Sales Leads Data Cleansing Challenges In Singapore


Data cleansing and verification is not that much of a hard job in Singapore. I mean, all you need is to have a business list to use and you can go ahead and check on the contacts listed there. Of course, I am just saying this, assuming that you have the time and the resources to do just that. But is that not something you actually lack? Let us face it, generating sales leads is no small task, and the rate of success that you could have is pretty low. B2B lead generation can be hard, mainly because the information that you have is not that accurate.

Now, that could be a real problem for companies here in Singapore. Remember, this country is the center of finance and business in Southeast Asian region. It attracts a lot of businesses and investors, which would also mean that it would become a melting pot of cultures, languages, and people. If you want to be more successful in your B2B appointment setting efforts, you need to have a calling list that is accurate, updated, as well as informative enough for those who wants to get in touch with potential customers. In any case, you should make an effort to have a clean database of business prospects to contact. But what could be your challenges in this regard?
  
  1. Always consider the culture – if you think that Singaporean companies are the same, you should think again. Each company has its own corporate and social culture that is unique to itself. Matching your B2B lead generation campaign with the specific culture will most likely improve your rate of success. You should do well with that.
  2. Be local – even if you are an international business, or your business prospects are international, remember that you are going for a company that employs, or is led, by locals. You must be able to put in a local flavor in your marketing process if you want to get a positive result. Yes, that may be tricky, if you do not have an idea, but it can be done once you have done your homework.
  3. Work with skilled translators – it is one thing to use translation programs to interpret one or two words, but you need a skilled translator if you are planning to communicate or negotiate with your business prospects. Translators are also pretty nifty in data cleansing, since they would be able to get more information if they use the local language.
  4. Do your homework – really this is one part that many marketers fail to do these days. While it may be true that you can have all the information you need through the internet, nothing beats an actual call to your prospects, understanding what their problems are, as well as looking up solutions and answers through different channels. You would want to have all the information available to be useful in verifying details.

Do these tips, and it would not be hard to get your sales leads in Singapore right.
