are delighted by your service that they become brand ambassadors promoting your product. HubSpot breaks down the process in four major stages here:</span></p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-121600 lazyload" alt="" width="558" height="194" sizes="(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/10/lead-pipeline.jpg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2018/10/lead-pipeline.jpg 558w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2018/10/lead-pipeline-300x104.jpg 300w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2018/10/lead-pipeline-93x32.jpg 93w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2018/10/lead-pipeline-417x145.jpg 417w"></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The diagram shows us that the lead gen process sends prospects through your marketing and sales funnels. While traditional marketing will have these two as distinct pipelines, not so with SaaS. Here’s why: like other vendors you are likely to rely on monthly subscription. Even as you provide post-sale service you continue to promote more services and hope your subscribers bump up to your premium plan or, at the least, don’t leave you the following month. In fact, the diagram above is better presented as a loop, feeding your customers to the Attract stage for another round of lead generation process, this time, for a premium offer or a cross-sell.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In SaaS, the lead gen process is likely to reside in the </span><a href="/c/crm-software/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CRM system</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the core software that provides the pipeline from leads to deals with an integrated, single, 360-degree view of the customer. Other “customer-engaged” business systems may integrate with the CRM, such as helpdesk and inventory management, which record customer queries and transactions, respectively, and associate these engagements to leads. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever B2B SaaS lead generation techniques you use below you will need a CRM software to automate workflows, deliver a personalized service and, ultimately, maximize conversions at every stage of the lead generation process.</span></p><p>For that, you can turn to our <a href="/list-10-best-crm-software-tools/">comprehensive list of top 10 CRM tools here</a>.

However, it’s not a question of which one is better, rather, which combination works for you. Adam Kearny of MemberClicks, a membership management solution, says <em>“the </em></span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">key to effective lead generation is diversification</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.” Not only do you avoid relying too much on one tactic, he says, but “you free up the necessary space to try out wild and novel ideas.” </span></p><div class="fot-toc"> <div class="fot-toc__header"> <h4>Here’s our SaaS lead generation strategies guide with examples:</h4> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <div class="fot-toc__list"> <ol class="fot-toc__ol col50"> <li><a href="#content">Content marketing</a></li> <li><a href="#directories">B2B review directories</a></li> <li><a href="#email">Email marketing</a></li> <li><a href="#linkedin">LinkedIn advertising</a></li> <li><a href="#facebook">Facebook advertising</a></li> </ol> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div><h3 id="contents" class="bg-title">1. Content Marketing</h3><p>Aggressive sales pitches and advertisements may be effective a few years ago but nowadays, having quality content is more important for engaging customers. This is why it comes as no surprise that in The State Of Content Marketing 2018 Report, <a href="https://www.smartinsights.com/content-management/content-marketing-strategy/the-state-of-content-marketing-2018/">86% respondents said they have a content marketing strategy</a> for their operations.</p><p><a href="https://www.demandmetric.com/content/content-marketing-infographic"><span style="font-weight: 400;">DemandMetric</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> also found that content marketing results in 3x more leads vs. traditional marketing, while an </span><a href="http://resources.kapost.com/aberdeen-content-chaos.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aberdeen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> study showed that adopters have 6x higher conversion rates against non-adopters of content marketing.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So how do you create a content plan? Here’s a general picture:</span></p><ol> <li><b>Shortlist topics.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> These can be authoritative, original, trending and interesting to your buyer personas, and which you’re an expert in.</span></li> <li><b>Develop an SEO strategy.</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s the deal: SEO is a major component of content marketing. Your content has to be found on page one of generic searches. Without search traction all your content will underperform. So don’t scrimp on resources even if it takes months, even years, to get significant SEO results. For the “tricks of the trade” you can <a href="/how-to-grow-your-business-with-lead-generation/">find key pointers on search marketing here</a>.

However, this should be done properly, ensuring the backlinks make sense and your content have real value to the linking websites. Google’s penalty for so-called </span><a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">link schemes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is heavy and will jeopardize your content marketing plan for the long haul. </span></li> <li><b>Measure metrics.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> What metrics should you track? The basic ones include: page views, downloads, users and demographics. You can break down these metrics further, focusing on average time on page, new vs. returning, sessions and referral traffics.

