Top 5 Infographics of the Week: The Key to Inbound Sales


We just got back from an exciting week in Boston at INBOUND 2014, so we thought there would be no better subject matter for infographics than on inbound marketing and sales. As you might guess, the conference was all about how to utilize inbound marketing for your business to increase the quality of leads to turn them into sales. It was a fun week full of inspiring speakers, thought-provoking educational talks, hands-on lessons, and social happy hours. Since we're feeling so inspired on the topic of inbound, we rounded up 5 of the best infographics on how B2B sales has changed since the advent of inbound.

#4: Inbound Marketing Funnel by First 10 and Smart Insights
  • Content is marketing's last (well, one of the last) opportunities for creativity. 
  • The second stage in the inbound marketing funnel is exploration. The buyer uses search engines, social networks, publishers and blogs to find your content and follow/like your page. This draws people into your content hub.
  • The third stage is decision making. This is the magical place where leads turn into conversions and more time is spent on your site. 
  • The fourth stage is the purchasing process, and the final stage is focused on customer advocacy. The last step is in my opinion the most important. This is where you turn apathetic customers into thrilled customers who want to share and spread the word about the amazingness of your product or service.
