Summary: Digital marketing, specifically search engine optimization (SEO), can generate up to 250% more leads than outside sales. The effectiveness of each method depends on the type of product or service being marketed. For products that require education and awareness, outside sales can be more viable. However, for mature products or services, digital marketing is more cost-effective and can provide consistent and stable results. Digital marketing can serve as a sales role and supercharge the power of a sales team. It is especially valuable for small companies with limited time and resources.