Email marketing </span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email marketing is still one of the most effective lead channels. It’s considered <a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/marketing-channels/">one the best digital channels for B2B</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The open rate for email marketing is somewhere at 21% CTR (</span><a href="/email-marketing-software-analysis-features-benefits-pricing-types/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GetResponse study</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">). Once a prospect signs up to your offer that’s your foot in the door, allowing you to nurture it towards a deal. Sure, that’s a long road to a close but lead nurturing is set in motion and the prospect fed into the marketing funnel. The challenge is how to prod strangers to sign up. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Essentially, you need to focus on these five factors:</span></p><ol> <li><b>Lead magnet.</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">This is your compelling offer that motivates prospects to sign up. It can be a deal, exclusive offer or white paper (your content marketing gets into play here). </span></li> <li><b>Subject line.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> It should tell prospects at once the value you’re putting on the table. There’s a whole art in creating catchy subject lines, for instance, these </span><a href="https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2014/03/31/email-subject-lines"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WordStream email techniques</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which generally point to short and crisp writing.</span></li> <li><strong>Landing page.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> This is where prospects are led to for the actual sign-up, hence, a landing page should be clear on your offer and call-to-action, the steps to take.</span></li> <li><strong>Segmentation.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Email marketing is hardly mass promotion. It is best optimized via segmenting prospects based on various factors, for instance: engagement level; stage in the lead nurturing pipeline; and demographics.</span></li> <li><strong>Metrics.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The key to a high conversion rate is to build on the previous campaign. And the best way to know how is to measure post-event outcomes such as open rates and click-through rates. </span></li> </ol><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email marketing is now made more accurate, insightful with drill-down analytics and automated with email marketing software. In our database of </span><a href="/c/email-marketing-software/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">email marketing vendors</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> alone you have dozens of options. You can also </span><a href="/email-marketing-software-analysis-features-benefits-pricing-types/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">check our email marketing software guide</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to learn the basics, benefits, features to consider and potential issues on this software category.</span></p><h3 id="linkedin" class="bg-title"><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. LinkedIn Advertising</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Social media has a place in B2B SaaS marketing. After all, a huge chunk of the worldwide population is now connected online via social networking sites. One such site is LinkedIn. Compared to other social media channels, this <a href="https://ignitevisibility.com/social-media-statistics/">drives a majority of social traffic to blog sites and websites</a> so advertising through this channel will surely boost your online presence. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A good tactic to manage the low ROI in B2B social media is to manage cost by focusing on the top social media platform for business: LinkedIn. It is the top choice by B2B content marketers, as this table from Foundation.com shows:</span></p><div id="attachment_131716" style="width: 794px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-131716" class="size-full wp-image-131716 lazyload" alt="" width="784" height="428" sizes="(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM.png" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM.png 784w, https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM-300x164.png 300w, https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM-768x419.png 768w, https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM-88x48.png 88w, https://financesonline.com/uploads/2018/12/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.06.12-PM-266x145.png 266w"><p id="caption-attachment-131716" class="wp-caption-text">Source: foundationinc.co</p></div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn’s Sponsored Content allows you to reach out to professionals who match your buyer personas. It allows you to share industry news that relate to your product, curate relevant content, repurpose your own content and embed rich media like videos, audio and SlideShare files. It also has tools for lead gen forms, audience targeting and network effect (beyond the LinkedIn universe). If this is your first time to use Sponsored Content getting started is fast. Just check the social network’s guide on </span><a href="https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/best-practices/ad-tips/what-you-need-to-get-started"><span style="font-weight: 400;">how to prepare a LinkedIn ad campaign</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, what are the SaaS marketing best practices for LinkedIn? Here are the essentials:</span></p><ol> <li><b>Be concise.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Write concise headlines, no more than 150 characters and keep descriptive copy under 70 characters to avoid critical information being truncated.</span></li> <li><b>Use large images.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The recommended size is 1200 x 627 pixels wide. According to LinkedIn larger images get up to </span><a href="https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/best-practices/ad-tips/sponsored-content-tips"><span style="font-weight: 400;">38% higher click-through rates</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li><b>Place clear CTA.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Be precise on the action to take. Is it to download an ebook? Sign up for a free trial? Read industry report?</span></li> <li><strong>Follow the ad specs.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> LinkedIn has specific </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/68894?src=or-search&veh=www.google.com%7Cor-search"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rules on ad Sponsored Content ad creation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Make sure to keep to the specs to get your ad running smoothly.</span></li> <li><strong>Target the right audience.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> LinkedIn allows you to target audience based on three criteria, one of which is location. Make sure, though, the criteria is not too specific as to narrow down your audience.</span></li> </ol><h3 id="facebook" class="bg-title"><span style="font-weight: 400;">5. What is Lead Generation in Facebook?</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook should also be a part of your best SaaS marketing strategies. Some may argue that Facebook is for B2C, but you ignore the world’s largest social network at your own peril. For one, Facebook Lead Ads, its PPC product, can be your gateway to mobile users. Why is this important? A BigCommerce research showed that <a href="https://www.bigcommerce.com/blog/b2b-ecommerce-trends/">42% of B2B buyers use their mobile device</a> in a business purchase. Wouldn’t they be far off checking their Facebook page during the moment? Another thing, you can, in fact, use to your advantage this office pain point: <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5230085/Are-cyberloafer-Warning-slacking-online.html">employees spend about 2 hours a day slacking off online</a>. That’s a good time to catch their attention, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook Lead Ads works right inside the newsfeed and lets you signal your business intent conveniently for prospects. Users can sign up to your offer with just two taps. It has tools for target marketing and customization also. How do you get started with Facebook Lead Ads? The social network provides a clear guide on </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/business/help/397336587121938"><span style="font-weight: 400;">how to create Facebook ads</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> including setting up your Page and Ads Manager.</span></p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62073 lazyload" alt="" width="800" height="390" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image.jpg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image.jpg 800w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image-300x146.jpg 300w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image-768x374.jpg 768w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image-93x45.jpg 93w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2017/09/Facebook-Pages-Manager-edited-image-297x145.jpg 297w"></p><h3 class="bg-title">Conclusion</h3><p>You’ll notice that at the core of B2B lead generation best practices above is content.
