Debt Settlement Leads

The current recession is making debt settlement leads look more like a common phone book. It seems that nearly everyone is in need of some credit or debt management assistance. That means those debt leads you are buying are increasingly valuable if you have a good marketing plan.

Turning Debt Leads Into Clients

A marketing plan? You thought you outsourced marketing when you bought those aged debt settlement leads. Wrong. You bought customers with intent and need, but they responded to someone else’s marketing.

The smart debt settlement company embraces that customer interest as an opportunity. However, they know that it won’t stick without a little work. You need to make a personal effort to make that client really yours.

Introduce them to your debt settlement company, give them confidence that you will be responsive, and build a trusting relationship that assures them you are here to help.

Marketing Debt Solutions

One of the quickest ways to convert aged debt leads into viable prospects is to turn the marketing back on. Chances are these clients were either dropped or have been ignored for some extended period of time. That means you need to re-engage them.

I think the best approach is to start a value-based education email campaign. This means you need to start by introducing yourself and the company. And offering them educational content with no strings attached.

Here are a few examples:

• Free tips on credit repair, maybe even attach a short e-book
• A getting started guide on negotiating with creditors
• Brief outline on organizing your total debt picture

These no-obligation educational content pieces are powerful marketing tools. They will help your prospective debt clients gain confidence in getting help and will drive them to you with questions.

Taking the Long View on Sales

As you all know debt settlement solutions are typically long processes. People in debt trouble have been beaten down, are often in denial, and rarely believe there is hope. That is why it is critical to take the long view on each of these leads, which means working in volume and automating your marketing.

This is certain to bring a steady flow of conversions into you pipeline and maximize the people you can help free from suffocating debt burdens.
