Online businesses are different from
the standard local store in your neighborhood. They require a different
approach as it relates to acquisition of customers. No matter what business you
choose online, you must have a strategy to bring potential customers to you.
After all, it is not like your local restaurant, in which the owner may
personally know some of his customers. No, in this day and age you must be more
creative. How is this done?
On line, a
customer is first called a "lead". Once a lead visits your site or
URL there may be the potential of interest in what you are offering. There are
a few ways to initially connect with leads. Some methods include the
following...purchasing leads from a lead generation company, placing ads on the
internet, writing articles that talk about your business, OET Coaching for Nurses in Chandigarh, writing newsletters, funded
proposals, etc. The list goes on and on. In this article I will speak
specifically about the differences of various lead generation systems. I will
attempt to point out the issues that are most critical for your online success.
Let's begin...
Purchasing leads from a lead
generation company seems simple enough. Finding the names has already been done
for you. It is a simple exchange of your money for a list of names. Of course,
the next step is not so easy. You must contact them to see if they have an
interest in your offer.
Lead
generation companies have to attract copious amounts of names through their
advertising in order to fill the orders of online businesses like yours. And,
in most cases, CRNE Coaching for Nursing in Chandigarh, these leads are sold to more than
one business. So, in essence you are paying a dear price for very generic
leads, leads that, most likely, have been approached by other businesses prior
to your contact with them. This fact greatly reducing the possibility of
"your" lead having an interest in your business.
Generating
your own leads starts you on the path of much greater success and much less
stress. Whether you use online ads, OET Coaching for Nurses in Chandigarh, article writing, or newsletters you
must have a system in place that will maximize the lead's contact with you and
most importantly give them a good reason to become associated with you. For
example, let's say you write a Google ad on a particular service that you
offer. When a person on the internet clicks that ad, that person has already
qualified themselves as an interested targeted lead. Can you see that this lead
is much more likely to do business with you than a lead that simply filled out
an online questionnaire?
Here is a specific example...let's
say you are building a network marketing business. What lead would be more
likely to investigate the business that you are offering? A lead that answered
on online questionnaire and agreed that yes, he wants to make more money? Or a
lead that clicked on your ad that stated something like, "looking for a
motivated business builder to grow a new network marketing company? I think the
answer is obvious. One lead is generic, the other is very specific. Most lead
generation systems that I am familiar with understand this difference and don't
use the generic questionnaires that are prominent with companies that simply
sell leads. Let's continue...
We are not
done yet...Unless your system has a way to rigorously track what your leads are
doing, NCLEX Coaching for Nursing in Chandigarh, all the work you had done to this
point has left you short. For example, does your system show you exactly how deep
the lead got into your information and offerings? This information is vital.
Each lead will have various degrees of interest and will investigate your
information to different levels. You must know how much information the lead
has obtained in order to know what information will be most appropriate next.
While at first glance this might seem complicated, with a solid lead generation
and tracking system this is all done automatically.
