Growing a Patient Engagement and Education company isn’t easy. You need the ideal people to build your product, market it, and sell it. Then you need the right process to take the business to the next level. Instead of B2B companies using tired marketing and sales strategies like referrals, collaborations, lists, trade shows, and sales emails, they need to find new methods to grow. Offering options to people in the healthcare industry is no exception.
That’s where the new process of bringing in ideal clients comes in, called “Inbound” marketing and sales (or “smarketing”).
More and more companies are starting to use the Inbound approach as a component of their marketing and sales strategies. According to a current State of Inbound Report by Hubspot, companies are three times more likely to observe greater ROI using Inbound methods over traditional marketing and sales strategies. Inbound strategies have many benefits, like:
Here are 4 B2B firms that scaled their businesses by using Inbound:
Flex-a-Seal is a company that develops and makes mechanical seals for commercial pumps.

The company redesigned the business’s website and optimize it for internet search using relevant keywords. This helped the website rank higher and boosted their organic web traffic by more than 95%. The Inbound firm also developed free suggestions forms that site visitors to the Flex-a-Seal website could download and install in exchange for contact information. This strategy created more than 50 qualified leads in four months.
Flex-a-Seal also has a factory in Brazil and wanted to increase their sales in the South American market. The Inbound firm developed flexaseal.mx, a microsite that targeted Spanish-speaking customers. This helped produce more leads in various Latin American countries and boosted Flex-a-Seal’s sales by 400%.
Beyond their website, Flex-a-Seal wanted to get even more leads using social media.

As an outcome, Flex-a-Seal increased their LinkedIn followers by 800% and developed themselves as an authority in the industry.
