In B2B lead generation, quality is more important than quantity. However, to provide high-quality results, one has to look through thousands of prospects and explore hundreds of data pools and do this in a short time to gain a competitive edge. How to combine hand-curating leads and research tools to deliver results that meet the client's needs in time?

How we work

At Belkins, lead generation is divided into 3 stages: Research, Outreach, Appointment Setting.

Prior to our work, all clients fill out an Ideal Customer Profile. It's a detailed questionnaire that lets our customers provide all the information on their perfect decision-maker. Therefore, we get a clear idea about the leads we should be looking for.

Competitor data is an essential part of our ICP. Within competitor research, we take all the criteria of an ideal client from the ICP form and look for companies that perfectly match the profile. Not all companies from the Competitor's list are ICP-friendly, but you can always find some suitable leads.

After we gather data, we go through the Quality Assurance stage to deliver 100% verified leads. We study the activities in social media and blogs and investigate backlinks to understand whether the company is currently active. In case the company's blog, which is supposed to post 1 to 2 articles per month, hasn't been updated for 5 months, it's quite likely that the company is not doing well and is not worth connecting with.

After the leads are qualified, the research team finalizes a spreadsheet with contact data for the client's outreach campaign.

Our sales-email copywriter prepares to engage customized templates that appeal specifically to the target company and the SDR sets up a mailout service to send out emails following a predefined schedule.

When the campaign is running, the SDR monitors its performance to make sure emails are delivered to inboxes and not to the spam folder. Our SDRs also manage all the incoming responses and schedule appointments for the customer's sales department.

How we found Serpstat

I knew about Serpstat ever since its initial launch. Back then, the service wasn't named Serpstat, but it already became a huge help to me whenever I needed to qualify leads. As a sales manager working for a B2B company, I needed to find lots of eCommerce sites in need of good SEO. With Serpstat, I was able to gather enough data for making custom proposals much quicker and with a lot more precision than our competitors.

After I started working with Belkins, I remembered about Serpstat and decided to include this tool to our research set.

How we use Serpstat

Since each Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is very detailed and our leads are hand-curated, we use more than 30 data sources to research and deliver 15-20 thousand leads per week. After we started using Serpstat about 8 months ago, this service injected tremendous value into competitor research by letting us easily cover SEO and PPC fields.

Serpstat has been a great help to us during the Quality Assurance stage. At this stage, the team leader verifies the companies and contacts found in accordance with ICP. Since the final result is our main goal, we evaluate even 100% ICP-compliant leads.
