Eatontown, NJ –EAS LeadGen, a lead generation and appointment setting company specializing in setting face-to-face appointments with qualified prospects for sales organizations selling business-to-business, launched an online survey to find out how professionals gain new clients. This survey proved the point that face-to-face meetings are the most effective way to gain new clients.
EAS LeadGen posted the question: “As a professional, what is the most effective way to gain new clients?†The respondents were given a choice of five categories to choose from, on activities that would help them gain new clients. The following is a list of activities that they chose from: Meet Prospects in Person, Talk to them via Phone, Email Prospects, Follow-up with Prospects over Time, and Speak to Groups at Conferences/Trade Shows. In the era of unpersonalized media, emails, texting, Twittering and voice mails, the activity that surpassed the others by far was meeting the prospect in person. This is the number one choice by professionals in the Business Development, Sales, Marketing and Accounting industries. Human Resources chose to Follow-up with Prospects over Time and the Academic sector chose to Speak to Groups at Conferences.
Looking at the survey as a whole – 52% chose to Meet with Prospects in Person, 26% chose to Speak to Prospects at a Conference, 15% chose to Follow-up with Prospects over Time, and 5% chose to Contact Prospect by Phone. The survey was also segmented by gender, which females split in thirds between Meeting in Person, Talking on the Phone and Following-up over time. However, 71% of male respondents chose to Meet Prospects in Person, with 29% of the respondents choosing to Speak at a Conference.
After reviewing the results, the value of a face-to-face meeting outweighs other activities to gain new clients.
