B2B lead generation nowadays

Lead generation vs lead nurturing
Lead generation has been the main objective for every (sales driven) marketing department for decades. Lead nurturing is quite new. What is the difference? Lead generation means capturing new lead information. The definition of a lead is different for every company: we can generate Marketing Qualified Leads: leads that download content assets, but do not request sales contact yet. Or Sales Qualified Leads: these do request for contact with sales. The definition differs per organization. Nonetheless the outcome remains the same: making new numbers.
In lead nurturing you start engaging with these new leads. Earlier on, sales has followed up all leads that entered the CRM system and made no distinction in that, whether it were hot or cold leads. Now, with the rise of for example marketing automation, sales does not need to pick up cold leads anymore. With a marketing automation program you can start warming up leads automatically. By computing a lead score you can choose very efficiently the ideal moment to let sales join the conversation. No more cold leads and wasted expensive time on these from now on!
