Getting More Leads: The first step!

When I build plans, I first ask what is working great and then build on that. Great first step!

An extremely common request from wonderful people is, “Edward, I need to get more leads!”.

It’s a very logical and reasonable thing to ask as it’s been something I have asked and acted upon many times in my business life.

I have been driving this a lot lately in my own business for many wonderful reasons. My big move right now is growing leads / sales for my Awesome Marketing Vault Mentoring Program so believe me; I get it.

The first step I always say to people is do some key planning / thinking. The first moves I would make with any client and including my own if firstly asking what is working out. If for example someone already is successful in a few areas of Marketing, this is the first place to really look.

A very common answer I get is that people are doing well with say face to face business networking, getting some from Facebook and the odd one from LinkedIn (this once described my results).

In driving more leads, the first thing I did and would recommend is really mastering the areas you already have experience in. That usually gets great leads almost instantly.

When that is working, it’s a win, it drives funding, motivation and energy and then it gives more for more experimental / new areas.

Be it you get into Workshops, Facebook Remarketing, Videos, Live’s or heavy LinkedIn; they are plenty of great strategies to get into.

However, the first place to start is with what’s already working and build on that.

My advice and thinking? Build on what you know before you delve into the new areas to you. If it’s all new to you, just pick the highest odds area and make that work. As time passes you can go more into areas of new greatness.

Do it, love it and of course my friends; win big!
