How We Build Lead Generation for the Loop
Lead generation strategy for Loop organizations begins with a prospect universe and channel design session. We define the specific prospect audience the organization is trying to reach, the specific triggers that create the need for the organization's services, and the channels through which the prospect universe is most likely to encounter and respond to the organization's outreach. For a LaSalle Street litigation firm, the prospect universe might be general counsel at Chicago-area companies with active litigation exposure and the channels are search-optimized content, Chicago-area legal networking events, and LinkedIn presence.
Content and outreach infrastructure follows the strategy session. Lead generation for Loop professional organizations requires content that demonstrates expertise and earns prospective client attention: client alerts, white papers, research reports, and thought leadership articles that give prospects a reason to engage with the firm before they have a specific matter in need. The outreach infrastructure distributes this content to the prospect universe through the appropriate channels.
Qualification and routing connects generated inquiry to the appropriate follow-up. Not all inquiries are equal quality. Lead generation infrastructure includes the qualification step that identifies which inquiries represent genuine prospective clients and routes them to the appropriate business developer. For a LaSalle Street law firm, the qualification step identifies the matter type, the urgency, and the approximate scope before the inquiry reaches the responsible attorney.
