Lead Generation Ideas:  5 Creative Ways to Generate Leads with Phonexa

Whether you’re a publisher, advertiser, affiliate network, or any other type of performance marketer, there’s no doubt that lead generation is the backbone of your business. It’s also true that, if you’ve been in this business for a while, you might have exhausted your lead generation potential, looking for new, unconventional lead generation ideas that can grow your ROI.

This is where Phonexa shines: data-driven lead generation. Math instead of guesswork.

Our enterprise-grade performance marketing platform enables data-driven lead generation for large businesses – strategies you were likely missing out on all along because you weren’t using lead and phone call tracking and analytics insights to the fullest (or not having access to them in the first place).

It’s no secret that online marketing and lead generation are now relying on data rather than guesswork. Companies are trying to understand who their leads or phone calls are, where they are coming from, why they engage or disengage, and what triggers conversion and sales. The good news is that with Phonexa, you can uncover all of that on one platform.

“Whenever we see a client using a tooling system that makes them have to do something manual, we try and build a solution for them – that’s how we’ve ended up with eight pieces of software under one roof. Our perfect customers are media buyers, performance marketers, advertisers, carriers – anyone in the affiliate marketing or the lead generation space that’s looking to optimize their journeys, media buying budgets, spend, and make sure they are delivering the best service to consumers while also optimizing their ROI at all times.” – David Pickard, CEO at Phonexa, from the Pioneering Pay-Per-Call Excellence webinar

Conventional vs. Creative Lead Generation Strategies: Why Phonexa Makes a Difference

Overall, there are three major ways to acquire leads or phone calls for your business: generate them using your earned media (your website, blog, social media platforms, etc.), paid advertising, or buy them from affiliate networks or lead generators. If you’re a publisher, then your lead generation strategies are reduced to the former two unless you’re into lead flipping.

Without any further ado, let’s explore the best ways to generate leads with Phonexa.

Lead Generation Idea №1: In-Depth Lead Tracking throughout the Customer Journey

Generating your first leads can be quite complex, so you have to make sure you get the most out of the customers who go through your marketing funnel. Whether you’re generating leads organically for your own business, acquiring leads from lead generators, generating leads for sale, or managing lead flows as an affiliate network, the number one tool you need is lead tracking.

End-to-end leads tracking gives you a chance to learn everything about your customers: where they are coming from, how they interact at every touchpoint, and what you should do to generate and convert more customers. And that’s quite easy to do with Phonexa’s real-time call tracking and distribution module LMS Sync, which uncovers in-depth marketing insights into your leads as they move down your marketing funnel.

Here are some of the lead details you can get access to with LMS Sync:

• Performance metrics: revenue, earnings, leads sold, EPL, buyer total, acceptance rate, etc.
• Publisher- and advertiser-level metrics: leads posted, sold, rejected, etc.
• Lead quality, tier, and whether a redirect took place

From a comprehensive, customizable dashboard with the most essential metrics to granular analytics by marketing channel and partner, you can collect hundreds of data points and plug it all into your lead distribution flow, which you can also build and manage with LMS Sync.

Lead Generation Idea №2: Optimizing Lead Distribution

How can lead distribution optimization affect lead generation if you’re distributing already generated leads? There are a few pathways. For example, if you’re an affiliate network, connecting leads to optimal buyers will grow your reputation and help increase lead flows over time.

Likewise, if you’re a larger advertiser, a well-thought-out lead distribution can potentially allow you to optimize workload and scale lead generation. For instance, through lead distribution optimization, you’ll be able to connect your most valuable leads to your best-performing agents, or any other lead flow that works for specific campaigns and your business in general.

Lead Generation Idea №3: Use All Lead Generation Channels within a Single Lead Gen Strategy

One of the best things with Phonexa is that you can track leads and phone calls from top to bottom – say, from an ad click to form submission to making a call and beyond – and these omnichannel insights to craft an optimal customer journey in real-time based on the customer’s demographics, psychographics, or firmographics, as well as their engagement history and behavior.

For example, if you’re using LMS Sync, our core module for lead tracking, distribution, and analytics, you can:

• Bring the most essential campaign data to the main dashboard to get an overarching perspective of your lead generation or acquisition campaigns
• Track leads by sources, campaign, date, and many other metrics to double down on the most impactful lead generation strategies and cut out underperformers
• Learn at which stage and why your leads were rejected, if any; for example, it could be an IVR rejection, or a customer may terminate the call, or else

Most importantly, every data item you’ve unlocked with LMS Sync can also be used by Call Logic, E-Delivery, or any other feature within Phonexa’s performance marketing software suite. This gives you a more holistic view of the customer journey and the ability to follow up on leads and phone calls that don’t convert on the first try, as well as to ensure every consumer is treated to the best of your abilities at all times. And you improve as you collect more data.

Lead Generation Idea №4: Sieving Out Low-Quality Leads as Early as Possible

In any lead generation strategy, one of the most important decisions is whether to proceed with the lead or discard it. When you’re handling hundreds and thousands of leads daily, there’s only one way to separate good leads from bad leads – by screening them in real-time before they are in your marketing funnel. This way, you can focus on the highest-quality leads and also avoid spending time on leads and phone calls that are unlikely to convert.

Phonexa enables real-time lead and phone call screening with iClear, a feature that allows you to run quick yet exhaustive checks on consumers, validating and verifying details such as email address, IP address, phone number, device, identity, background, and more, including fraud signals. At the same time, you can choose only the checks you need to optimize spending and speed up the lead acquisition time, especially if you’re in a competitive market where acquisition speed matters.

For lead buyers, you can use iClear synchronously and asynchronously:

• Synchronous lead and phone call verification puts the lead acquisition process on hold until verification is complete. Then, lead and phone calls that pass verification are accepted, and those that fail to meet the qualification requirement are rejected.
• Asynchronous lead and phone call verification doesn’t put the lead acquisition process on pause, running in the background while the lead or phone call is being acquired. Asynchronous lead and phone call verification might give you an advantage if you’re competing with other companies for consumers.

Get started with Phonexa to grow the quality of your leads and phone calls with real-time and strategic screening.

Lead Generation Idea №5: Expanding into New Markets and Audiences with Predictive Modeling

One of the most impressive things you can do with Phonexa is use our predictive modeling software to simulate lead generation campaigns at no cost, then implement the winners. For example, if you’re generating leads with paid advertising, you can explore various platforms, audiences, and timing options, running simulations repeatedly until the best setup is found.
