Challenges faced by Casas Roble
When Casas Roble decided to start working with Dinterweb in July 2019, it had three main clear needs:
Position the projects above the competition and turn the website into a source of qualified sales opportunities
Up to that point, demand generation was carried out through traditional marketing strategies and lead ad campaigns on social media. However, it was necessary to transform the website into a powerful tool for capturing qualified leads.
Reduce lead disqualification rates and optimize efforts in lead generation, qualification, and contact follow-up.
The sales team was receiving leads with high disqualification rates, resulting in a loss of resources and time. It was crucial to align the efforts in lead generation, qualification, and contact follow-up to improve efficiency and maximize sales opportunities.
Implement a CRM to obtain reliable data and make decisions based on accurate information
It was essential to have a CRM that facilitated the storage and tracking of lead data. This would allow having reliable information about the quantity, quality, origin, and management of leads, providing a solid foundation for informed decision-making.
Dinterweb: strategic partner of Casas Roble
Understanding that the Casas Roble team was in a tool and management deficit, Dinterweb decided to implement an Inbound strategy focused on 6 elements:
Alignment between Marketing and Sales
- The buyer persona and the characteristics of the marketing qualified lead for each project were defined, and the automation of this qualification was implemented using Marketing Hub Pro.
- The automation of the delivery of MQL to the sales team was carried out using Marketing Hub Pro and Sales Hub Pro.
- A Service Level Agreement was established to ensure the follow-up of everything agreed upon. This measure significantly reduced lead response times and ensured that sales representatives only received genuinely qualified leads.
Sales Enablement
To successfully migrate Casas Roble's 4 sales teams from spreadsheets to the HubSpot CRM, it was also necessary to:
- Train representatives in the use of Sales Hub Pro.
- Train marketing and sales management to monitor the performance of their efforts in HubSpot.
- Create sales content: templates, sequences, pages, master plans, and software that would generate formalization documents, taking customer data from HubSpot via API.
Quick Win Campaigns with New Projects
For the launch of the two new real estate projects in August and November 2019, optimized landing pages were developed with the aim of ensuring that audiences, upon seeing traditional advertising or updates in the media, and when searching on Google or social media, could find the projects.
Thanks to a quick positioning of the pages in search results, it was possible to maximize the return on investment in both traditional and digital media.
Conversational Marketing
Chatbots were implemented on both the website and Facebook Messenger, configured so that prospects could qualify themselves while interacting with the bot.
Renovation of the Casas Roble Website
The casasroble.com website was renovated, taking into account the buyer personas of each project. Concise and clear journeys were designed to make it easy for users to find relevant information about the residential properties.
Furthermore, landing pages were built for each project using the HubSpot CMS, ensuring high performance in terms of loading speed and optimization for search engines (SEO).
Additionally, there was an identified opportunity to improve the relevance of the Grupo Roble website in terms of generating traffic and contacts for Casas Roble. However, at that time, the site was not optimized to achieve this goal. Therefore, the task of renovating the website was undertaken to maximize its potential.
Technical SEO and Topic Clusters
Sets of topics tailored to the buyer personas of different projects were worked on, each with a personalized value offer such as ebooks, quizzes, guides, and infographics.
Contact generation through these topic clusters led to the implementation of highly effective automated email nurturing flows throughout the buyer's journey. These flows were triggered based on the content consumed by the user and the information provided.
Among the most successful content in terms of conversion rate is a quiz that helps determine whether it is better to buy or rent a home, with a conversion rate exceeding 20% through organic sources. Depending on the information users provide about their family finances, they are offered general recommendations and additional content suitable for their situation.
Results of a successful inbound strategy implementation
1. Improvements in response times
2. Effective use of the HubSpot CRM by the sales team since August 2019.
3. Contact generation through landing pages for 2 of the projects in El Salvador.
- Paseo del Prado
- Altos Tower
4. Use of chatbots for conversational marketing.
5. Overall results of email marketing, with over 60 thousand emails sent.
6. Positioning of keywords in both El Salvador and Panama.
After paid advertisements, the first organic result is from Grupo Roble.
7. Generation of qualified leads on the website.
In a span of 23 months, Grupo Roble managed to capture over 17,000 Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL) and finalized more than 600 reservations for houses and apartments. The success was evident as the apartment towers Altos Tower, Panorama Tower, and San Francisco Tower were completely sold out. Furthermore, thanks to the collaboration between HubSpot and Dinterweb, they are on the verge of initiating a new apartment project.
This notable achievement occurred when one of the most influential real estate companies in Central America migrated its sales team to the HubSpot CRM. This transition empowered their commercial efforts and achieved a rapid market position with the two new real estate projects through an effective Inbound strategy.
