Approach

Transform marketing strategy into a driver of real business results.

Many organizations build marketing strategies around stakeholder priorities without connecting those efforts to measurable business outcomes. The risk is a strategy that generates activity without creating tangible results. Ironpaper focuses on building marketing programs that drive results that matter to the business: generating qualified leads that become sales opportunities.

Improving conversion rate across the buyer’s journey

Conversion rates are crucial to measuring and proving the success of marketing efforts toward business ROI. For many B2B organizations, the problem isn’t necessarily lead volume. It’s making sure that those leads meet marketing and sales’ aligned definition of what makes a lead qualified to speak to sales.

We help clients improve their marketing-qualified lead (MQL) and sales-qualified lead (SQL) conversion rates from inbound B2B marketing sources by driving short- and long-term strategy, building pilot campaigns to create traction, optimizing messaging based on data and insights, and scaling successful efforts.

Lead generation works better when it starts with buyer intent.

Conversation rate impact

What is a good conversion rate for B2B?

The average conversion rate for B2B organizations is 2-5%, according to Lucky Orange. Conversions can range from email subscribers and content offer downloads to form submissions, MQLs, and SQLs. However, conversion rates can be very different depending on the specific industry, buyer’s journey stage, channel, and other factors.

To determine a good conversion rate, you need to answer two important questions: what is the value of a conversion and who are we converting? For example, an SQL conversion is more valuable than a newsletter subscriber, and they should fit your ideal customer profile (ICP). Ironpaper considers these factors to help our clients drive more opportunities.

How to develop and execute a lead generation strategy.

Qualified pipeline growth starts with aligning on what makes a lead marketing and sales qualified.

Marketing and Sales Alignment

Before B2B organizations can generate marketing and sales-qualified leads, marketing and sales teams must align on what makes a lead qualified for sales.

Understand buyer motivations

B2B buying decisions rarely involve just one person. Organizations must understand and speak to all the different needs of the buying committee members.

Align on Channel Strategy

You shouldn’t rely on just one channel for your lead sourcing. With rising AI usage, growing competition, and changing buyer motivations, B2B organizations need a multi-channel strategy.

Execute, Learn, and Iterate

Don’t launch campaigns and never check in on them. Regularly review their performance, develop insights and takeaways, and implement those findings to improve results.

The Sales-First Buyer Journey

The Buyer Enablement Journey

Lead generation drives continuous learning and buyer intelligence.

Generating qualified leads takes more than just launching campaigns. Ironpaper fine-tunes campaigns to ensure they reach the right audience, speak to buyer motivations, and attract the buyers who actually convert.

That means building content that educates and earns trust, using analysis to understand where engagement is happening and why, and iterating based on what buyer behavior actually shows, not what we assumed.
