Build a Complete Growth Strategy for Your Startup | DeStor RevOps

Written by Jennifer King | Oct 23, 2024

Landing pages have become a staple in digital marketing. They’re often the first thing a startup builds when launching a new product or running a campaign. And yes, a well-crafted landing page can be a powerful tool—it’s a place to capture leads, promote an offer, or drive signups. But relying solely on a landing page to drive your growth is like expecting a single brick to build a house. It’s a start, but it’s not the whole structure.

At DeStor RevOps, we’ve worked with many startups, founders, and early-stage Web3 projects that have learned this the hard way. A landing page might bring in visitors, but if you don’t have the right strategy to nurture, engage, and convert those visitors into paying customers, you’re missing out on the real potential of your marketing efforts. Let’s dig into why a landing page isn’t enough—and what you need to build a complete growth engine. 

A Landing Page is Just the First Step

A landing page can capture interest, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Think of it as a digital handshake—it’s a way to say hello and introduce what you’re offering. But a handshake alone won’t close a deal. You need a follow-up, a conversation, and a way to guide potential customers through their journey. This is especially true in the Web3 space, where products and services can be complex, and buyers often need time to understand the full value of what you’re offering.

Here’s what a landing page can do:

  • Capture Leads: With an enticing offer like a free trial, eBook, or demo request, a landing page can be great at converting visitors into leads.
  • Promote Offers: It’s an ideal way to promote time-sensitive offers or specific use cases.
  • Drive Traffic: With the right content and SEO, a landing page can attract organic visitors or be a destination for paid ads.

But while a landing page can do these things, it doesn’t do the heavy lifting required to turn those initial leads into loyal customers.

Turning Interest Into Action: What Comes After the Landing Page?

So, what happens after a potential customer fills out a form on your landing page? If the answer is “we’ll get back to you,” you’re already losing valuable momentum. The next step after capturing a lead is just as important—if not more so—than the initial click. This is where many startups stumble, treating landing pages as endpoints rather than entry points into a broader engagement strategy.

A strong RevOps strategy takes those initial sparks of interest and transforms them into a well-lit path that guides potential customers toward conversion. Here’s what you need to make that happen:

  • Automated Nurture Campaigns: After a lead signs up through your landing page, you should have a series of follow-up emails or messages ready to keep them engaged. Use these messages to educate prospects, address common pain points, and show how your solution can help them achieve their goals.
  • Personalized Content: Tailoring your content to the needs and interests of your prospects is key to keeping them engaged. If someone signs up for a whitepaper about decentralized storage, follow up with a case study on how similar businesses benefited from your solution. This keeps the conversation relevant and helps build trust.
  • Seamless Booking Processes: Don’t make prospects jump through hoops to connect with you. Integrate easy-to-use scheduling tools directly on your landing page and follow-up emails. When prospects are ready to talk, they should be able to book a meeting in just a few clicks—no back-and-forth emails required.
  • CRM Integration: Using a CRM like HubSpot allows you to track interactions with your leads, understand where they are in their buying journey, and automate key touch-points. This means that instead of cold leads languishing in your inbox, you have a system that keeps them engaged and moves them closer to becoming paying customers.

Why a Discovery Process is Critical

One of the biggest mistakes startups make is assuming that once a lead signs up, they’re ready to buy. But in reality, most people who fill out a form on a landing page are still in the early stages of their buying journey. They’re curious, but they might not yet understand the full scope of what you offer or how it applies to their unique needs.

This is why having a discovery process is so important. A discovery process allows you to get to know your prospects better, understand their challenges, and demonstrate the specific ways your solution can address their needs. It also helps you position your brand as a trusted advisor—someone who is genuinely interested in solving problems, not just making a sale.

In practice, this could mean offering a complimentary consultation, guiding prospects through a product demo, or even sharing tailored insights based on their industry or pain points. This process builds rapport, establishes credibility, and helps prospects see the value in investing their time (and money) in your solution.

Creating a Frictionless Experience: The Key to Conversions

No matter how good your landing page is, if the process that follows is clunky or confusing, you’ll lose potential customers. This is where DeStor RevOps can make a significant impact. We focus on creating a frictionless experience for prospects from their first click to the final decision-making stage.

Here’s how we do it:

  • Simplifying the Customer Journey: We ensure that your landing page is seamlessly connected to automated follow-ups, personalized email sequences, and clear CTAs that guide prospects toward booking a meeting.
  • Optimizing for Speed: Our expertise in RevOps allows us to eliminate unnecessary steps in the process, so your team spends less time chasing down leads and more time closing deals.
  • Providing Insights and Analytics: With tools like HubSpot, we help you track where prospects drop off, which messages resonate, and how to refine your approach over time.

More Than a Landing Page: Building a Growth Engine

A landing page might capture attention, but it won’t build a lasting connection. Founders who want to scale their Web3 startups need a growth engine that engages prospects, nurtures relationships, and turns curiosity into long-term customers. This requires a strategy that goes beyond first impressions and focuses on creating value at every touchpoint.

At DeStor RevOps, we specialize in helping startups build these complete growth engines. We go beyond just setting up a landing page—we build systems that keep prospects engaged, streamline their path to becoming paying customers, and ultimately help you find product-market fit faster. Our approach is designed for founders who are serious about creating sustainable growth and are ready to invest in strategies that drive real results.

Ready to turn your landing page into a launchpad for growth? Reach out to DeStor RevOps today, and let’s create a strategy that doesn’t just attract clicks, but builds relationships and drives your startup forward.
