ISB Profile Evaluation - Tools for B-School Profile Evaluation

Hello Eksha22,

We see a whole lot of merits in your profile - from your achievements at EY to starting your own business (even if it had to be discontinued). If you can bring everything together through a strong narrative, we see you have a good chance of getting an interview call. Of course, we would have liked to see a higher GMAT score as your current score is under the average at ISB.

Good luck!

How to Use Lead Generation to Increase Your Leads When you think about lead generation, there are many different methods that you can use to reach potential customers. Some are better suited for certain business types than others, but they all share the same goal: to generate new leads. Regardless of which method you choose to use, your efforts will yield results. Here are a few examples of ways to increase your leads: Content marketing One of the most effective ways to increase sales leads is through content marketing. By creating valuable content for your visitors, you can attract new prospects to your website and convert them into customers. This type of marketing can help your company position itself as an industry expert and attract customers at a premium price. It can also increase ROI since leads that trust your brand are more likely to become customers. According to HubSpot, 96% of B2B lead buyers look for high-quality content before speaking to a sales representative. Once you've determined your audience, you can plan out your content marketing strategy for the coming year. It's also a good idea to analyze your competition's content to see what types of content will best convert your leads. The right approach to content marketing for lead generation is to make sure your content is targeted toward your audience's needs and interests. For example, if your target audience is business professionals, then it's likely that they're already familiar with your company and your industry. Paid advertising Paid advertising for lead generation has many benefits. This method uses pay-per-click (PPC) ads to target potential customers. Pay-per-click advertising is one of the most effective forms of paid advertising, as you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. This type of advertising is highly targeted, and offers a higher level of flexibility and value than traditional billboards and television channels. In addition, you can use Facebook and Twitter to broaden your customer base. Paid advertising for lead generation may also be used to create brand awareness and promote special offers or events. Creating a company blog can help engage prospects and foster a connection. Using a blog can also boost your SEO campaign. However, it is imperative to properly write, structure, and promote your blog. Paid advertising, such as pay-per-click (PPC), can help your brand reach a new audience almost instantly. PPC also allows you to reach users who are actively searching for what you have to offer. Social media Using social media for lead generation can be a great way to increase your brand's exposure and reach. You can easily see what your followers are interested in, as well as which content to post when. This will help you to increase your leads and boost sales. There are several different ways you can use social media for lead generation, and it's not difficult to see why it's becoming so popular. Let's take a look at some of them. One of the most popular ways to generate leads through social media is by leveraging Instagram. You can follow millions of people, and one-third of those accounts will follow your business. Instagram also has a new feature called "instagram stories," which allows you to capture customer information. This is a much better way to generate leads than traditional bio links. Plus, people can swipe through your stories instead of clicking through your bio link.

Thanks for your insights. I'll defer my plan by another year and work on my profile

Hello Akshay1999,

Hope this finds you well.

You have a strong academic background, decent work experience, and fine extra-curricular activities. These are bound to help you strengthen your case. The GRE is a bit under the average (converting to about a 700 on the GMAT). If you can work on improving your GPA by a few points and put forth compelling essays, you will stand a strong chance at making it.

Good luck!

Hello ritingupta2010,

Thanks for writing in.

Details with regard to your achievements at work as well as your career goals are not present in your post.

While no score can guarantee an interview call, generally speaking, you should aim for a score in excess of 710 to have a competitive chance; needless to say, the higher the better.

All the best!

Hello dontknowwho,

Thanks for writing in.

How you performed at college, academically is not mentioned in your post. Assuming you did decently well, and the fact that you also participated in a number of activities beyond core academics is going to give you a good chance. The internship experience is also value-adding; of course, a lot will depend on how you bring together everything in the application through your essays.

For a detailed profile evaluation, please feel free to reach out to us.

All the best!
