The Power of Lead Gen: Grow Your Network While You Sleep

Automated lead generation can build and nurture your network of connections even while you catch some well-deserved shut-eye. Let’s explore how you can implement simple lead gen tactics that save you time and help you expand your reach.

What even is lead generation? How is it different from marketing?

At its core, lead generation is the process of finding and attracting the perfect customers and developing interest in your product or service. Marketing is the content (social posts, your website, brochures), but lead generation is that initial connection and the bus that drives people to that content. There are several ways to incorporate lead gen; the traditional, old-school way is to network with people face to face or speak with them over the phone. While this method is the most impactful, it is time-consuming. As a business owner with limited time, have you considered other automated Lead Gen tactics that help you make new connections or aid in nurturing the relationships in your network? Automated lead generation unlocks new opportunities, as it works round the clock to create multiple touchpoints with folks. The best part? These tactics don’t have to be complicated. They produce results and pay back on their investment.

Nurturing leads into customers – the rule of seven

There’s a lot of talk, but the path to successful lead generation lies in thoughtful touches over a period of time. Marketing research shows most people need at least SEVEN impressions before they are moved to make a purchase. Our super smart lead gen tactics help with those impressions – a follow here, a like over there, a text message here, a postcard in the mailbox there. All of this can be carried out while you are running your business or catching some well-deserved sleep. By the time your ideal customer is ready for the next step, they are warmed up and want to cut to the logistics of working together.
