Difference in Inbound and Outbound Team To Incoming Lead – See it


Difference in Inbound and outbound team for Lead – see it

Inbound lead come from web form through social, SEO, paid campaign etc. this lead we give to Outbound Team for closure, they are truly close or loose. Let’s discuss...

Suppose inbound lead coming through the web form via social, direct traffic etc. 

Sales Teams have already lots of jobs OR responsibilities like:

  1. Tele-Calling to CMO, CEO, Marketing person for set a meeting for  VP from Data collected by MR.
  2. Make a follow-up email to the targeted Executive person
  3. Sale person or BDM just follow a list by Or gather by  MR and VR
  4. such as inbound lead qualification, outbound prospecting, closing, or account management

Inbound leads mean visitors find us from a search engine, social brands of our products, directly enter our web address etc., this is unique visitor – leads – because we don’t call via sales person, don’t follow-up. Don’t make dare to give this inbound lead to sales executive. They treat like as a normal data, don’t give importance in result we lose it.

Why I suggest you, 
  1. They answer OR they just follow – why we follow this Inbound Leads ( This is not tele-verified, customized ) 
  2. Salespeople had many responsibilities like closers close, prospector’s prospect, etc.  Focus your salespeople to allow them to become experts in own field -- @ inbound qualification, closing, prospecting etc.
  3. The Success rate for this  Leads to closure means Business ROI – 40%



Are you ready for creating Two teams – 

One for Inbound leads – to bear word like “verification, calling, and leading convert to Business ROI”

Another, its daily basis calling from picking database from the Company.

A. Inbound Lead marketing leads coming through the website via sources like marketing campaign, emailing, search engine marketing, or organic word-of-mouth.

B. Outbound marketing is part of cold call & gather meeting for a VP to closure leads. Sales people continuously make a call & they have targeted for monthly leads for commission in some firms. So don’t dare to do this. You loss precious client or promoters.
Best of luck

Hey I have gone through your blog and I would like to share my views on this as mentioned in your blog that we need to differentiate between the inbound/outbound teams for incoming lead. I would not agree on it because sales/business development teams are the one who are responsible for revenue generation for the company and all the marketing activities are carried out for branding,brand positioning etc but the end result has to be revenue generation. Its better to keep one sales/business development team.

Please find some of the suggestion which can help sales/BD Team to do faster closures.


*Lead nurturing is very important to understand and maintain the sales pipelines and closures.

*it is very important to differentiate between the MQL(Marketing qualified leads) and SQL(Sales qualified leads).

* Incoming leads helps you to understand the needs and wants of the prospect and after doing the BANT/MEDDIC analysis we can further classify them into MQL or SQL.

*Even for the incoming leads from marketing campaigns we should have some threshold set for the no of hits we get for our marketing campaigns which can further helps us for classify them to MQL/SQL.

*we can keep the track of the hits which we get on our campaigns through the marketing automation tools and CRM.

So it is always better to have one sales/business development team to take care of lead generation as well as incoming leads which will help in generating more revenue for the company and maximizing ROI and meeting SLAs.
