Share
In our previous article, we explored the importance of data-driven lead generation in the concrete industry. Today, we're going to dive deeper into the key metrics and benchmarks that concrete businesses should track to optimize their lead generation efforts.
Lead Volume: The Foundation of Lead Generation
Lead volume is the number of leads generated within a specific timeframe (e.g., monthly, quarterly). This metric is essential for understanding the overall performance of your lead generation efforts. Aim for:
-
50-100 leads per month for small to medium-sized concrete businesses
-
100-200 leads per month for larger concrete businesses
Lead Quality: The Key to Conversion
Lead quality refers to the percentage of leads that meet your ideal customer criteria (e.g., location, project type, budget). High-quality leads are more likely to convert into paying customers. Aim for:
-
70-80% of leads to meet your ideal customer criteria
Conversion Rate: The Ultimate Goal
Conversion rate is the percentage of leads that become paying customers. This metric is crucial for measuring the effectiveness of your lead generation efforts. Aim for:
-
20-30% of leads to convert into paying customers
Cost Per Lead (CPL): The Cost of Acquisition
CPL is the cost of generating one lead, including marketing expenses and labor costs. This metric helps you understand the efficiency of your lead generation efforts. Aim for:
-
$50-$100 per lead
Return on Investment (ROI): The Bottom Line
ROI is the revenue generated by leads compared to the cost of lead generation. This metric is essential for measuring the financial impact of your lead generation efforts. Aim for:
-
3:1 to 5:1 (for every dollar spent on lead generation, generate three to five dollars in revenue)

Lead response time: the time it takes to respond to leads
