If the main idea of inbound marketing is to get your potential customers to become clients, how do you know you have succeeded? You have people hopping on and off your website or your Facebook page and Twitter all day, but that doesn’t mean success. You can look at all the fancy analytics your heart desires, but that doesn’t mean success either. You know you have succeeded when your potential customers become paying clients. You know that you can get them to do that using outbound marketing methods where you chase them down and yell at them between segments of their favorite shows.
