Are You Looking For Ways To Generate More Leads?

By Ruthida Namubiru


For any business to thrive, there is need for generating more leads constantly. If there are no leads, there will not be any sales. This is true for any business, whether a brick and mortar business or an MLM business. There are different ways to generate leads, but not all of these methods will give you high quality results. Despite of the fact that some cheap lead generation methods may yield some good results, many a times we find that they are costly in the long run because they may give you unqualified leads - people who are not interested in what you are offering. So you find you have wasted your time and money and made no sales for your business.

Generating more leads could be a labor intensive process. Offline lead generation process requires meeting prospects face-to-face in physical locations as well contacting them over the telephone. These leads that are generated must be placed in a database and contacted one at a time. You may have to mail information to the prospects, which may also be an expensive activity. Such leads must then be qualified for future sales.

How about online lead generation? It may seem easy at the fore front but if you are an online marketer, you know that online lead generation is not straight forward too. It is a totally different jungle from the offline arena. You are like a small fish in a big pond where no one knows you or your small business.

It takes time and money for any business to kick off. One may have to spend money on advertising, building a website, starting a blog. For instance if they did this and also invested time and money in the tried and tested methods like regularly updating their website, setting up an auto-responder and promptly responding to emails, joining social media sites as well as building back links and still got no immediate results, they may get frustrated and revert to their offline strategies thinking that's what they can do best, only forgetting they already failed at it and that's why they opted for online strategies in the first place.

So you find that for this reason, many people consider purchasing more leads from selling firms. However, this activity has a significant drawback such as:

1. These leads are already sold to thousands of others looking for more leads like yourself so you stand a chance of negative attitude from them because they are already tired of receiving hundreds of calls.

2. Many times the leads are not actually qualified.

3. And... you may end up on that list of leads yourself and sold to others buying leads!!

So why would one buy leads? Even if you were to get a good reputable company that sells highly qualified leads, it would cost you some big bucks, whether you are able to convert them to sales or not. So you see, your profits could be quickly dwindling away! Yet you can not raise the price for your product otherwise no one will buy.

In this respect, a lead generation system that is really capable of offering great results with more leads can help an entrepreneur to remain in control of the process. The system should teach you most recent systems of acquiring more leads that are fresh and qualified, hence leaving you with more time to improve and build the business.
