How It All Began 

Shortlist Marketing began as a telemarketing agency in 2012. Although the company no longer operates like one, the telephone remains a crucial tool in its operations, supporting our Lead Generation and Lead Nurture campaigns. This strategic use of the telephone, combined with other refined channels, ensures the delivery of high-quality and well-qualified prospects to your sales funnel. 

 

Founders 

Phil Richardson, our founder, has been involved in Lead Generation since the late 90s. With extensive experience in Sales & Marketing across Software industries, Phil recognised the inefficiencies of low-quality leads and dedicated himself to developing a high-qualification approach that ensures better results and brings value to our clients.

Let us help you build a stronger, more effective sales pipeline so your team can focus on what they do best – closing deals. 

 

Intent Conversion

Intent data is the most valuable type of data in the market because it consists of organisations that have already understood their pains and are actively searching for a solution - this is why it's vital you know how to convert it. 

Our Intent Conversion service makes the most out of your intent data by utilising your first-party and third-party intent, including web visits and relevant searches, along with other triggers like form submissions and content downloads.  

Using our proven methodology, we'll effectively nurture and engage with relevant stakeholders until they are truly sales-ready, qualifying and converting them into sales-ready opportunities or long-term pipelines.

Lead Nurture 

Sales teams don't always have the time and resources to qualify and nurture all the leads that come from marketing.  

But here's the thing: MQLs should be the backbone of any sales pipeline. A lot of time, effort, and expense go into generating these leads, making them a vital source of potential sales. 

That's where we come in. Our Lead Nurture takes all the pain away, handling the initial engagement and nurturing of MQLs, freeing your sales team to do what they do best: closing deals
