How and When to Use Inbound and Outbound Lead Generation

Inbound v Outbound Lead Generation

In this always-on era, it has never been more important for marketers to find the right lead generation mix in order to bring in prospects and convert them to customers. While interruption-based outbound lead generation requires marketers to reach out to their target audience and spread a brand’s messages in various forms, permission-based inbound lead generation is designed to put the brand in front of audiences who are already looking for a solution using digital channels.

Both inbound and outbound lead generation have their places in a marketer’s toolbox: 76% of marketers in North America in 2017 said they used inbound marketing as their primary strategy, while 68% of marketers said paid advertising is an “extremely important” part of their overall strategy.
