Episode notes
Lead Generation Powers Business
- Lead generation is the foundation of a successful business. Without leads, you don't truly have a business, no matter your branding or products.
- Using assessments can qualify leads and automate trust, making conversions easier and more efficient.
Test Ideas Via Lead Generation
- Test multiple business ideas with targeted lead generation campaigns using landing pages and specific questions. Analyze which idea generates the most interest before investing in development.
- Use 30-sample tests for focused groups and 150-sample tests for broader audiences to gather reliable data.
Start Lead Gen With DMs
- Use organic outreach like sending 150 personalized DMs daily as a cost-effective way to generate leads early on. Paid ads should be seen as an accelerant after organic traction.
- Track engagement through conversations from DMs to sales meetings to validate interest and refine your approach.
