How to improve your lead generation – your 8 step checklist to sell more

They live near you, in your house, car, and phone. 

They know your deepest desires – you speak to them often.

Edison Research says they are your voice assistants – Siri, Alexa and many other brands now, more than half of U.S. adults have one. 

Brands are catching on – how can they include their offers within Siri and Alexa answers? 

  • Voice medium presents opportunities for personalisation,
  • Voice is the second-most informative data source,

But privacy legislation upgrades worldwide, IOS privacy opt-ins – have slowed a global rollout. 

The goal – Siri, where is the nearest clothes store – John, currently, there are four stores nearby. One of these is Brand A which has a sale of 50% off – would you like the directions now?

 Every business worldwide has one primary issue – more lead generation.  

I put together a helpful lead generation checklist. 

1) Setting realistic expectations

If you want 400 leads a week, you must match your budget, geographic regions, and channels,

2) Potential buyer profiles

The wrong audience is a primary reason why even the most carefully thought-out lead generation fails.

 3) Data and evidence-based approach –

predictable results within a sensitivity range should be the norm. 

4) Build your data and evidence from at least these three data types

  1. Market data – general habits and characteristics of individual buyers and markets, 
  2. Prospect data – create personalised campaigns,
  3. Feedback data – monitoring data on the effectiveness of your campaigns.

5) Misalignment Between Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing must work as one – not individual silos. It is becoming more common for a leadership role of Revenue Operations, with both sales and marketing reporting to this leadership. 

6) Using only One Medium or the Wrong Ones

Buyers are not exclusively on one platform – nor should your campaigns miss channels. 

You can start lead generation via email, nurture via LinkedIn, retarget via Facebook, support a wide range of organic social channels and use sales discovery calls to drive conversions.

Properly plan what channels you should use, and don’t stick to one, no matter how tempting.

7) Buyer’s Journey Hasn’t Been Mapped Out

Map your potential buyer’s journey in advance of the campaign starting. 

8 ) Is Your Offer Compelling?
