Choose the right route to market

A practical guide to choosing between B2B telesales, appointment setting, lead generation and email marketing.

Four paths branching from a single starting point

Start with the gap in your sales process

Look at the last few deals that progressed and the ones that stalled. Did you struggle to identify the right organisations, reach the right person, secure time with them or move a conversation towards a decision? Each of those problems calls for different work. Buying a list when your account coverage is already strong will leave the real bottleneck intact.

Match the work to the outcome

Lead generation identifies organisations with a credible reason to buy and the people worth engaging. Appointment setting goes a step further by arranging a conversation that meets agreed criteria. Telesales fits offers that a caller can explain and advance by phone. Email marketing helps you share useful material or keep in touch over a longer buying cycle.

Combine channels around the buyer

A specialist software supplier might publish an implementation guide, offer it to relevant contacts where permitted and use phone conversations to learn who owns the project. If a prospect requests a meeting, pass the background and their questions to the person who will run it. Give each channel a clear job and keep contact preferences in one place.

Define a pilot you can learn from

Choose one segment and document the offer, data source, exclusions, contact rules and what counts as success. Agree who handles replies and follow-up. Start with a small enough group that someone can review individual outcomes. Record time spent by your sales team as well as campaign cost, and decide in advance what would justify extending the pilot.

Decide who should run it

Keeping work in-house can make sense when conversations require specialist knowledge and fast access to product colleagues. Outsourcing can add capacity or provide an experienced team for a defined segment. Either approach needs someone inside the business to own the offer, approve changes and review the quality of the opportunities.
