[Ep#386] Lead Generation: How to track and figure out what’s not working
Are you struggling to generate leads and clients for your coaching business? If you answered ‘Yes,’ you are not alone. In fact, according to various studies, businesses worldwide have confirmed that lead generation and getting new clients is within the top 10 challenges they continue to face. So, in today’s episode, I want to introduce you to a tool that will help you gauge what you need to do in order to increase leads (and ultimately clients), and where the gaps are that could potentially be letting leads (and clients) slip through the cracks. The tool is my ‘Pipeline Assessment’ tool. I created this tool initially for my clients to be able to see a visual diagram along with the impact small changes can make in terms of growing their audience, generating leads, having sales conversations, and ultimately enrolling customers into their coaching programs. I’m sure you’ve heard business mentors say that the way to increase sales is by increasing either one of these things:
Stage 1: Exposure to a larger audience; [Awareness]
Stage 2: Number of people who will show interest in learning more from you; [Leads]
Stage 3: Number of people who then book a time to speak with you to find out more about your services; [Enquiries]
Stage 4: The price of your programs. [Clients]
And, if you increase each of these stages by a small percentage, you can see an impressive increase in your overall business revenue. The Pipeline Assessment Tool will help you pinpoint and track each of the stages. Let’s dive in to find out more on today’s show. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:

29. Leveraging your podcast in your Customer Journey
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #29. If you’ve accessed my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass, you would have heard me talk about the customer journey and how your podcast can play an integral role in nurturing your customers along the customer journey when you have the right strategy and tactic in place. Make sure you listen to tip #30 as I share more about the tactic that will help you begin to nurture listeners into leads. The three stages to the customer journey, is Stage 1 Awareness, Stage 2 Consideration and Stage 3 Decision. Stage 1 – Awareness is when the potential customer is aware they have a problem and they are actively seeking answers. They’ve now come across your podcast and they are listening to you share your insights. Stage 2 – Consideration is when they have just taken that next step after your call to action - that listener has now become a lead and they are now considering the information you are sharing, they are considering you, they are continuing to build know like and trust, as they continue to consume and engage with the content you are sharing. Then Stage 3, is Decision – when with another call to action, your listener who has become a lead, is now being nurtured along the customer journey to become an enquiry, they are now either booking themselves on a strategy/discovery call waiting to speak to you about how you might be able to help them. Which has all started from your podcast, as you continued to build know, like and trust with your listener, nurturing them from Awareness stage, to Consider stage, right through to Decision stage. As I mentioned in my Masterclass – a customer journey is a strategic sequential set of steps that continue to build know, like and trust and once you have those strategic sequential set of steps in place they can continue to work for you 24/7, 365 days a year. Have you mapped out your customer journey and how you can leverage your podcast to nurture them through your strategic sequential set of steps?If not, that’s what I encourage you to focus on. And, if you haven’t already, get access to my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass where I dive even deeper into the customer journey and how to nurture listeners into leads. www.PodcastingWitjPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead that’s PodcastingWithPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

28. Why the 'end in mind' is crucial for your podcast
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #28. On tip #7 of this ListenerIntoLead series you would have heard me share: Where do you start when it comes to your podcast? You start with the end in mind. But not just ANY end in mind. But a specific end in mind. Because specificity is key. For instance a goal of: “I want to build visibility and brand awareness with my podcast” is not specific. Nor is, I want to grow my podcast downloads to 1,000 downloads per episode – that's not specific either. Go back and listen to that tip if you want to learn how to be more specific. Another thing I want you to be clear on starting with the end in mind – is thinking about (a) your overall message and where you want to position yourself as a trusted authority and (b) your overall business model and where specifically you want to lead people along your customer journey, so that you can begin to seed and lead people. I’ll speak more about the customer journey and your podcast in tip 29. For instance, one of my clients initially wanted to share more about her high level programs, BUT when we looked at her current and former customers we could see that her VIP clients had first begun working in her group coaching programs, which had a lesser investment and from there had become higher level VIP clients. She also wanted to grow her membership program and she realised if she focused first on growing that and seeding and leading into that program, she could begin to nurture her higher level clients from inside her membership program. So, her end in mind would be better focused on building her membership program and seeding and leading that within her call to action, rather than speaking about any of her other programs. So, when it come to your end in mind, think about your current business program pathway and your business model, along with the goals you have for your business? Can you get clear on how best your podcast can support you in achieving those goals? Once you do, you can ensure you have the right strategy in place, the right call to action at the end of your podcast, and the right follow up system that continues to build know like and trust and nurture listeners into leads and ultimately enquiries and paying customers. But that starts with getting clear on the end in mind and the right podcast strategy to support you. I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible? Access my free Masterclass, on how to become Distinguishable, Uncopyable and Irresistible to your ideal client – even if you’re in a crowded marketplace.

