Lead generation is a marketing term that refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business' products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activity targeted at generating sales opportunities for a company's sales force. Therefore a lead is correctly described as information regarding or provided by a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. Whereas, generation is one of a myriad of activities that may produce that information and perceived interest.

How Lead Generation Works

The nature of lead generation depends entirely on the decision process of the buyer.
For complex products and services requiring a complex decision process, the keys are identifying the most likely prospects and then educating and qualifying them before deploying more expensive sales resources. The education benefits the buyer; qualification benefits the seller. This gradual lead cultivation process can go on for months and involve several individuals involved in evaluating a solution.

For commodity products, the rendezvous dilemma is one where two parties are seeking each other, but are obscured by time, distance, or attention. In essence there is a set of well-matched candidates for product purchase within a larger set of poorly matched candidates. Those well-matched candidates are what one is seeking to attract or identify in effective lead generation.

Although there are several methodologies and implementations, each involves one of two primary rendezvous strategies: Broadcast or Concentration.

Broadcast involves communicating to a broad set of candidates with the expectation of a statistical response back to the marketer. Advertising is a classic example of broadcast marketing rendezvous.

Concentration involves identifying and creating situations that concentrate well-matched candidates into a broadcast-effective set. Market segmentation and trade shows are classic examples of concentration-marketing rendezvous strategies.

Types of Lead Generation

Lead generation can take on various marketing methodologies:

Broadcast Advertising
Direct Mail
Event or Trade Show marketing
Seminar or Training
Publicity and Public Relations
Whitepapers or Product Literature
Email marketing
Web marketing (Search Engine Optimization or other Internet Media buying)
Telemarketing
Online Lead Generation

Since 2000, an increasing number of sales organizations have been shifting their direct marketing budgets into the online channel. The internet allows for the development of an extremely targeted lead generation campaign offering geographic, demographic, and contextual targeting services.

Although the online channel is growing extremely rapidly, with search marketing and pay per click (PPC) advertising commanding the bulk of advertisers' online budgets, the demand for highly skilled search marketers remains high. Similarly, a number of software tools (such as bid management software) have emerged, allowing individual search marketers to more efficiently manage their paid search campaigns.

Lead Acquisition

Lead Acquisition is one of the most critical activities within the lead generation process. Identifying or attracting a prospective candidate is an expensive and complex task, which becomes even more so if you do not have mechanisms to capture that information for action. The lead acquisition process can take several forms:

Business card
Participant scanner
Inquiry card
Inbound telephone
Email
Web form
