It takes more than inbound to engage your Qualified A+ Leads.

Are you trying to go after only A+ prospects? Are you tired of all the B and C clients?

This is understandable. I too only want to spend my time with quality people that I can really help. Just because you can help them though does not make them a good fit. Let’s say you have a Peak 90 list of your top A+ prospective clients… this doesn’t mean you are going to reach these people, that they are a good fit or interested in you. Sure you may have a website, heck you may even have a linkedin profile and a blog. If your Peak 90 do not read or subscribe to your blog or they aren’t connected to you on Linkedin, what does it matter? You might as well save you time and money.

Marketing Strategy: What are you doing to build your blog following?

You’re doing a great job driving traffic to your website. People read your blog, but how many subscribe?

Cold Calling or Inbound Marketing? or maybe BOTH!

Somehow today I ran across an article entiteld:

Why Cold Calling Is A Waste Of Time (And What You Should Be Doing Instead)

You can read it here. Anyhow, I found it kind of funny for two reasons: 1. I just finished a post about a Brandwise article being promoted in Spain and now I am promoting an article from Ireland, and 2. because this article shares many of Hubspot’s theories on inbound marketing. So this article sounded a little canned to me, but none the-less it is a good article.
