2. How to Generate More Leads
We now know how important lead generation is, and what other marketers are doing, but we also need to understand the process. We need to understand the customer journey so that we can create a customised experience from the very first interaction.
Let’s review the actual components of the lead generation process:
-
Strangers
They have no idea who you are and have never heard of your company.
-
Visitors:
They have discovered your business through one of your marketing channels, whether that’s your website, blog or social media pages. On all these marketing channels, you should have clear and concise information that will inform them all about how AMAZING you are.
-
Call-to-Action (CTA):
A CTA is an image, button or message that will direct them clearly to a landing page where they will exchange their details for more information. This might be a piece of downloadable content or to sign up for a free trial. You must get their name and email address while completing the CTA.
-
Landing Page:
A separate and specific webpage that is related directly to the CTA. They will have come here for a definite purpose. It can be used for several reasons; however, one of its most common uses is to capture leads.
-
Forms
Typically found on a landing page, they will consist of a series of fields that will collect your potential customer’s information. Never ask for too much information, as they might get suspicious, only ask for what you need. By registering their name and email address, you can contact them again and direct your offer to them personally.
-
Offer
The offer is the piece of content or coupon they are receiving in exchange for their data. This needs to be engaging, and something that will add value to their life, or they won’t be interested. Think carefully about how you present the offer.
