What does lead generation mean to you? And what difference will it make for your business and to your life if you are able to generate leads round the clock?

The way I like to define lead generation is, “Lead generation is about identifying and nurturing relationship with the right target customer while also demonstrating value and building credibility and trust.” 

In this post, I will be sharing some very important aspects of lead generation.

You should focus on developing a lead generation system which should help you with these goals:

1. Deliver regular high quality leads.
2. Calendar full of appointments with Pre-qualified leads.
3. Automated lead generation system.
4. Multiple lead generation channels.
5. Better conversions leading to better sales and better profits.

Be sure to ensure to invest your resources to build a robust lead generation system so that you get rid of the following emotional challenges that entrepreneurs face with lead generation:

1. Overwhelm.
2. Frustration.
3. Stress.
4. Confusion.
5. Anxiety.

And how to focus on high quality and quantity of pre-qualified leads?

.

Make sure that there is a clear value demonstration and value proposition throughout the lead generation system.

Every step a prospective lead or customer takes through your lead generation funnel should add progressive value to them and take them towards their desired result.

Following are some important pointers to consider:

1. And also the value proposition should be clear and compelling for them.
2. Demonstrate your value and credibility clearly with case studies and testimonials about you, your brand and your offer.
3. Demonstrate clearly how your offer will help them to solve their problems or achieve their goals.
4. Solve their problem to a certain extent with your lead magnet. It may be about information giving them clarity, or a framework which they can apply to achieve their goals, or even a complete solution system which they can apply by themselves (if they already have all the resources).
5. The value offered should be more than the investment you ask them to make. Remember that they are investing time, effort and in some cases money and other resources to consume your lead magnet, etc.
6. Each step should build upon the previous one. Use value stacking wherever possible.
7. And with each and every progressive step, the prospective customer should get closer to their goals and also closer to you, your offer and brand.
8. Help them make clear decisions. Give them as much required information which will help them with decision making.
9. Do not use false urgency or scarcity.

While there are many factors to focus on, there are three major areas to focus on to get the highest quality and quantity of results and leads generated with better cost efficiency. They are:

1. Traffic. You need to have a considerably large amount of traffic that needs to be brought in to your lead generation funnel.
2. Optimized funnel towards conversions. The entire lead generation funnel should be continuously optimized and improved upon to ensure better conversions.
3. Compelling and valuable offer. And the most important aspect is that you should have an irresistible offer. It should be really valuable and compelling for your prospects to buy.

Consider the above as a system. Two major points being the target market and your irresistible offer, and the funnel being the connecting bridge.

It is important to look at it too in this manner to ensure higher conversions and optimizing at each level.

1. If you don’t have traffic, then there are no buyers.
2. If the offer is not compelling enough then the traffic is going to leave.
3. And if the funnel is not optimized then prospects are not going to reach to your offer.

So, work on setting up, managing and optimizing at all three levels regularly. And if resources are permitting, have separate team members and resources allocated to focus on the three areas. Like a team and system specifically focused to generate and drive traffic, a team and system to improve the funnel to increase conversions, and a team and system to optimize and make the offer more valuable and compelling and deliver the value.

Post: Three major areas to focus on for making the most of your lead generation system.

.

One of the most important steps for lead generation is to understand your target market.

Market segmentation is definitely a very important aspect. The following activities are really helpful when it comes to understanding the target market:

1. Market research.
2. Customer profiling.
3. Customer personas or buyer personas.

Take time to go through different customer personas or buyer personas and invest in building your ideal customer avatars. Those are the actual leads to whom you have to reach out to, and attract to do business with.

It is important to understand that within a market there maybe multiple market segments. Business owners is a broad term or market. Business owners doing less than a million dollars, million to 5 million dollars and 5 million dollars and above are three different segments. So, it is important first to identify the different market segments you may have within your broad market.

And once you have understood different segments, it is important to identify who is your clear, target, ideal customer and generate their customer persona.

Customer persona usually consists the details of:

1. Demographics.
2. Psychographics.

Understand the goals, challenges, dreams, fears, aspirations, needs, wants, pain points, etc. about your ideal customer really well. And then customize your lead generation strategy and systems and processes to target to them.

One of the important things to note here is when you focus on your ideal target customer, other market segments may or may not resonate with your offer.

Understand your target market and demonstrate the understanding so well that they are immediately able to resonate and feel that you are able to understand them and their needs much better than others.

Do you want to continue reading about “Understand your target market to succeed with lead generation”?

Post: Understand your target market to succeed with lead generation.

.

The purpose of the lead generation is to generate leads and to do so by keeping the ideal target customer at the center. The by-product of an effective lead generation system is you (as an entrepreneur or business leader) getting high quantity of pre-qualified leads flowing into your system with increased conversions leading to better sales and better profits.

You can use various methods, strategies and techniques for the same:

1. Automated email sequences.
2. Targeted ads through retargeting.
3. Personalized emails and calls wherever applicable.
