Lead Generation for Financial Services

The financial industry is a dynamic and complex market that plays a key role in the economy and the functioning of society in general. Thanks to the development of technology, the sector is constantly evolving, bringing new financial products and services to the market. Contemporary trends in the industry include the development of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, fintech and the growing role of sustainability and responsible investment.

Like any other industry, it also faces challenges in acquiring b2b leads. One of them is the high competition in the market. Due to the large number of players offering various financial services, finding your niche and standing out from the competition is difficult. Additionally, due to the sensitivity of financial data, building trust with potential B2B customers is crucial, but takes time and effort.

OUR CUSTOMER ACQUISITION METHODS

Cold Email and Linkedin Social Selling for the Financial Industry

What exactly is Cold Email and Linkedin Socia Selling?

Cold Email is a form of communication that involves sending personalized emails to potential customers who have not yet had contact with your company. Through the use of cold email, we are able to reach potential customers whose business profile may require relevant support, such as finance and consulting. This kind of target can look like the following: reaching owners and CFOs, working in the automotive sector, located in Germany, with up to 50 employees.

The second method is LinkedIn Social Selling, i.e. using LinkedIn to attract potential customers. Using this tool, we are able to effectively connect with our target audience by direct messages and posting to build brand image and brand position. In addition, by being active on LinkedIn, financial companies can build trust, which is so important during the purchasing decision for potential customers in this sector.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCE

Case Study of Cold Email Campaign for a Financial Company

Working with a financial company offering debt collection support, we focused on reaching CEOs, CFOs, COOs and Debt Collectors working in 10 specified sectors, also taking into account location.

As part of the campaign, we conducted a needs analysis to better understand the client’s expectations for cooperation. The next step was to precisely define the target and prepare a personalized database of companies, which consisted of carefully selected contacts. We then developed a sequence of personalized Cold Email messages and carried out the mailing. Throughout the project, a dedicated Project Manager coordinated the campaign, making sure the best possible results were achieved.

As a result, we acquired 25 people interested in cooperating with our client.

What questions might a potential customer interested in finance support ask?

During the process of acquiring customers in the financial sector, questions often arise about the services offered. They may be asked while the Cold Email campaign is in progress or during an arranged conversation. It is a good idea to answer them honestly and accurately so that potential customers have a full understanding of your services.

  • What specific financial services do you offer?
  • What benefits can I get from working with your company?
  • Are you able to offer solutions tailored to the specifics of my business?
  • What are the costs of your services and what are the payment terms?
  • Do you have experience in my industry?
  • What are your credentials and past successes in providing financial services?
  • What tools and systems do you use in your work?
  • What is your approach to working with clients?
  • What are the terms of the contract and how long does a typical contract last?
  • What documents and information will be required of me as part of the cooperation?

How to handle hot leads from Cold Email campaigns in the financial industry?

In order to fully maximize the potential of a Cold Email campaign, it is also necessary to take care of effective lead processing. In this case, you can use an outsourced so-called pre-salesman or appoint an internally dedicated salesman to handle leads from Cold Email campaigns.

What is worth keeping in mind when handling a Hot Lead?

First and foremost, it is important to respond quickly to their needs. The longer we delay responding, the more likely the customer will decide to go to a competitor. A good practice is to arrange a short phone call or meeting with the customer to discuss the details of the offer.

During the conversation, ask questions aimed at understanding the customer’s needs and expectations. It is important not only to present your solutions, but also to listen and adapt them to the customer’s individual needs.

Once the conversation is over, it’s a good idea to send a confirmation of the meeting or further information about the offer. It is also important to remember to contact the customer regularly to maintain a positive business relationship with them.
