The Healthplan industry is an old boys club, this industry has traditionally bought through referrals. Changes in the market place along with technological advancements are driving big disruptions in the industry and buying behavior.
Here are 5 secrets to generating leads for your services and solutions for the Payer Industry
1. Content is Still the King
Executives in Health Plans really are focusing on content that is useful. If you can put benefits or outcomes first and then the solution, you are in the hunt. Create good authentic content that really outlines the benefits or outcomes that your solution/service has delivered to clients. Nothing like a client case study.
2. Let Clients Speak for You
Nothing screams your product, service or solution like a client speaking about it. Get a client to talk about your offering – video, audio or case study blog. Your marketing teams really need to focus on creating content that has enough client context.
3. Make your Content Go Viral
What is the use of the content that no one reads? You need to find the right channel to promote the content, case studies or client speak. Targeting the Health Plan audience is tricky, there are not many publications, lists that you can rely on that will give you good ROI. The best one with the greatest presence in Health Plans is DistilNFO Health Plan Publication (www.distilnfo.com/payer). Get their Media Kit and plan your campaign
4. Run Your Own Personalized Campaigns