27. Building Fans NOT Followers for your podcast
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #27. Today’s tip is about the importance of creating fans – NOT followers. Because fans will do business with you and will recommend you, whereas followers will not. If we look at the definition of fan in the Cambridge dictionary: “A fan is someone who admires and supports a person, sport, sports team.” Other words associated with fan include: a devotee, an enthusiast, people who are adoring, are avid supporters, are ardent support. Whereas let’s look at follower: “someone who is interested in something.” So quite different from a fan. You’ve heard me share more about the Podcast Positioning Quadrant – and the importance of building a highly engaged and highly niched audience – a community of ideal clients who love everything about what you say, what you stand for, they resonate with your values, your voice and your vision – and they need what you have to offer. Therefore they are fans of your podcast, of you. They admire you and support you. They are devoted to you, your message and brand. Versus someone who is just following you because they are interested in what you have to share. Big difference. Fans will binge listen to every episode. Followers just the ones that are of interest and when they get time. Fans will share your podcast and will engage with you in your community. Followers won’t. Fans will eventually do business with you, will recommend you and refer you. Followers won’t. So, when it comes to your podcast, get to know and understand your ideal client so well that you create a unique and compelling listener experience so you continue to build a community of highly engaged fans. I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

26. The number 1 rule when it comes to podcasting
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #26. You’ve heard me say this before in this #ListenerIntoLead Series and I’ll say it again. There are NO rules to podcasting other than the rules you set yourself. And, as the CEO of your business, you get to make the rules AND you get to break the rules if you want to, if you find something didn’t work as well as you had hoped. Or, because you changed your mind about something. For instance, if you don’t have time to create an ongoing podcast – don't. Just like one of my clients, create an ever-green podcast series and continue to leverage that in your content sharing and seed and lead strategy. Don’t want to do a long podcast episode? Don’t - keep them 5 minutes. Or 10 minutes, or whatever length that you believe best suits your ideal client. Remember, your podcast, your rules – you get to make them and you get to break them. Stop listening to people who tell you your podcast needs to be a certain length, that you need to publish at a certain frequency, or that you need sound effects, and all of the bells and whistles. Remember, your podcast is a way that you can continue to build an audience of your ideal client, it allows you to continue to build know, like and trust with your ideal client, and when your ideal client is ready to move forward – he/she will take that next step, which is something I’ll be speaking about in tip in upcoming tips. The only thing I will encourage you to do is make sure you are clear on the goals you want for your podcast (go back to tip 7) and then make sure the rules you set yourself and the strategy you use, best positions you to achieve the goals you want, with your podcast. I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

25. Your Umbrella Statement for your podcast
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #25 Here’s another shout out to all of the multi-passionate #entrepreneurs who struggle with defining their ONE THING. Because limiting yourself to just ONE THING seems totally foreign to you. And, life is too short to just focus on ONE THING. You’ve got diverse interests, you love learning, and having to choose just ONE THING gives you heart palpitations. I get it! Guess what?! You DON'T have to limit yourself to just ONE THING. However, you DO have to change the way you speak about what you do – especially on your podcast. Think of the ONE outcome you can help your client achieve through leveraging your unique blend of knowledge and experience you have to offer. Then create an outcome-focused statement you know your ideal client will notice. ☂️ I call that: Your Umbrella Statement. Here’s an example: When I worked in the career industry my statement was: Get Noticed, Hired & Paid What You’re Worth. It's what my clients needed help with. I offered resume development, interview coaching, job search coaching etc., which sat under that statement. Now with #businesses I help them: Build their Reach, Reputation (as a trusted authority) and their Revenue, with my expertise in #PersonalBranding, Business and #Podcast strategy. Over to you. Think about the ways you can help people and through combining your expertise what is the outcome you help them achieve and developing this into an overarching statement – Your Umbrella Statement. And then begin sharing that within your podcast. In fact, your Umbrella Statement may just become the tagline of your podcast, or help you refine your podcast name, if you’re still in the process of launching your podcast. I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

24. Authenticity is Paramount for your podcast
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #24 Ever heard the saying ‘marketers ruin everything’? EVERY Tom, Dick and Harry (sorry to all of the Tom, Dick and Harry’s out there – no offence to you) however just making my point that every sadly unscrupulous marketer under the sun – jumps on the bandwagon overusing something so much – that it can become tarnished. For me the word ‘authentic’ is integral. My leading Brand Archetype is Explorer and the Explorer is all about pioneering the discover of our truth. So, words such as unique, individual, authentic are words that express what I stand for, what I help people with – helping them identify what’s unique and authentic for them and helping them bring that out into their marketing and content. So, for me Authenticity when it comes to your personal Brand (and my background is in personal branding) is integral. Which is why one of my core personal branding principles is Authenticity is NOT a buzzword – it's paramount. Because the opposite of authenticity is fake, which is why I cringe when I hear other marketers tell their clients – just make up a story. Just fake it. Yuk! You’re a change maker and change makers don’t fake things, they don’t lie. Instead, being authentic means being genuine and being REAL. The real deal! And, that’s how you should be on each and every episode of your podcast. Whether you are interviewing guests or doing a solo show on your own. So, over to you. What does authenticity and being authentic mean to you and what aspects of being authentic will you continue to bring forward on your podcast? I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

23. Your Unique and Uncopyable Personal Brand on your podcast
Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #23. If I was to ask you to define Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand – how would you respond?If you said your Personal Brand is your reputation – you'd be correct. Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand is not a fad, it’s not a buzz word that some marketers have begun throwing around as the flavour of the day. In fact, in my former business – a Career Consultancy we were talking about the importance of Personal Branding back in 2000’s. So, it’s NOT a fad at all! Your Personal Brand is your reputation. It’s what people think about you when your name is mentioned. It’s what people say about you when asked to share their experience. And, while you can’t control what people think or say about you, you CAN influence it. By your actions, your interactions, your conversations, - everything can impact your reputation, your Personal Brand. Positively. Or negatively. If you do a Personal Brand audit today – would people think and say the exact things you’d want them to say? Or are you leaving it to chance. If you asked 5 people (who knew you well) to describe you in 5 words – would the 5 words they use to describe you be the same? And, more importantly, are they the 5 words you would want them to use to describe you? Are you showing up on your podcast expressing your personal brand and are those 5 words coming through in your mannerisms and the unique listener experience you are creating? It should! I’ll see you in the next tip. YOUR NEXT STEP: Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?
