Gmail Inbounds

Question

how many times will you reach out calling and emailing gmail.com leads that came inbound? we get a decent amount of them. I wanted to block the gmail domain and require a business email, but CEO said no. Our CEO said maybe people don't want us to know their company and are shielding their identity until they get info they want. Does your company require business email on form fills and demo requests? any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Depends, defence sector loves using personal gmail because it doesn't get blocked but they can chat to new vendors...

Answer

I've pushed and gotten freemail domains blocked at a couple of places. For complex situations it's basically all garbage. And we were getting a TON of spam that bogging shit down.

Answer

I would agree with the CEO. but i would treat them as lower intent leads for sure.

Answer

Yes we require it

Answer

Interesting topic. We get high quality ones with business emails but personal emails are allowed for sure

Answer

All leads are created equal- except when they’re not. Alternative low-priority workflow and language can be helpful in getting them out of your hair.

Answer

We get them but we keep them as low priority. Mostly SPAM. Wouldn't want to spend a lot of time figuring out who the POC is in this case.

Answer

Im with the depends crew. If you are b2b and usually a high value transaction then I am in favour of blocking gmail domains as it almost always garbage enquiries. If you are more transactional, have some b2c crossover or is low value deals where small businesses are frequent clients then gmail is likely relevant.
